Hey everyone,

I‘m having a very big dilemma currently.

I‘m a 21 yo transfem from Germany. I‘m recently been diagnosed with OCD, mainly ROCD, have ADHD, atypical autism and a tick disorder. On top of that, my therapist told me that it might be possible I have borderline personality disorder, either with or without OCD.

Now, I‘m currently at a point in life where I have never been. I just feel so drained. I have a wonderful life with my wonderful gf and have a great Job. Thing is, I work in IT-Consulting and that shit can be really stressful at times, especially with ADHD.

Last week on Friday, I had the biggest mental breakdown I‘ve ever had. I was just screaming inside for all my pain to end and I was not comfortable to be left alone, so I went with my gf to her therapy appointment, where her therapist also mentioned going to a clinic. On Monday, I actually went. It was okay, but they couldn’t do more than crisis intervention.

Now, I‘ve called in sick for this week. But I don‘t know If I can currently continue working. Just thinking about working again, even though I literally work from home, is so freaking stressful to me :( I don‘t know if I‘m actually mentally drained or if that‘s just me fearing work or whatever.

I don‘t know what to do. I just want to feel better long term :c

Thank you for reading my rant and advice seeking beautiful people :3

Don't let your diagnoses define you. You're no less of a person than you were the day before your diagnoses. See it as an opportunity to have better understanding of yourself and your inner workings.

That said, at least here in the US, if you find that you don't feel comfortable with your mental state, go to a hospital. They're equipped to deal with many kinds of crises, and can help you get through it.
