Good point and i do agree. Baseline assumptions should be revaluated from time to time, usually in the light of new information. That’s the main reason I’m regularly having these discussions. Sadly i still am a human not a supercomputer and i can miss details/some information and I’m prone to biases.
I’m in Eastern Europe, we have kinda double layerd system.
Free universal healthcare, but that’s really underfunded so only the basics work for emergencies.
Private healthcare which is just really expensive with minimal aid form insurance companies for the actually necessary services.
I haven’t given up on therapy, just the main issue that pushed me to it dissipated over time and I’ve dealt with ADHD for my whole life and developed good enough and by now even healthier coping methods for it than before.
ASD side is newer one but I’m slowly, over the years, exploring what aspects of my mind are effected by that side. Social and emotional side seems to be most effected.
Of course if financial and time situation improves over time, i will likely try therapy out again, even if just for experimenting and testing out my taught patterns.
No worries about the sentence structure. It’s completely understandable.
I appreciate that, but I definitely recommend a psychiatrist visit over a therapist because for anything that’s actually clinically diagnosable there may be forms of medication that are extremely helpful. Especially if your condition has any neurochemical impact. I made the switch some months ago and it has been remarkable. Obviously getting healthcare is always a luxury in many parts of the world, so I won’t assume that that’s an easy reach for you. I think as men which I’m assuming you are, we generally are raised to try in self-care and adjust and figure ourselves out at a rate that is much higher than what is told to women. And I definitely come from that like Uber masculine background and what I’ve learned is that almost everything I was taught was wrong. So I’ve spent a long time reevaluating who I am, what I like, what I care about, how I deal with things. How should I approach things and that has really had a huge impact for me.
Yeah, usual pattern is to first go to psychologist. Who does all the talking and diagnosing and then getting diverted to psychotherapists who finalizes the diagnosis and starts any medication regime.
Yes you’re right about that. Being a guy and growing up with strong remnants of stereotypical gender roles with the most common advice since childhood being to “STFU and man up” isn’t the most beneficial for good mental health development. Though i have improved over the years and even come to acknowledgment that mental health and emotions do actually exist for guys as well.
Back in teenage years/early adulthood i did consider those to be just a different branch of astrology.
