Diagnosed at 29. I swear if anyone had paid any attention to me I wouldn't have gotten this far with masking.
I read my (dementia/alzheimers) mother’s journals and they were full of “she’s just so angry” and “I don’t understand why her room is so messy” and “She’s lazy and won’t help with the family business, but I would have been happy to as a teenager.”
I’m like damn mom you were never given language to actually understand me.
Even my sister to this day goes: “Well now that you know you have it you can just come up with strategies to overcome it.” 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Ahhh 37 for me, my fiance ended up pushing me in the right direction.
Running through a good portion of my life never really being able to get anything done, not going anywhere and just kinda existing.
I hope that your getting treatment, and it's making an impact in a positive way ❤️
