Hi 👋 I’m Sonja I have late dx Bipolar 1 & Borderline Personality Disorder both in remission by natural & lifestyle plus very very late dx/very recent Inattentive ADHD & Autism, (History of PTSD/cPTSD/GAD) Dx at 49 with Bipolar & BPD at 52 & #AuDHD just this year! All my belated diagnoses have helped me as maps to manage this extreme combination of conditions. Never medicated, never hospitalised, my blogs contain a distillation of the natural means i’ve found useful to date. This is a new blog as I feel like I’m a new person now that I’ve finally got all the pieces I need to make sense out of my broken/different physiology, nervous system & psychology.

So, I’ve tasked myself

So I’ve tasked myself to start a new blog, from a new, more up to date place of understanding & awareness of my situation as I’d let the old one drift away from me in the light of my recent neurodivergent diagnostic insights.

The jokes do just write themselves when you can justifiably describe yourself as having ***all*** of the most well known diagnoses but it’s also too easy to be blasé when trying to explain to others less knowledgeable when I’ve spent decades in depth delving into mental health subjects trying to get well.

And well I have got, comparatively well anyway by my own difficult difficult adult life standards only with an apparent default status of permanently disabled. 

That’s emotive in itself. And then there is the arriving at the Neurodivergence Party only to discover that all my time in the wilderness has not been very well spent as all these youngsters are having an absolutely brilliant time at the ND thing & I still haven’t completely pinned down what the parameters are or even whether or not that attempted pinning is appropriate or actually possible.

There’s still time.
