Sufferer Finally Diagnosed

[silverlinings1069]

Hello everyone,

After a lifetime wondering if I'm crazy or not, I'm not. Not the way I thought I might be or the way others have told me I am. I have been fighting for myself for a long time and I finally know. It is a weight lifted, validation, understanding, and a lot of other things as well. I am 47 and have Cptsd, depressive disorder, anxiety disorder with a splash of ADHD. I am grateful I never gave up. I am thankful for the person that inspired this path to discovery. I am grateful for the therapists that referred me to others (finally), knowing they could not help. But I know I have a very long road to recovery. I am just glad to be on that road at last. This is all a bit overwhelming but I am glad to have this forum to go to now as well. It is comforting to know I am not the only one. That there are others that get this. It helps. Thank you for reading. I hope you have a good weekend. I look forward to our correspondence. Peace and grace to you.

Welcome @silverlinings1069
You have found a special place for sure, I'm happy to read that you have the right diagnoses which will lead to proper treatment.

I have pretty much the same ones as you with a few physical issues to add to the "alphabet soup" of being diagnosed with multiple diseases/conditions.

Having a place where we are not judged or compared is a priceless gift! The articles posted are extremely helpful and shed light on many of our symptoms.

I've been around here for over 10 years with varying degrees of involvement, depending on what is going on in my life. One thing I try to remember is that just getting up every day and choosing to NOT give up is a win/win every single day!

Peace, Blessings, and Grace to you as well. I hope to see you around!
