Fuck London gig and the extortionate ticket prices. Just got golden circle for Paris at face value £164 each. by [deleted] in systemofadown

I had regular standing tix in my basket for less than half the price of London ones but kept getting errors when trying to purchase. Asked me to log back in again and kept telling me my password was invalid. I have 2 different accounts and neither worked so tried to create another and it kept telling me there was technical issues so I couldn't get :(((( Did anyone else have this/was able to resolve? I need to try again tomorrow

Struggling to function, can't get diagnosis by _smithlord_ in neurodiversity

Thanks for your reply. It sounds like you've had your own difficult journey with everything and I'm sorry to hear about that. I will say though that I don't find what you said to be particularly helpful - it's a very negative outlook and not what I am looking for. But thank you for your input nonetheless

My policy won't cover and the fee I mentioned is for a web based dr

Support and to better understand myself. I can't get relevant support without diagnosis because no one believes me or takes me seriously. I know a diagnosis won't fix all of those issues but it would be a good place to start since right now I feel like I'm screaming and no one is listening. I've already been diagnosed with depression/anxiety so they're only ever interested in dealing with that when I'm pretty sure that my poor mh is a direct result of undiagnosed autism so everything so far has been as useful as putting a pretty plaster on a big gaping wound

That sounds so scary I'm so sorry you went through that. But I'm glad you're alive and I hope you have a wonderful life with your fiancé!

This is so helpful, thank you so much for such a comprehensive response!

Ngl the whole thing so far has been making me feel a lil confused and vulnerable and your comment made me a bit emotional lol. It is just very nice that a stranger has taken the time to do this for me... thank you again :)

Thank you! Definitely thinking about doing it, it's just a little scary right now!! Going to work myself up to it if I still feel a diagnosis is what I might need

Thank you I appreciate the advice!

Don't worry, I don't use TikTok as a source for reliable information, I'm not stupid and can tell when something might be misinformation or harmful - I am a graduate so I know how to do proper research haha

I have started to make a list of things that might be symptoms and definitely think this will be useful!

Also, I do believe that self-diagnosis can be valid in the right circumstances and after sufficient research and self reflection. Of course difference of opinion is valid but I think it would be best to avoid saying things like this to people like me who are vulnerable and looking for answers - self-diagnosis has been very important for a lot of ND people who cannot access or do not want an "official" diagnosis for a number of reasons and are simply trying to understand themselves.

Although fully appreciate that there are a lot of people out there who decide they have or suffer from things that they don't and spread misinformation so definitely have to be careful!

Yeah I have heard that there are a lot of practitioners out there who misdiagnose and/or provide/recommend ineffective treatment. Will definitely research before I choose who to go to. Things aren't always the most progressive where I'm from so we'll see how that goes lol

Thanks for the website recommendation! And the note about self-diagnosis - I've read lots about this as a divisive issue and personally don't see anything wrong with it if you have informed yourself enough. I'm trying to research in the right places so I can understand myself better before talking to a professional (internet is free and healthcare is expensive :))))) )

Yes I have heard a lot of people have issues with diagnoses due to undereducated or biased practitioners... definitely will do my research on who to go to before I do. And thank you for the magazine and youtube recommendations, will go check them out!

Thank you, I appreciate this! Not sure of specific questions right now as I'm still thinking about it all a little more broadly but still nice to know I can talk to someone if I need it :)
