I mean, during the system, when I was in the mental health system anyway, it's like you bipolar, that's it. And there was lots of messing around and I had to really kind of fight for that. And then I nearly got booted off the mental health system a couple of times because of the mistakes they made. I complained about them. And then there was that, no, it was your fault now to really fight.

And then they come back and then they apologize. And then I said, I need to sort this out. So they put me through to the head psychiatrist who said, yeah, you show signs of autism, which had been mentioned many years ago before, but I never really kind of looked into it again. I didn't know much about it and I didn't seem like I fit in that. And I should have researched it in hindsight.

I wish I would have done, you know, um, but yeah, looking, looking through that, then that was the, the big turning point. And once I looked into it, when they mentioned it and I went for the initial assessment, I was like, wow, it blew my head. I was like, how have I not known this? Everything seems to make sense. So yeah, I got the diagnosis from that.

But then since then I've been diagnosed with ADHD. I believe that bipolar and ADHD are very similar, as you probably know as well. The traits are very similar. I mean, considering that I've taken every medication for bipolar and it's never worked, you know, and then I've now got ADHD. Yeah, I feel like it's always been ADHD.

And also being under the neurodivergent bracket as well, there's a lot of mixing and, you know, yeah. So I feel like, yeah, that's just what it is. And then since then, I've been researching it even more and I looked into, there's a lot of trauma that I have, which I always thought the trauma was from having racial abuse growing up, having a lot of racism. So I thought it was down to that.

Obviously the autism diagnosis, I looked into that further and there's a lot of people who are late diagnosed with complex PTSD.

so i you know i had the therapy for that as well saying that when i when i did have the therapy for that in the service i said initially on the under the nhs i said um can i speak to somebody who has an understanding of neurodivergent conditions so i said yeah and then they came in and then when when we actually went through the therapy they said that they couldn't kind of really finish it because their initial training is on a neurotypical model so again when it when we came down to it at the end it was like the risk wasn't worth the root with the reward
