Hopeful but not confident

Hi, my name’s Brigid from the South coast of England.

I’ve had a lot of different jobs from counsellor to mushroom farmer, but most of my life has been about being a single mum to my 3 daughters, one of whom has special needs.

I have ADHD and ASD but was only diagnosed about 18 months ago at age 62. Spent the rest of my life with diagnoses of depression and anxiety and also ME, CFS, fibromyalgia and FND. My body has collapsed under the strain of trying to perform better and not understanding my differences.

I’m here to be seen as I really am (which is a hot mess) and to hopefully learn more about myself and how I can function better in the world without so much stress and anxiety. I’ve tried everything, and some stuff has helped in some areas, but the pain and lack of energy in my body tells me that I have a long way to go.

I’m worried about the technical side of this challenge, I took hours to figure out how to even post this, and I can’t figure out how to actually join live tomorrow! Hoping to see you all here (or somewhere) tomorrow, and hoping for a better future for us all x
