    Difficult situation at work

    Thanks for all the replies! I am sorry I got sidetracked by other things happening and I had no time to answer sooner.

    Diagnosis: Is it important or not?

    Thanks for taking the time to answer and welcome me in the forum! I don’t know exactly how to reply to each of you, so I’ll write here. I am in my 40s, and struggled since I was a child. What I want is answers, validation of my feelings and the right treatment. It is true that for the external...

    Diagnosis: Is it important or not?

    Hi. I just registered to this forum, I hope I am posting in the right place. Today is quite a difficult day, as I am struggling to find meaning and to understand myself. I fight a lot with the fact that I don't have a clear diagnosis yet, and that my therapist doesn't seem to understand why it...
