I’m not officially diagnosed, but I need someone to listen to me for once (vent/seeking advice)
I’m not a very old adult but I’m also not a young kid. I don’t have the money to get myself tested and supported. My parents just ignore me every time I bring it up, even though I’m technically independent now I still can’t reach out for the help I feel like I need. I feel like my parents spent all their time managing my other brother who has low functioning autism. My GPA, work ethic, and overall health has dropped so badly because I keep getting so fixated on different shows, and hobby’s, it’s ruining my life. I can’t regulate how I spend my money, I can’t think about anything else besides what I’m fixated on. I feel the constant need to collect crap of everything I love and it’s draining my money and it’s so painful to constantly think about. I can’t reach out for help without being called childish or put down. My space is a mess. Piles of clothing and junk I’m too lazy to hang up, piles of dishes, it’s so disgusting but I just don’t have the energy to do anything but what I’m fixated on. I know I need help. I’m not saying I have anything mentally going on because I haven’t been diagnosed, I just need someone to listen to me.
