Living with Multiple Health Conditions

Hi my name is Katie, I am 19 years old and have ADHD/ADD, Anxiety, Depression, asthma, pre diabetes /low iron count and trictotillamania. I have been through multiple testing and diagnosed with a lot of confusing things so my doctors decided GAD and GDD for now. I have NVLD too but it’s so rare it is not covered by the DSM-5. I never felt like I fit in with “neurotypicals” yet I always needed a little more help then them. I am pretty independent and can do my own stuff. But it’s hard to mask my disability and try to hide it from people. My hobbies include dancing, drawing, music, traveling,cooking, video games.
