    I figured I'd talk here cause I have no Orthodox friends irl and I feel isolated. I've been frustrated that I haven't been going to church. I have a hard time reaching out for help in certain situations because of my anxiety. My adhd makes it really hard for me to form any sort of habit, and...

    Orthodoxy and psychology

    Does anyone have any good ressources that they know of on the intersection of these two things? Or better yet on psychology and Orthodox views of marriage? I'm doing my own googling as well, I just wanted to know if people had any resources they had read/listened to and would recommend.
