GUESS EVERYONE L O S E S

Jan 2018 I went back to school full time (at 24 years old)

Summer 2018 I graduated with my AA transfer degree

Fall 2018 (at 25) I started my junior year of undergraduate studies at a new university and declared my major (psychology)

Winter 2019 (currently) I’m in my second quarter of 6 of my undergraduate degree.

2018: I dropped a therapist, went to a new one, was ghosted by her, took a few months to believe in anything worthwhile again, and found someone new to see the end of September. I’ve been seeing her twice a week since November-ish time. She’s wonderful but not perfect, but more than anything, she graciously still wants to work with me after many shutdowns and dissociation episodes and going non verbal and frozen for an entire session.

I was informally diagnosed with autism over the summer and that’s a big can of worms to open and get into, but long story short I’m currently on a waitlist to see a clinical psych who does formal testing and evaluation.
