Describe one of your favorite moments.

This is about a particular day that was special to me in June of 2016. I want to share it with you in this post, and I hope it’s possibly useful.

NOTE; MOSTLY ABOUT MY MEDICATIONS AND EFFECTS ON MOOD AND ANXIETY. PLUS INSECTS.

The first day I took an SSRI medication was very interesting. I went to a local store and didn’t feel afraid of random people and I was quite happy, with my usual dilated pupils got more intense on SSRIs. I imagine it’s different from the ADHD stimulants or illegal stimulants, but who knows. Anyway, later we were at my grandmothers house out in the garden and I wasn’t even afraid of most slightly dangerous insects even my phobia of wasp or similar insects that can cause pain. I’ve never experienced anything like this day, it was a good day and it got me after some time much more social and open in way of being.

I don’t notice my medications effects most often, they just keep me somewhat more stable. This also especially apply to my antipsychotics, but I feel like they don’t work like they used to.

Thankful for this experience on that special day, it was a big surprise to me. Thank you as well for reading my blog ❤

one of my favourite moments is when I found out about my Asperger syndrome in autumn 2010 after asking my mother what my condition really was. The youth psychiatry hadn’t told me what they were looking for so I had really no idea. I was reading something online and got very curious about my diagnosis, so I eventually remember my moments when other people like my classmates asking about if I had Asperger syndrome. So I felt like it made some sense and it helped me to know myself better. I was later reading about autism spectrum condition and surprised in February 2011 when my official diagnosis was classic autism and not AS. But I was later dx with Asperger syndrome in 2015 after getting on medications and after a few years on it my psychosis affected my behaviour much less.

it was one of my favourite moments because it really change my perspective on who I was and how it influenced my own experiences in life. It finally made more sense why my peers were bullying me for my childhood and youth, I thought it was mostly my ethnic background they target me for or my slightly different appearance from the Nordic kids, also my glasses and braces I had. But it was the autism really, I didn’t see it before I was diagnosed.

So it may be an unusual answer but that’s a big moment in my life. Thank you for reading ❤
