Neurodivergence and low mood/anxiety

Posted By Angel :)

"Neurodivergence and low mood/anxiety"

About: Community Services (AMH) / Primary Care Mental Health–East

(as the patient),

I have always struggled with my mental health and feeling stable due to trauma’s & constantly feeling out of place and I found it hard to identify emotions I was feeling and had suicidal feelings/attempts because of the confusion and feeling misunderstood.

Since using this service I am now on the waiting list that I had struggled to understand beforehand, I have learnt to be more accepting of my neurodivergence, I have gained a bond and someone I feel I can trust with my emotions and thoughts and I have learnt a lot more about myself and my feelings that have helped me be more accepting of myself & helped me find new ways to cope and to be happy with myself and my life.
