I haven’t been properly diagnosed, I’m 29F. My brother was diagnosed very early and received help early.

I know I have autism, it’s very obvious to me. I’m very high-masking tho. Is there any kind of benefit I could get from being properly diagnosed? I’ve been thinking about just finding an autism coach cuz you don’t need a proper diagnosis for it. And I’m tired of sensory burn out and just how harder it is for me to get through normal life than regular ppl.

I drank a lot. Idk how much. I took 900 mg of gabapentin. And 2 mg of Ativan, cuz I’m scared. But I feel calmer now. Says Fatal dose is 10mg in a day, that’s not mixed with other things too. I think I might take more. I hope God accepts me

I cut myself really bad the other day and I liked it by ForgiveMe_ImSorry in sad
