Hey people! Even though I just joined, I've occasionally found myself lurking this forum a fair number of times over the past several years or so. I'd search various things on the internet either related to myself or psychology (I'm quite passionate about it!). I'm in my 20's and have completed all of the requirements for a B.S. in psychology, although I've not *technically* graduated just yet.
I have a history of mental health issues and treatment. I am still in treatment now, although I'm about to look for another therapist b/c I can't see my old one any more :(. I have been Dx'd with depression, generalized anxiety, ADHD-Inattentive type (told that I'm "borderline hyperactive"), and OCD. I am on a rather large number of medications, both for mental health problems and dysautonomia (I was diagnosed with POTS last fall).
On top of all of this, during my most recent session with my psychiatrist and the one before that, he asked me if anyone had talked to me about the possibility that I have Asperger's. He is the first to say that, although I've accepted that I have *some* traits for quite a while now. He said that he is about as sure as he can be without interviewing family that I have it. I know my family wouldn't believe it :cry: .

I'm excited to be here! :D
