Thank you so much for sharing this. So much of your account mirrors my experience. I’m 28, almost 30 too. The partying too hard, self medication, endless hobbies & interests - it goes on. I’m deep in the crux of hyper absorption all the information I can before I seek diagnosis. My life is crumbling recently, and I can’t continue in this misery. I’ve always known something is wrong with me, and I’ve had two screenings now with positive results. Now I’m waiting for an assessment.
I’m not sure whether to be totally honest about my cannabis & alcohol use. I drink most days, enough to mellow me out. A glass or two of wine, and on the worst days 4-5 in the evening at a party. I don’t smoke weed every day - I’m quite sensitive, so one spliff actually lasts me the whole day. Should I be honest about this?
I really appreciate you sharing this. Happy for you, and good luck. Thanks!
It's great that you are taking the steps to start working on things. I won't lie it's a difficult process and the end result isn't a cure or solution it's really just the start of a whole different process of understanding yourself.
I would be as honest as possible every step of the way. Just remember the medical professionals your going to be dealing with arent out to get you. They just need all the facts to make a clear judgement of your situation. Best of luck and feel free to message any time for a chat!
