Going back to a couple of years ago when I was 'functioning' as I call it I still didn't have much of a social life due to being very quiet and introverted of which has affected me my whole life. I am going into 2020 with the hope that I will get better and start to enjoy life again.
Bongo, my son was diagnosed OCD last month, and your comment about "false memories" interested me. Sometimes, I will be talking about some event that happened recently, and my son will say he remembers the exact same thing happened years ago, like a "deja vu" thing. Do you also get those feelings?
