I think each of you is entitled to ask for information and support wherever it might be available. And that the two of you need to speak to each other in person. There is a wealth of knowledge here, usually shared with a spirit of both compassion and challenge.

Yes, I've reported it. I have a DDNOS diagnosis, which I generally disbelieve until something like this happens. I can't imagine what it would be like to be so separated as you experience. That must be a huge shock to come upon. For me, there just seems to be so much conflict in my thinking...

I've asked for this to be re-opened because I've done it again. I wanted to use the book to follow up on something my therapist said, but i can't find it. It seems I've hidden it, again, and this time not in any of the places I might expect. I'm no further forward I hate having no control...

Usually when people talk about isolating, they mean a deliberate action, but the rest of your post doesn't sound like that. For myself, I'd rather be alone, so I'm not the best person to advise. The only practical solution I can think of is to get, or borrow, a dog to walk. It forces you to...

I'm posting this here because it may be a DDNOS thing. Or just me. You'll see why I'm confused. In therapy I'm almost always calm, detached, unemotional. I was commenting on how strange this is. I'd been reporting a series of mind blanks, like forgetting to turn the oven on, then failing to...
