| I came off them because they weren't doing anything and I was depressed. I can't get treatment for my adhd so I can't take anything appropriate. I weaned off them okay, no problems there. I just feel like I can't process my situation. My marriage is good, I don't need to leave it. My life is just du... |

| It's horrible isn't it? It's like I can view my life objectively for the first time in years and it's just so dismal. I try to keep my spirits up, but I just don't know what the point is now. I've been having a return of the maladaptive daydreaming for some reason. I feel that it's giving me some st... |

| I've had to come off my antidepressants after being on them for 12 years now. I refuse to take any others due to having adhd as the conventional ones make me depressed and zombiefied. I have been feeling upbeat and expected a crash, but it's like all my emotions are now over whelming me as I forgot ... |

| How old are you? I got burnout three years ago and found my autism and adhd have worsened with age. I don't have the energy to sustain a 'normal' presentation anymore. Talking to people is extremely difficult now and I'm practically a recluse. |

| Are you receiving help or treatment for your ocd and bipolar? If these were controlled effectively then perhaps you'd have a chance of building a life for yourself. Philosophically speaking, I don't believe that everyone necessarily finds meaning in their life and many find life isn't for them and w... |

| Omg I'm obsessed with rocks. I have literally hundreds all around the house and garden. I collect them and bring them home. I've taken rocks I shouldn't have as well. Rocks are my life! |

| I'm learning Russian, but also have adhd, so you can imagine how it's going :D I often struggle to form coherent sentences in English if I'm speaking it as I get muddled up and stressed. I love Russian though, so I'm trying hard. I'll never have to speak it in front of people, so I'm not concerned a... |

| I once read a Readers Digest true story about a cleaner in Russia who got stuck in a lift over the Christmas holidays and she was there for over a week and had to drink the mop bucket water and eat some of her mop. :( So, she did survive? Hope so. I watched a news video about a woman who got stuck ... |

I feel like I'm always masking, even at home with the others who are ND and wouldn't really judge. I stop myself from talking to myself. I love talking to myself. I make up songs and rhymes instead.
When masking outside I'm very careful to look like a nice person so people don't have a go at me. |

I think governments should top up our incomes so we can work part time, but not be disadvantaged by doing that and still be able to support ourselves an... |
