• RE: Eating Problems

    I went through this few times in my life. Periodically I get constantly hungry, later to not feel any hunger to the point, that I feel faint and fall because I skip meals, forget them or food seems so awful to me that I can’t even touch or smell it. I…

  • RE: Generation Anxiety: smartphones have created a gen Z mental health crisis – but there are ways to fix it

    I’m not Gen Z but I have a lifelong interest (and job) in technology so inevitably I use a smartphone heavily and have an Apple Watch to notify me if anything happens in those unusual moments when my phone isn’t nearby.

    Smartphones are an…

  • Tired at the end of the day?

    Does anyone else fine they are just exhausted come the end of the day? I am sleeping well, and I am fine when I am working (I work from home most of the time, so it's not like there is lots of social interaction to burn me out - just occasional zoom meetings…

  • RE: My Child Won't Listen

    I am not in defence of unethical and fundamentally bad form in any science. Sifting the science from irresponsible use of language can be difficult.

  • RE: Returning to the Office

    Our return isn't so imminent, however I do relate to the stress you're experiencing over the move back. If it's any consolation, I wnet through a similar thing a while ago when we reorganised our office and moved to hot-desking. It really stressed me…

  • RE: Having second thoughts

    Even getting CBT to help me with the anxiety is causing me more trouble than its worth.

    Personally I have never done well with CBT, now I would never say that you shouldn't do it because it does work for some people but I had much better results…

  • RE: How important is it to diagnose a child suspected to be on the spectrum?

    Welcome to the forum, I am a 50 something with the condition as yet undiagnosed but awaiting the full suite of tests.

    Can you chat with your sister-in-law about any School support (This is much more recognised now since the 90's than for us older "unknown…
