Having untreated ADD while Fire Department training
Hello, I am new here and wanted to share a little about myself. I was diagnosed with ADD as a child and took Ritalin for about 3 years, but did not like the way it made me feel so I have been medication free for 30 years which I thought that was something to be proud of and I’m not sure why. I have always

Any advice
My doctor said I could be waiting 18 months to see a therapist for my ocd,thats ridiculously long and completely unexceptable. Is there any free help,I can't afford to pay for therapy. I live in Britain which has free health care. Any numbers would be appreciated. I'm frightened and exhausted.

Cleveland Clinic and UCSF (more to follow) have started charging insurance for answering patient questions on patient portals

Not sure what else to do or ask about
I will try to make this as brief as possible. My 11 year old son (adopted at birth by another family and again by me at age 9) has a diagnosis of ADHD combined type, anxiety, conduct disorder, and is on the fetal alcohol spectrum. Providers focus on the ADHD aspect but I am beginning to wonder if there

Trying to find a therapist is making me lose it.
I am giving up for today in my efforts to make an appointment. The offices seeing new patients do not have availability. The ones showing availability online actually don't have spots when you call. The office that would see me refused to set the appointment because I wasn't comfortable giving her my

So much pain. What did I do to deserve this. I'm treading water and sinking.
I have a good psychiatrist but ive been looking for a second opinion or a new one. Im not getting any better. But very few are taking new patients. I don't want some random person from the internet. I started calling the hospitals. Mount Sinai hospital seems to have a good treatment resistant depression

I just want to SCREAM
I was forced to give up my job that I have been with for 20 years 14 months ago due to severe arthritis in both hips. I was told that surgery wasn't an option due to my weight. I was able to go back to a desk job when a position became available 5 months later. Despite losing over 100 lbs and doing everything

Too quick to diagnose?
Hi everyone, I’m fairly new here. Joined this forum after stating to discuss possible ADHD with my therapist, then reading a book she recommended about ADD in women and highlighting almost every page as I recognized myself in all of the writing, then succumbing to intense anxiety for which I was prescribed

why do we get P/AF
I’m doing a lot of thinking about my PAF, T2 diabetes and parental inheritance and cause of demise. Why? Because I’m a trained Complementary Therapist of 25 years, maybe I should have been a researcher 🤷🏼♀️ I’ve taken responsibility for my own health over the years and want to ‘live’ till I’m ancient

Psych evaluation
Hi! This is for those of you who are either on the liver transplant list or who have had a transplant. What I'd like to know is whether you were given a psychological evaluation or a one-to-one conversion with a trained therapist as to how to deal with serious organ rejection should it occur.

Hypnotic
I'll share something goofy with everyone. So last year I purchased one of these robot vacuum thingies. The point was to run the vacuum and it would free me up to do other things around the apartment. Laundry, cleaning the bathroom, tending to the bedrooms or even going out to run errands. I hate vacuuming

stories to help others
I am currently writing a book on adult adhd in the hope of helping others navigate its challenges. I was diagnosed two years ago after years of therapy for anxiety and depression. It was an “ah-ha” moment for me when my therapist had the epiphany this might be an underlying factor to my anxiety and depression
