[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 378998"] MM..thanks for you input. It is hard to imagine, sounds awful. He told me last year it felt like his ears are on the back of his head, like he is not in his body. Last night he told me it feels like his arms, legs aren't connected. He can't feel them. He rarely talks about it because he said nobody believes him. He cried and said he can't live like this. He stopped playing baseball, he has a difficult time remembering things. He said he can't focus. Use to be one of his best assets...his memory. Now he said he can't tell me what happened an hour ago. Like it is a dream. I am so afraid for him. Almost two years now. He has done research and has tried different medications with high hope, only to have no result. I am not convinced he has ADHD..that is new. I believe the focus issue is the depersonalization and not ADHD. I believe Vyvanse will cause more anxiety issues. Again, anyone throw ideas at me. We opted to persue the anger issues last year rather than the anxiety issues. Now I don't know what to do. He is feeling depressed, I don't know how he cannot.
