How do you know if it’s more than depression and anxiety?

[Mamaxo]

does this sound like anxiety? some examples below, I’ve always wondered if I was wrongly diagnosed..

not liking being touched

can’t wear anything tight fitting, hoody’s, anything around my neck or on my arms makes me extremely uncomfortable to the point I want to cry.

can’t wear socks in the house soon as I’m home I got to take them of or I can’t concentrate

Noises completely overwhelm me, I can’t have the washing machine and tumble dryer on at the same time.

Always reverse conversations before having them.

If I see someone on a Friday I’m mute on the Saturday like my battery have run out.

I’ve always felt out of place and unhappy, like I don’t fit in anywhere. (Find it hard to make friends)

If life is busy with appointments I feel so overwhelmed like i will cry because I feel like I can’t breathe.

I’m quite controlling, not in a abusive way I just like things done a certain way and get upset if it doesn’t.

I’ve been told I can be quite rude and blunt but the truth is really important to me, I don’t understand why people get upset when I say the truth.

Can’t give an answer but I can identify with some of those examples.

Have you been to see a GP? Have you considered autism? Alot of what you are describing fits with that. No one on here can diagnose you, you need to take ownership and contact someone IRL who can help. Wishing you the best.

Sound identical to my Audhd dd

Agree with mentions of potential autism to this . Have you ever looked into neurodiversity?

Thank you all. My doctors are rubbish i know everyone says that but my drs only see you if it’s an emergency and obviously this isn’t an emergency. I guess I just don’t know who I am and where I fit, I know a label won’t really help but just curious tbh. My daughter (6) is autistic and I do see her like myself so I have thought about it but feel like a fraud saying I could be if that makes sense

I know a label won’t magically change things, but I think it can make you (one in general) understand yourself and things might click for how and why certain things are more challenging.
