Living With ADHD
AMS: Article

I've had ADHD all my life but didn't come to know it until I met my boyfriend when I was in my early 50's. He has it and has always struggled to maintain relationships because of the difficulties and challenges directly related to this disorder. He asked me to read the book entitled Driven To Distraction to help me understand him better. He...

Joking and being told what you said was stupid

The one thing I have dealt with from my dad is being told what I said was stupid or some other phrase or so he'd use. This of course has simmered down a little over the years. I think it took me finally getting angry back and asking why he says that. Of course the reply is the usual "well, what you said was stupid, right?" or similar. I admit...

General Anxiety
Disassociation troubles

It’s another day, and I’m sitting at my desk staring blankly at the computer screen. It’s like I'm watching myself from afar, like I’m not really present in the moment. My heart is racing, my mind is foggy, and I can’t shake off this gnawing feeling of dread. I’m experiencing dissociation, a symptom of my anxiety. It’s like I’m outside of my...

Employment
Are employers understanding of mental health disorders?

Do you feel that employers are typically understanding and accepting of people with mental health issues? Do you feel it is a barrier to finding a good job, or do you think the opportunities still exist, in spite of the mental health struggles? Is there a limit for how much an employer should take?

Living With the Aftermath of a Suicide Attempt

Hey all, So this one isn't going to be an article, this one is personal, and it's something I need to get out. If you've known me for a while, you know that I suffer from dysthymia, it's a persistent major depressive disorder that effectively means you suffer massive bouts of depression on regular intervals. It also comes with a heavy...

Dementia

Do you know or have you spent time with someone who has dementia/alzheimers/sundowners? How did you find that person to be? Engaging? Lost? Scared? My mother has dementia and she's beyond the point of help at this point, so she spends her time angry, scared, confused and upset. We do our best to keep her happy, I take her for drives, feed...

How did you deal with your abuser(s)?

So if you were abused mentally or physically, how'd you cope and deal with it? I do mean positive means and methods. What finally made you deal in a positive way?

Am I awkward for never going through this as a teen?

Every single person I met online or around me has dealt with SH. I never had this issue as a teenager or even as an adult. Am I just awkward or weird for not going thru this?

Perception of Therapy

Why is therapy viewed as something bad in the media or in the wider population? As if going to therapy to get help and sort yourself out is a bad thing? I've got two therapists and a psychiatrist at present and I still have a long, long way to go, but I enjoy therapy. I like having someone I can truly open up to, share everything. It's...

Are You a Caregiver?

Has anyone here served as, or do you currently serve as a caregiver for someone? How have you found being a caregiver? Do you enjoy it or do you find it extremely difficult? I'm a full time caregiver to my mother who has dementia, it's a huge challenge!

Depression poem

A heavy weight upon my chest, A cloud that never leaves, A darkness that engulfs me whole, This is how depression weaves. It whispers lies into my ear, Tells me I'm not enough, It steals the joy from every moment, Leaves me feeling rough. The days blend into one another, As time seems to stand still, And though I try to break free, It holds...
