I just want to give you a hug. I met a girl through Footsteps who has a very similar sore as you. This was a great piece, thanks for sharing

I apologise profusely for the behaviour of these people, who are nominally part of a community I a, part of and support, despite them showing values and behaviours with are the opposite of the reality. One should know that this problem is on both sides of the mechitzoh - I know many boys in yeshivah who wanted to learn slightly differently to the yeshivah and boom -suddenly he is adhd, and depressed from taking Ritalin. Boruch Hashem my experience with the ultra-orthodox and chassidish community with regards to mental health, has been either ignorant, but happy to listen or positive. I hope you and your family grow and thrive in all ways.
