You have some LGBT friends here, as already mentioned, (another one right here), and I would appreciate an LGBTQ forum, or at least a thread where we can connect if one doesn't exist. Glad you're here. It's not easy, but I'd say you can share only what feels okay to share, even if that means...

Thank you to all for the welcome, it means a lot. I've started venturing out onto other topics. Started one of my own, but I like to see what's here and not create new unnecessary threads. I feel like the diary is a long way off. It all feels like too much to process, and at the same time, I'll...

Thank you stephanie and Flyaway. I'm trying to be kinder to myself. I have had some brief interaction with the former employer because of some administrative stuff, and it's all been cordial and not just in a snubby distant way, but respectful. So while I feel like I burned a bridge, it maybe...

Learned helplessness is a really difficult thing to admit and all here who are openly discussing it gives me a bit of courage to try and talk about it too. I relate very much to what Hashi said about self-care, and traumatic birth struggles that DMerish mentions. I also relate to how maddog...

I was on 1.5mg clonazepam, now on .75mg - 1mg and I am going to stay here for a while. It's helped anxiety and functioning related to ASD as well. I've been taking it daily since maybe 2011. I can't remember exactly when I started taking it more than PRN. The trick is that the same dose stops...

We were in a really intensely bad time with the aftermath of the marathon and one day, I just up and quit. There was a confrontation, and I don't want to get into details, but after the confrontation I took a lunch break, got some distance from it, and felt like "I don't want to be treated this...

I don't stutter but I think I have a combination of dissociative episodes or flooding/overload episodes when I find it difficult or impossible to talk. I also have an auditory processing disorder. Both these make it difficult to work over the verbal channel. I've been interested in other...

Thanks, KK (hehe kk is my other nickname)

Hi. I chose the name presentjoy because it's kind of a goal rather than reality. But I feel like it's something to keep breathing towards. I've found solace in art, yoga, cycling. My husband is also here, a recently joined member. We are both still reeling after events in April. While he...
