Hi - New to this site

I see the last posts here are a couple of years ago and wondering if anyone still here and open to chatting. I am married to a RAD partner - it has been a long and difficult marriage but I am still trying and hopeful. Would welcome the opportunity to discuss with others in same boat as well as with people who suffer from this and can shed some ...

Has anyone experienced what they believe to be a Vyvanse “crash”? If so, can you please tell me your symptoms or what occurred?

I’ve been in and out of the system for decades. I started with blaming my being raped on myself for being gay at age 6, cutting age 8, moved from New York to San Diego age 12 to get me away from abusive father, drinking smoking, arrested for pot age 15, put into a rehab, revealed to be a cult , got away, came out,blah blah blah.diagnosed finally with bipolar in 90s after many suicide ...

The first time when I found out that I have history of showing symptoms of Conduct Disorder Unspecified, was when I looked at my IEP and medical records.

Hello There,

I’m a psychotherapist working in Chicago, and I have a 39-year-old male client who offers a very curious presentation.

I don't know how to explain it; it's quite hard to force myself to eat foods when I'm not in the mood to eat it and sometimes I eat food but it makes me ...

I sometimes have a fantasy prone personality, I asked myself for a long time if it is related the Autism Spectrum Disorder, Schizotypal Personality Disorder/Schizotypal Personality Disorder or Schizoid Personality Disorder.

I’ve got a list of diagnosis given me by dr.s over the years, but I never believed I could be ADHD, simply because I’ve never been hyperactive. Just found out that’s not necessary, because I fit with everything else, so far. But how am I supposed to know what being “in recovery” looks like or feels like, as well as being in crisis?

I'm really hoping I can get some advice here because I'm approaching the end of my tether :-(

My partner is neurodiverse and in 95% of our marriage that's not a problem. I'm able to understand and support her. There's nothing I'd change about her there. The problem is her relationship with sex.
