Flourishing

I wouldn’t have minded being told I was behind in some ways, if it was true and if I got help for those areas of difficulty. I wonder which is worse being told you are behind in certain ways or not getting the help and support you need to flourish.

I’m 61 with a track record of 44 years diagnosed severe mental illness. I have probable NVLD and possible autism(traits). I also ,based on childhood, have possible/probable dyspraxia. Such things were never really recognised for above averagely intelligent children from the early 60s to mid 70s and thus I went, and stayed , under the radar. As a result I have never got help and support for those things. Result- I 've never worked and can count the number of friends I’ve had on one hand.

Yeah one thing I have notice about nhs psychiatry is that they only dx barn door stuff. There isn’t much appreciation for the ‘subtle’

Most pdocs are like the football manager who can only set up his team to play in one formation or style.
