Saw 3 psychologists (one was a student) and they all blew me off because I was an older woman.

Finally got diagnosed two and a half years ago in my early 60's.

    What has your experience been like after being diagnosed?

    I tried meds right after diagnosis but they messed me up something fierce (awake for 36 hrs, etc). Guess my coping/masking was so ingrained that meds didn't help at all.

    Now I'm starting to heal from the burnout but still have issues when there's too many people around (my brain gets overwhelmed).
