Me : “” at 51. && Look at you go with all those extra years to find your new path.

I know the challenge of accepting your Dx. If a professional has made that diagnosis, go gentle on yourself and spend your energy with self compassion and understanding instead of fighting it.

You’ve probably spend a good part fighting it anyway right.. so try a new path.

I just need to listen to my own advice when I’m not feeling motivated right now with stress and bills and feeling like I am really not capable of the job I used to do 3 months ago. And zero prospects if I can find another job that I can do. I’m too old. To learn new tricks. To be hired. Just spent 3 hours looking at Seek, Jora, indeed and depressed not finding anything that I can do.

Fuck. More CBT hard work to challenge the mental filters.

Yes. Self compassion is so important. The way I'd put it I've spent my whole life swimming against the current of my own river. Now I'm finally aware of it, I can start swimming in the right direction, without the constant battle with myself to do things the 'correct' or neurotypical way. Hopefully things will get easier, anyway. I wish the best of luck to you as well :)
