Re: Self diagnosis made me cry

Thanks, that’s great advice. I am ‘mid-move’ at the moment (heading back to the UK having spent the last 7.5 years in Canada). This move is an important one as I’m moving in with my boyfriend (first time I’ve made THAT commitment and I’d like to keep this relationship, never cared about previous ones!) AND I’m doing a job that (as a result of the relationship) I’m not going to be able to walk away from when I get bored or chaotic (I’ve had 5 jobs in the last 7.5 years and similar in the UK before I moved here). I think I have adapted to live with my symptoms but who knows if I stay long enough somewhere to be exposed??!

Not sure whether to do this before or after I move…… but it seems like a good idea to do it – peace of mind is a big thing (and maybe I should try the meds just to see what life on “that side of the coin” is like!). WIth my unofficial diagnosis, I’m already tuning my brain into all those things that I did as a child (like leaving the dog at the store, walking PAST her and walking all the way home without her, stepping on a sheet of glass 5 seconds after being told not to and cracking it, walking off and leaving my mother and sister in a department store etc etc!)
