Hello I am new to this forum
I think I have o.d.d. I am 21
I still live at home with parents and am looking for a job
My mother and I always fight
I just found out about o.d.d. last night after a friend told me he had it I did research. I fit it. I can't be dinoused cuz my mother will start a fight if I mention it. I don't like psychs. they make me cry
I have always been picked on in school and had special help since 3rd grade cuz I was slow at learning things. I dont do drugs. But I cant control myself when a fight starts. I dont know why I do the things I do. I think I will be fine once I am away from here. But that wont be for awhile yet. I love to help people it makes me feel good. I have a boyfriend of 2 months he has a mild case of aspergers.He makes me feel safe like he will never hurt me. All of my other relationships have failed.My mother dosent think I can handle being with him cuz I wont be able to handle his probs. But before we even started datting I knew about it and did research he is a great guy I never want to leave him. I am pretty sure I can handle him I just cant handle my mother the way she is the way I am. What can I do to get better with out being dinoused?Where can I find support? Is there any one out there like me? Oh and I have read O.d.d does not exist in adults. But I was never dinoused as a child.

First off i would like to welcome you to the site..
Another there is people like you and there support for you
My two cent opinion is when you get a job and money move out.
You and your mother i don't think can live together. Also i recommend to get elevation from you doctor to see if they can diagnose you

Your Mother will "start a fight if you mention it"? What?

A child raising a health concern should not cause a parent to 'start a fight'. *gasp*

Is it really just you who has the ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) or PD (personality disorder type symptoms)?

[Being 21, you are an adult now, so the categories change. ODD is a kid thing, IIRC.]

Maybe you're not the only one with a 'problem'?

Talk to your Doc.
