I think my social anxiety was more a result of autistic social issues, than true social anxiety.

Depression, social anxiety, generalized anxiety and PTSD plus I may have adhd...cause I have a hard time focusing and lose things all the time.

I think the autism fights with the ADHD though, as my Autism wants me to keep things organized in a particular manner, but the ADHD means I can't focus on keeping things that organized...so I am stuck between wanting to organize things better as my autistic brain would prefer that but then my ADHD makes it to where I cant focus on doing that and just get distracted by whatever seems most interesting at the moment.

Not certain I have Adhd since I keep putting off going to a doctor about it, idk I am worried about being seen as some drug seeker when I just would really want guidence on how to manage ADHD even without medication, like I just want to know if I for sure have it or not and if not medication what else I can do about it. Cause it for sure makes my life hard at times being so forgetful and such.

I'm actually dx'd ADHD and have been for several years, but I firmly believe it's a misdiagnosis and that ASD explains my symptoms far better

I don't have any of them.

I cleared out my own suspicions of having AD(H)D/BPD like symptoms from most of my hormonal issues and unprocessed grief of a damn 5 year old self

It could've been solved in a span of few days by myself.

Wasted years coping with those crap and all that coping mechanisms and no space for learning that matters for me.

I just need to break unwanted habits because of said coping mechanisms and start learning real executive function skills.


Unless chronic rhinitis counts... :roll:
It caused me more psych and physical issues, main reason why my quality of life sucks than anything.

Or just for not being able to cope being trapped in a hormonal woman's body I guess...

All I have left is possible underlying health issues and whatever stupid unprocessed emotions underneath.

Shall I count "being a legend" as a comorbidity?
It is likely terminal due to jealous husband.

Without going into detail I have a few health issues and mental issues that would be considered co-morbid.
