Well,
3 weeks ago went to doc about social anxiety, didn't really mention that specifically before. Got a therapy number which I phoned yesterday in a blaze of intention.
I've been doing weight training and situps for 4 weeks, which makes a hell of a difference especially when you can do it whilst off sick and leave the barbell dumbells on your bed as a reminder.
As the long term regulars here will remember, I did not get an adhd diagnosis in april 2010 from the maudsley, but the psych recommended assessment and treatment for anxiety, mood disorders (of which dysthymia is one) and autistic spectrum disorder.
Well, obviously I've not had the energy/enthusiasm to deal with that.
I really believe now that the dysthymia label really applies to me. I'm still not sure which is the top line issue.
Autism > add symptoms +anxiety + everything else lol
dysthymia > add symptoms + anxiety + everything else
Anxiety/social phobia (no known reason for irrational fear of society/closeness) > add symptoms + everything else
I'm notw waiting for a form to get a level of therapy related to me.
There are no meds that I am on currently.
I wonder if truly that my entire crop of feelings since age 5, has been dopamine related.
This article always makes me think hmmmmm gimme that dopamine kick. Check the symptoms and imagine a point somewhere between.

Anyway, so I will talk to these therapists about my surety of having dysthymia (chronic depression) and see what can be done although I'm not confident about CBT for this, I feel it is persistently neurochemically driven.
Oh, well, bring on round 2 eh?
All I know if, I feel bloody sick of the entire situation, not having made any ground due to my apathy/avoidance.
I need to make progress for once
