Getting diagnosed with adhd and autism as an afab took me till my late 20's and early 30's respectively, despite having been in therapy from childhood and then seeking MH help regularly throughout my teens and early 20's for audhd related difficulties.

Every single one of my symptoms and problems were easily explained by my having undiagnosed audhd, or very convolutedly (and often times offensively) attributed to a myriad of other MH conditions. Guess what ended up happening? And guess how much the private healthcare cost to sort it all out?

Solidarity yo. I hope you find out what is ailing you before it becomes too damaging!
