...See more Hi. I'm Abi, I'm 24, and I just moved to a brand new town. I don't know anyone here other than my immediate family and I don't have many friends as it is. I want to make friends where I live now, but I have no idea how to socialize, at all. I want to do it, but I find it so intimidating and frightening. I'd make friends at work, but my coworkers are all much older than me. I have no clue how to interact with people I don't know at all. What do I say? How do I approach them without being weird about it? Where would I even go to do this? I'm terribly lost on this subject and I've always struggled with it. I really need help, or I fear I might have no friends at all. What do I do about this?

...See more Does anyone else here have trauma from school? I'm autistic, ADHD, and I have dyscalculia. I didn't get help for these issues until after elementary school. Prior to getting the help I needed, I struggled with all schoolwork, constant bullying, mainly in regards to my intelligence, constantly getting yelled at and scrutinized by my teachers and parents. Because of all of this, schoolwork and tests of any kind send me into total panic mode. I question whether or not I truly am intelligent all the time. Even thinking about going back to school terrifies me. I graduated high school six years ago, but I refuse to pursue any type of college education. No one in my life seems to understand that I have trauma around schooling no matter what I tell them. I know I disappoint everyone I love, and I feel like I'm not worthy of love as I am. I wish I was worthy of love without a degree, but I feel like I'm not. Am I crazy or unusual for finding school traumatic? I can't say I've ever met anyone who shares these feelings and I feel like some insane outcast. I just want to know that I'm not the only one.

...See more I am 100% positive that I have ADHD, and it has been wreaking havoc on my life. I forget everything, I'm unable to manage my time no matter how hard I try, I can't focus at all, and I'm also learning disabled on top of it. But because I was never given an official diagnosis when I was younger, I have no clue how to cope or get support. Does anyone know what I can do to get help? I want to improve my life, I'm just not sure how to...

...See more So, I've been on cymbalta for over a year now and it has caused me to gain a lot of weight. I'm the heaviest I've ever been, and it's caused my already poor self image to become even worse. I feel ugly, I constantly compare myself to others, I hate getting my picture taken, and I'm always in fear of what others think of me. It's to the point where I think about quitting my medication because of it. Has anyone else experienced this or felt this way? I just really need some solidarity and to know that I'm not alone here
