“You also slowly forget the person you were without the depression. You forget how to act, how to exist without this overwhelming shroud of dread and apathy blanketing every facet of your life. So you stick to what you know.”

@smitho.graphics Thought appropriate :)

@smitho.graphics How are your energy levels generally?

Do you experience any kind of: fatigue & exhaustion (physically and mentally), zone out for periods of time, feeling of detachment from yourself?

Don’t mean to be nosey; just concerned; having been thru it, wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

@smitho.graphics My concern is that High Masking, over time, becomes harder and harder, and at the same time, things in your life start to get affected.

I know you’re not so worried now, but from a person who was High Masking for nearly 40 years, it’s taken nearly everything from me.

Just please bear that in mind

@smitho.graphics Are you looking to get a formal diagnosis, or OK with trying some online Neurodivergent Tests (some are pretty accurate; can help you make a decision if getting a formal diagnosis would help).

Getting a formal AuDHD diagnosis was important for me; this opens up the ADHD medication route.
