Hello, from a new user.

I was diagnosed as Asperger's syndrome/ADD/OCD/Bipolar Disorder, but I've been questioning the accuracy of the AS diagnosis for a while now. Either way, I don't actually have any concrete ideas as to what is apparently wrong with me, and I'd think I should ask for some insight.

Is this possible, or just naive ? Pure curiosity. If any of you (N) has seen a love story made a positive difference in your disorder, I would like to hear about it.

Hello, my name is Sara.

I have been diagnosed with MDD and BPD. Going through a lot of posts, it's great to see I'm not alone in terms of wanting to be little and still having plushies. I hate my current life. I am a very self loathing person and have always felt that no one can hate me more than I hate myself. When I get stressed I also have dissociative symptoms.

I was wondering if anyone with bi polar or borderline personality has tried vocational rehabilitation, it has been along time since I held down a job and I have been on SSI for ever it seems, but I want to change that, it just seems so impossible, I want to be self sufficient, I want to be productive in some way, but my illness always seems to get in the way, I wonder if VR ...
