hi all

Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Oliver.

The other month my psych said she is certain I have Asperger's and wants me to be referred to a specialist place in Sheffield for a formal diagnosis.

I see a psych and other MH professionals because I have emotionally unstable personality disorder, severe depression and social anxiety

I am also a female to male transsexual, who is gay and asexual.

 

I have now read up about Asperger's and it makes a lot of sense for me to probably have it, so much of it fits me and little things I am beginning to notice I do and have done for as long as I can remember.

sounds you have lot of 'issues' 'difficulties' surrounding you especially emotionally - I have social anxiety , Mixed Anxiety & Depressive Disorder ,don't mean this sound 'bad' but I not surprised you have so many issues and difficulties hope you receiving support from appropriate services from these separate yet combined issues and difficulties! how do you manage and cope? must been really inner battle & struggle to come terms with every issue ,difficulties together and on it's own are your family & friends understanding and supportive?! what do you think are reason ,cause behind your emotional issues and difficulties? are you on any medications for EUSPD? severe depression, so can partly empathise of your emotional inner turmoil and battles between yourself!

Hi, yes I am on 3 psychiatric meds at present, an anti depressant, anti psychotic and an anti anxiety. I am under the CMHT, see a psych, GP and go to a group therapy once a week for people with personality disorders. I don't really cope to be honest, I'm always on the edge of needing to be hospitalised, been in a psych ward 4 times, two of those times I was sectioned. my family are supportive of me being LGBT and of my mental health and possible Asperger's diagnosis.

I have very few friends, one best friend and a couple of online friends, that is it.

I think the cause behind my emotional difficulties is a combination of genetics and life events, for example bullying and abuse.

Hello and welcome

 

This forum is trans* friendly and ive read transsexuality and autism can occur commonly together. There was a scientific paper produced quite recently which showed trans* occurring commonly in ADHD and autistic people.

 

I cross stitched 'henry VIII and his wives' for a relative sometime ago and it included beads. You're air fixing models sound like fun as well.

 

I agree that how im feeling is also caused by bullying and abuse. CPTSD and 'emotionally unstable personality disorder' are very similar to each other. Also they can both be helped by DBT so ive asked for them to refer me and finally have been accepted. im worried how long I may have to wait before I get a chance to get the help I need.

 

I am trying to get my CPTSD officially recognised and to get on meds to help with my emotions but im struggling. I have been at rock bottom many a time in the past and im determined to stay out of rock bottom as long as possible.

 

I can empathise with you and your situation, hope you find the support you need here. Pleased you can get access to a group in your area to help with personality disorders.
