Different and Anxiety. Metal challenge.

[18pminuslife1]

Hi, I am a young adult, with 18 P minus syndrome a condition which effects one in a hundred people and not many people notice it. I have had a massive break down

due to Anxiety and people tell you will get over it. Or it is all in your head. Due to this

I tend to let my emotion out but recently I have been told to bottle them up.

Which I don't think is fair because due to my 18 P minus my temper..is

well violent and I'm scared I might hurt someone I love.

However, if I explode I get told to act my age not my shoe size,

Ha as you can see I may not be the best writer but ...I try my best but often put down but to be told to hide you feeling is not good.

Sorry that you are having such a hard time. People can be very insensitive when it comes to mental illness and even more so when the condition is genetic.

I looked up your condition as I had never come across it before and found addresses for some specific support groups but they are based in the US and I am not sure where you are based.

If you are based in the UK then the potential source of help that springs to my mind is Mencap - there are bound to be others but I'm not aware of them.

Here are some links to a couple of pages on their website

mencap.org.uk/advice-and-su...

hope these might be of some use

it is also possible that people on the aspergers syndrome forum might be able to provide you with support

Hello

Sorry to hear what you are going through and yes you have had some good links and I to hope that they will be useful and you will take a look at them and do come back and let us know what you find and fingers crossed it will be positive

I think been able to talk about how you feel really helps , gets the emotion out at the same time and if we can just say how we feel and be listened to it makes us feel we do matter which sometimes we can feel like we don't but we do and hopefully you will get the help you deserve as well as feeling you can come and talk to us when you need a listening ear

Take Care x
