Hi! I have made a few posts but figured that I should actually introduce myself. I have a suspected ASD diagnosis, first picked up by a psychiatrist about a year ago before I moved to where I live now. I am now seeking a diagnosis. I am currently diagnosed with severe generalized and social anxiety, OCD, an eating disorder (currently recovering,) and Bipolar disorder (My family questions the Bipolar disorder. I think that it's a misdiagnosis that mental health professionals made because they weren't sure where to "put" me if that makes sense.)

I've loved medical stuff for my entire life. I'm a social science major, and love psychology, sociology, and communications classes (ironic, as I take classes online and do not talk to anyone IN my communications classes. No communication there. I've learned the hard way that in person schooling is very difficult for me.) I also really love writing. I'm really grateful to have found this forum and for how welcoming everyone is!

Thanks for introducing yourself. I'm sorry to hear about your problems and wish you a speedy recovery. I too had social anxiety as a teenager and have since completely turned it around, although my situational anxiety is still severe. These things CAN be overcome.

A bunch of things you're dealing with some of which I do, as well. Welcome to WP.
