Looking to talk to people like me.

[Vayle]

Good afternoon, I'm Vayle and I'm new to this site so please be kind. 

I'm a 28y/o (F) recently diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder. I also have ADHD, OCD, anxiety and depression so my head is always on fire. I've been struggling to find likeminded people who have the same issues or at least can understand what its like. So, I thought I'd try to reach out on here and hopefully meet some people who get it. If you'd like to talk, please reach out to me. I'm happy to talk about anything and everything, I just hope to hear from some of you soon.

[Vayle]

Hey @Shaz51

Wow 4 little ones with ADHD/ASD. I can imagine the chaos at home ahah. 

How long have you been diagnosed and what are you struggling with the most? 

And also, how are you in general? Are you okay? 💙

@ArraDreaming,

I was diagnosed in my mid 20s.
Yeah I have tried several [edited by moderator]. I was on the highest legal dose as my adhd is quite severe and it helped for a little bit gave me really bad anxiety when it wore off. Been trialing a different one [edited by moderator] for the past 2 weeks and I've found that that helps me more. Still need a stronger dose but it helps and I don't get the anxiety. What about you?
