Being the youngest person in every waiting room

What helped was one friend who knows everything, which took me eight months to arrange and has been worth all of it.

My prescriber and I have a plan that gets reviewed every six months, and having it be revisable rather than fixed suits my life.

Something that helped was writing down why I started, because at eighteen months I could not remember what my reasoning had been.

Well said, and thank you for taking the time over it.

What I found is that being taken seriously at my age required me to be very organised in appointments, more than an older person would need to be.

I would say get somebody clinical who takes you seriously. My first prescriber did not and changing was the best decision I made.

Gently disagreeing with Tallis, or rather adding the other half of it.

My friends do not know and I have found that isolating, and this is where I say the things I cannot say to them.

What surprised me was how much of the material is aimed at people twice my age, and how little of it fits my actual week.

The thing I would flag to anybody young here is that the internet is very loud on this subject and most of it is selling something.
