After 44 years in this life, I can finally say I am proud of myself. For getting help with my brain.
When I was 42, I got diagnosed with Autism (ASD). It put many things into perspective, gave a lot of answers, but also really sucks. I have hated my autism all my life, I just didn't know it was autism. Females are quite skilled at masking behaviour, or so I'm told. So yeah, I basically hated myself I guess.
After the diagnosis, I learned how my brain works, how it's different, what I can control and what I can't. And I decided alcohol was always my medication, but it was not my friend. So I stopped drinking 7 months ago. Now I feel things. I don't like it. But I know I have to work on that, to be a good person. Currently at home with burn out issues. Not being around people is very peaceful.
But yeah, within two years, made some big changes. For a lady that detests change, I think that's something.
And good topic, it's great that it has a place on these forums
