The main issue is, that most people just don't talk about it +and suffer alone, thinking they are alone, and everyone else is just doing fine +in this hellscape of a modern society. At least that is what you see on several +social media platforms like Instagram etc. + +So even despite my exceptional `[citation needed]` successes that can be seen in +my [[Work|work]]# i always struggled with issues even to the point of total +breakdown. Of course i am also guilty of painting a rosy picture of me - just +look at [[Experience|a summary of my experiences]]# or the +awesome [[Extracurricular|things i did at university]]#. If you only read that it +is hard to believe that i basically had to delay my studies from 2007 to 2010 +because i wasn't even really able to leave the house. + +Only thanks to the not-that-awful system in Germany and massive financial help +from my parents i was even able to pursue this way. + +## What are my issues? + +Well.. it is not completely clear, what all my issues are. Many of those are +related, some are just the result of coping mechanisms of ignoring other issues. + +Currently i am successfully diagnosed with + +- social anxiety +- ADHD +- transgenderism + +and suspected of + +- autism (asperger) + +All in all: when i feel well, am good rested and have nothing critical coming up +i am more of what i would call a "high functioning Autist, but not THAT far on +the spectrum". But it is funny that finding out who i really am i met more +people that i thought who basically had the same issue and a similar biography +then me. Some of them get the autism-diagnosis first, others the ADHD one - +since until some time ago those diagnosis were mutually exclusive. + +That's also why many people like me are only really diagnosed as adults, because +autism hides many effects of ADHD and vice-versa - depending on which one is +currently dominating. It is basically 2 modes: do everything all at once and +start everything that grabs your attention - or do a deep dive into a single +thing. And the exact opposite: The ADHD part being bored by the autism-project, +the autism-part is completely overwhelmed by the ADHD chaos. Both then leading +to exhaustion, not being able to do anything .. and basically feeling guilty for +the things you did not manage to finish. + +## The early days + +[[TODO]]
