| I beleive it to be like a 'postcode lottery', many people wait years to be assessed but some wait less time. I think it depends upon where you live. |

| ^^^^Starfoxx; I am also taking 100mg of sertraline, and it probably saved my life tbh. My side effects are mainly paradoxical or involve increased anxiety.

| Hmm. Do something that is very out of your comfort zone and not like you at all.

| Gosh, I wouldnt say you really can recover from being a drug addict though because even if you stop using you can keep having a psychological addiction for years and years. Also, you probably already know, you get the withdrawals which last longer than the effect of the drug and sometimes post acute... |

I hated anything which reeked of "forced socialization."
Same, I've got a friend with ASD who invited me to go to an event made for ppl with ASD but I know I'd hate it. I dont want to socialise with ppl and stuff for no reason |

She seemed to have a lot of confidence about it and seemed approachable. I wanted to go and talk to her but I didn't want to seem like a weirdo by being ... |
