Hello All. I am new here so I am going to just jump straight in.

I recently saw a psychiatrist about my moods but while I was discussing my moods she stopped me half way through our conversation and told me she had observed repeated bodily movements. We discussed, at length, my childhood and if I had made involuntary bodily movements and she then went on to tell me it is her opinion I have ...

I am 31, a woman who has been married, until 2 years ago. We were very happy and in love, had a good sex life that wained in the last few years (12 year relationship). The relationship ended because he didn't feel the same and said our sex life was non- existent at the end. I have recently dated a guy who I really liked, both inside and out. However he said that we didn't ...

I have been professionally diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome and ADHD, but I personally feel that my diagnosis of Aspergers is incorrect, and would be more likely to be DPD.

I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome when I was either six or seven, can't quite remember. Back then, I was a full blown aspie, i.e. full literal thinking, terrible in social situations, etc.

However, as I've grown older, (I'm currently aged 16, if it matters.) I've ...

Last night someone took over but stayed hidden while they were around. They posted a topic "I'm lost" and also replied to a thread a few times. Jay has been in search of who ever it was that posted. I realized it wasn't me or anyone I know of, so I have a new alter apparently. Jay told me he believes she is female and on the thread she posted that she was 11. Jay ...

Hey guys! New user here.

I suffered previously from a psychotic illness which also had symptoms of depression, anxiety and other mental health problems.

I made this post a few months back on the most popular messageboard/forum, Boards.ie.

It's an interesting read, and hopefully a story of hope to anyone going through this illness.

Once they enter the drug treatment facility, even if they don’t like to be there in the first place, the behavioral therapy especially the 12-step programs as well as the counseling and recreational activities clear up their thinking and enable them to ...

Will they do the general autism test and then decide if I have Aspergers?
Or are they two completely different tests?

I split with my gf 10 years or more ago and though of her regularly for at least 6 years afterwards. i grew to not be able to even contemplate another relationship as the first one hurt so bad. It was only 6 months long but by 4 or 5 years after I realised that I should not be so unhappy and hopeless all of the time. i saw a doctor who referred me to ...

Hi everyone,

I see there's nothing on this forum yet about medication.
I'd like to know if you're taking medication and if it has helped you.

I'm now taking sertindole 4mg (Serdolect) + fluvoxamine 150mg (Dumyrox) + sertraline 75mg (Zoloft) + cloxazolam 2mg (Olcadil).

It has helped me a lot, together with exercise. However, I almost can't reach an orgasm (and when I do, I don't ejaculate). My libido is almost null. I think I ...

About two years ago I was involved in an abusive and manipulative friendship, regretfully I volunteered for unethical and abusive hypnosis. It became worse over time, in every aspect, till they left me. Then they started to harass and stalk me, until a psychologist informed them that their behavior was illegal and if they continued they would file charges. After this they left me alone.

Since I have been struggling with my personal identity, anxiety, ...
