• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

so I picked up a book about ADD/ADHD and have already gotten three chapter into the book. (which is amazing in of it self since it takes a bit for me to focus that long). Every single thing the book has mentioned I know I fall into, losing important items like my phone or my wallet literally on a day to day basis.


having emotional break downs, not being able to keep a job for a long period of time. or being able to keep to long term goals, or deadlines and massive issues with disorganization.



this truly scares me I got an official diagnosis from a psychologist about I think it was four years ago. I just want these issues to be deal with and go away.
I want to have a life where I am not struggling all the time and breaking down from it.
or
of course it does not help that my doctors fairly convinced I have bipolar, and BPD or at least symptoms of it, and PTSD


most of which I have delt with in as good a ways I can by going to therapy.


I want to seek out a life coach but since I have no insurance its of course harder to do. I am hoping finding similar like minded friends can help me deal with this. Better in my life.

Hey there, how are you doing now? I understand your struggle. I was diagnosed at 19 years old and I’m 42 now.
