I Just Want Someone to Talk to
"My coworkers and even my husband don't seem to want to talk about my having ADHD, but I don't have any friends to talk to. My therapist isn't any help either, and I am feeling discouraged and depressed." SO LONELY
Aggressive Behavior
"My seven-year-old is very smart, and can be sweet and polite. But recently, he's had several episodes of complete rage — screaming, calling me names, hitting. Is this normal?" I AM DESPERATE
How to Muster (and Maintain) Focus
"I have a hard time making decisions, and focusing long enough to get anything done. When I get an idea, it sounds good — until it starts demanding too much energy to put forth." LOOKING FOR HELP
Encouraging a Child to Express Emotions
"We find it very hard to get our nine-year-old to share his feelings. When asked, he'll say, 'it’s none of your business.'" HOW TO HELP HIM?
Medication and Anger Issues
"When taking the stimulant, I was prone to angry outbursts and just wanted to be alone all the time. This was out of character for me. I stopped taking it, but feel badly about the damage I did to my relationships." ANYONE ELSE?
How to Give My College Grad a Nudge?
"I wouldn’t mind my adult son living at home if he were working (or even looking for work), but he's sleeping late, watching TV, and mostly lounging. I've pointed him toward job databases and other resources, but I draw the line at finding a job for him." ADVICE?
I Ended Up in the Wrong Career
"I'm finishing my training to be a radiologist... and don't want to do this for a job. I was pressured into this career and have hated it since day one. But, the idea of starting over with something else is daunting." FEELING STUCK
