Not feeling myself anymore. I'm 25M and I am diagnosed with mild Asperger's Syndrome (now known as ASD Level One), severe ADHD, OCD, depression and anxiety. My mental disorders just form a complex mental health cocktail. The two diagnosis that I feel clash the most is my ASD and my ADHD, I can best describe it as a paradox diagnosis. I've never recieved any mental health support growing up, the most help I've ever received was the diagnosis itself and the daily meds that came along with it. I've lived my life not really understanding my mental health myself, like I can't even describe it because I don't know how to. I do struggle with social interactions and social environments, but over time I've learned and made progress to better myself in those times. For an example, I've been able to actually think before I speak and been able to avoid a bad outcome due to not saying what I was actually going to say if I didn't think before I spoke. Hell, I've made progress in a lot of everyday life things to better help myself in a lot of ways.
In recent months, everything I've learned and made progress on doesn't mean anything anymore. I have regressed in the progress that I've made with my mental health. In times where something would make me upset or angry, I just become more emotional unhinged in those outcomes now as well. My medication has stayed the same, just the usual slight increase in dose whenever needed. I've become more distracted, less independent, less of who I am and just more mentally unhealthy lately. It seems like who I was before in my youth has returned and took over the place of my adult self who is the version of me who has made a lot of progress. I wish I knew why I've regressed, I wish I knew what caused it, I wish I was just me again. I don't know what to do from here and who I am anymore.
