Hey, I’m Jerry, 20 years old and former volunteer firefighter for 3 years. I love anything remotely spooky or tactical and am an avid cosplayer of several videogame and movie factions like Call of Duty’s Shadow Company or the SCP Foundation’s MTF units.

At the moment I’m a self-diagnosed ADHDer and Autist, but hopefully I can get an actual diagnosis soon because I don’t know if it’s really both or just one bc a lot of the symptoms overlap. I’m leaning more towards ADHD because my dad has it, but that little hint of autism is still there so idk

Recently I’ve been struggling the most with communication. My family can’t or don’t want to understand my struggles and how they are distressing me on a daily basis, and my boyfriend recently broke up with me because we’ve never had a genuine debate and I can’t really seem to help myself. I’m hoping to find a job soon so I can have a steady source of income to afford a therapist, but considering I’m in college almost full time that’s gonna be a real challenge. This is the first step though, and it was a big one considering I’ve been pushing the thought of mental health help back for years now
