My new supervisor recently took a shot at my head and now with a diagnosis, I understand, and will stay down in the trench more. Thank you for returning to take up space 🤗
As a late diagnosis man it's had two effects. 1. A massive reduction in confusion. 2. Sadness at how it's circumscribed my life. 1 has been hugely positive. 2. Is something I'm trying to come to terms with. Basically an inability to connect with other people with all that means, e.g. a relationship has never and probably won't ever be an option. It is what it is.
I have been wondering how you are. I am so sorry that life has been extra hard for you. I agree with you about feeling like being prey. Hope that life starts to get better for you soon and that you can get back your equilibrium.
It's SO nice to see you back Amanda! I've really missed your channel. I'm glad you're feeling strong enough to start making videos again and I'm so sorry to hear you've had such a tough couple of months ❤
Thank you. Having your brain capacity float out of reach is a challenge but I'm building myself a new routine to get it back. ❤ I appreciate you being here
Whoa- me except notndiagnosed Autistic, but there is depression, ADD, chronic trauma, what looks like OCD, but is an attempt to be clear, impose order try to assemble thoughts and collect them and perseveration and inability to filter information prioritize etc. exhausting so I go through passively receiving and trying to actively organize but become obsessive to others and not present or peaceful. It’s crazy and I’m overwhelmed. Don’t know how I’m gonna live with aging parents, they’re not working and I’m not working I’m not sure marriage will ever be an option and don’t know where to start and how to get motivated and have Neemergy at all. It’s. Crazy
I appreciate you sharing on here, it sounds like you are going through lot of inner turmoil on top of whatever else is going on in your life. I often struggle with overwhelm and there have been times when my life has been objectively (factually) excruciating. During those times what's kept me going is self compassion, help from therapists and other professionals, space and time. Then it's been a case of me just putting one for foot in from my front of the other and thinking in minutes or hours rather than days, weeks, months or years
I need this. So dysregulated and disconnected. Have not been back to work since COVID and my life Is getting smaller and smaller. Impossibly scary to go back to anything I was already so troubled in all my life. My everything has changed and I fight to bother being interested in anything these days.
welcome back to taking up unashamed space. you are allowed to have all your feelings and you are allowed to make yourself your own intense interest and you are allowed to share your experience.
