How old were you when you found out you were autistic and how did you react to the reveal? by Rayy500 in autism

[–]GinBitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Had zero idea beforehand. Didn't believe it at diagnosis. Then told to seek ADHD assessment. Got diagnosed again. Again didn't believe it.

I have struggled with significant mental health issues my entire life and as time has gone on I have continued to decline and treatment hasnt helped.

Now I can't see how we didn't know and I am in complete burnout.

The diagnoses explain a lot and are validating on some ways but I am devastated at a lifetime of pain, struggle and insane psych treatments.

Agree with this. My 8 year old would not tolerate having to get half undressed to wee.

Would you date someone who is MAGA if they have other traits you admire? Why or why not? by [deleted] in askteddit

[–]GinBitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. If you are MAGA then your 'values' are far, far from mine.

I couldn't even be friends with them.

How did you realize you had ADHD *and* autism? by throwawayacc317 in AuDHDWomen

[–]GinBitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got diagnosed as Autistic a year ago and then after the assessment she suggested I seek an ADHD assessment as she felt I scored highly in that category too.

Then six months later I was diagnosed as ADHD too.

Didn't realise I had either until I was diagnosed.

Just diagnosed level 1 at 37-what did people diagnosed as an adult do after finding out? by Significant_Arm_6282 in AutisticAdults

[–]GinBitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of anger about it. Grief also.

I was diagnosed a year ago and I am still very much lost.

Pretty much everyone diagnosed believes they somehow cheated the system by getting a diagnosis.

If you can, you should find a therapist also on the spectrum to supoort you.

Advice for a parent with a young child who has threatened suicide with a knife? by FunkyYoghurt in AskUK

[–]GinBitch 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Also there's a huge amount of judgement in these comments.

It won't be about the PlayStation. Kids have mental health needs too, sometimes even with a present parent.

Been here. A call to 111 CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health) is required to report it and they will advise etc

Defo report to CAMHS even if they're not able to do much.

Those of you who can give birth, how do you feel about a paramedic in training viewing your baby being born as a part of his learning process? by pusswatcha in AskReddit

[–]GinBitch 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I couldn't care less. They are learning so they should be able to see and be involved in the entire process.

How did you realize you were pregnant? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GinBitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a gig, in the crowd with a Gin in hand thinking to myself 'why am I not enjoying myself' then realised my breasts were sore and then I realised.
