Thanks. After so many years things are beginning to make a lot more sense. I always had an inclination whereabouts I was in mental health terms but this blog by the person who has had similar dx has really helped. There are further articles on the anxious sensitive cyclothymic temperament which further confirm this.

What I found scary for years was how I was hyper sensitive to external stimuli like sounds and lights etc. Even caffeine would send me irritable and hyper in an unpleasant edgy way. I am finally learning that I need to pace myself on my terms to cope with this impairment. I bet a lot on here are similar to myself and do not put their needs first.
