HELP!
My mental health nurse is being tot'lly dissy abt my struggles with chnge (rltd to my autism).
@StressedGirl It sounds like you're feeling frustrated with your mental health nurse's
response to your struggles related to autism and change. It's
completely understandable that you would want them to be more attentive
and understanding of your unique challenges. It can be tough when you're
not getting the support you need. If you'd like to share more about
your experiences or feelings, please feel free to do so. I'm here to
listen and support you. 💜
@PineapplePickles Hi, feel so loved! :) Thnks! :) This was very encouraging today just what I needed love it! :)
@PineapplePickles Good news tho I'm finishing with this mental health nurse (She's second mental health nruse I've had, well first one was man and equally awful).
I'm sorry to hear this, it is horrible to have our struggles dismissed. Have you tried talking to her about how you feel in regards to this? 💜

Hi guys, just wanted to reply individually cos you're an individual and say same things :)
As you can see :)
Also, obs my OCD traits are bcos of my autism oh yeah cos abs EV.RY.ONE now who has autism has OCD now. WHAT? While they are a common co-occurence it abs does not follow.
When I contest anything bcos it's FA.CTU-ALLY INCORRECT I'm wrong for bng so diffrent 1 in 5 is not so different (that is the neurodivergence rate).
My social worker isn't much better, I'm emotionally abused incredibly at home at times and the social worker's sposed to be reviewing stuff instead it's all negative.
The only support person who has been an AB.SOOOLUTE BEEE.ACON OF HOPE in this is my INCREDIBLE support worker :) who I have to finish with.
She at least told me in advance of the change, cos I rlly interpret lots of thngs as chnge.
Mental health nurse said I just need to learn to deal with change OH. MY. GOODNESS. who does that - WHO. On. EARTh. IN THEIR. RIGHT. MINF. WOULD. ACT'LLY. say that to anyone let alone someone with autism. HOW dismissive is that? (Imagine it all in cap locks, the glory ;) nah, I just said that cos I meant do that, imagine it in cap locks cos I got bored of writing in that.
Awesome private therapist too (I live in UK so usually go through funded NHS).
GP told me I don't have ADHD cos I don't seem hyperactive. My mind, woman, my mind!!!!
It's all there so plain to see.
Also, told by mental health nurse and other GP to just manage the symptoms, that's what I need to do.
Had to keep phoning up and my OCD traits were/are not taken seriously 'bcos I have autism'. I mean c'mon! It's 2023!
