  My best friend told me that he just got his drivers license. I can’t even get a permit. I want to, but inside I don’t think I can. I have Aspergers and ADHD in my way. I can’t focus on what I’m learning, I can’t always retain what I’ve learnt, and I can’t always understand when I can focus. I’m alone, so I started spiralling in my own head from there (I know that’s bad). I’m not as severe as other cases, but to be diagnosed with these disabilities, there’s something...

  I’ve developed this terrible issue with communication that’s been taxing on my health: I don’t know how to comfortably talk about my mental issues. I recently came out about having OCD to my dad, but when he asked for specifics on my symptoms, I immediately felt really embarrassed and uncomfortable about talking about it. This ended in my dad getting outright angry at me for my inability to communicate and his possibly not believing me. He only now knows anything about my symptoms because...

  My little brother had a very toxic friend. Apparently, though, she was more toxic than we knew hitherto today.My brother just came back from a therapy appointment and told me (after his therapist and our dad) that his friend sexually assaulted him multiple times–one time including at our own house. My problem that I’m absolutely livid over is that I can’t seem to find any answers on what can be done. Since the two are yound now and were at the time, apparently the friend can’t be...

  I have a 12 year old little brother. For apparently a very long time, he has been suffering from gender dysphoria that has resulted in severe depression. 2-3 weeks ago, I found an empty glass of wine in his nightstand; today, I found three. Two of them appeared to be old (the wine was dry), but one of them was from the night before (assessed by my dad). Now, my brother has locked himself into a closet, and is not talking to anyone. I’m afraid he is developing a serious problem. I’ve...

  Last Saturday, I began an assessment with my therapist to see if I have OCD. So far, the odds seem high. I’ve been experiencing symptoms well before we began this, but I wasn’t sure if I could take them seriously until recently. I have posted here in the past about a very serious symptom I have that I’ve only just connected to OCD, being one thought out of many that triggers if I don’t comply with weird habits and cycles of perfectionism. I’ve done my best to objectively look over...

  When my mother left my dad about three, maybe five years ago, he couldn’t have handled the process tself better, with more grace and humanity; I had heard things about divorce and how it normally goes beforehand, so I was actually proud of him. The way he handled it afterwards, though, was awful. Since my mom left, he’s gone through these very drawn-out cycles of beginning to drink; just a small, harmless bit a day, an amount that’s even supposed to be healthy at his age–but...
