Hi I'm 22 and just been diagnosed. Currently in hospital for depression and anxiety, but I think the root of my mental health problems is that I've gone for so long feeling awkward and confused and out of step with everyone.

Trying to learn how to cope with the negative aspects (get overwhelmed with basic tasks really easily, hyperfocus on animals, genetics, etc. and then no focus on just about everything else, addicted to short term rewards and can't get motivated by long term rewards) and embrace the positive aspects.

Hi, welcome! What are your interests?

Animals really! (zoology, tetrapods, paleontology, that kind of thing)

I'm also really interested in genetics and things like de-extinction

If i could just figure out how to make a career out of this....

Attention problems means it's also hard getting into the really high level academic stuff.... I need pictures damn it!

Sorry about the hospitalization. I've been in a couple of times for the same reasons. I'm surprised they let you have a computer/device in the psych ward. Well, different hospitals are different. You've got a great list of interests. Welcome!
