I wanted to share a little update with you on where l am at.

I was diagnosed with OCD a few days ago. It’s not a surprise to me, but it still oddly comes as a shock. To be honest, OCD has probably caused me more distress than anything else. But, I already feel better having clarity and I can now begin to work on it to get better.

My psychiatrist (who also looks after me from an ADHD perspective) has also said she believes I have ASD. That hasn’t been formally diagnosed yet, but again, it didn’t come as a huge surprise. Even so, it’s a lot to take in.

I'm not going to lie, I kind of wish I could be less complicated and more 'normal', whatever that is. I was saying to my friends it's kind of becoming a joke at this point lol.

I am however grateful l'm in a much better place than I was at Christmas (things were pretty dark) and I want to reassure you all that l'm actually doing pretty well, despite how this all sounds. As my wonderful psychiatrist said to me, I was a house of cards on our first appointment three years ago. I think that paints a picture.

I will probably expand on some of these things in time, but I'm glad I have faced each of them over a period of time, rather than all at once.

Thank you all for your support, it really means a lot to know I am not alone.

And neither are you.

Love,
Alex
