Hi everyone, I'll try and keep this short. I'm 25, I've been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, and I've been treat through talking therapy and CBT for OCD and PTSD symptoms (but no diagnosis). I've had a lot of significant adverse life events (parental bereavement pre-teens, abuse etc). I've been in the mental health system and in and out of therapy since I was 12, my main issue being severe and unbearable emotional reactions.
I'm sick of being the way I am and want answers because as much as my ASD and ADHD diagnosis helped it has not gotten rid of the problems I think are related to the above. There is only so far you can go with the NHS in my area and it basically stops at CBT, and it doesn't feel like it's enough. Obviously I don't want to have any mental health issues, but I do and I want to deal with them but they're so convoluted and hard to describe nothing I've done over 13 years has tackled the problem. I'm wanting a private psychiatrist or similar to assess me and give some suggestions as to what problems I may have so I can start the process of healing and dealing with stuff. I've read about stuff like BPD, bipolar disorder and attachment disorders but I don't think any of them line up. Is there some service or organisation anyone can direct me to to try and help?
