I am new this forum. I don't know wher to start. I suddenly have got sick with a massive blown up in my head end of 2020, still waiting for a clear diagnosis from the neurology dept. What I know about me is I'm not functioning as who I am. "I am just tired and lonely"

Hi @Angel12
Tired and lonely is hard. There are people here on the forum who experience this too, one or the other, or both at the same time. I personally relate feeling as though I am not functioning as who I am at different times in my life. Hope you get a good answer about neurology.
The 'Good Morning!' discussion thread is a good place to meet other members. It has become a bit of a drop-in place throughout the day, members usually sending short greetings to each other, and little chats:

Feel free to write more about what you are going through here, and to enter into any of the discussion threads on the forum you may be drawn to. Searching the 'Lived Experience' forum from its front page can help find discussions about subjects that may be relevant to you.
Well wishes.
