Reparenting Affirmations for an Inner Child

I am so glad you were born.

You are a good person.

I love who you are and am doing my best to always be on your side.

You can come to me whenever you’re feeling hurt or bad.

You do not have to be perfect to get my love and protection.

All of your feelings are okay with me.

I am always glad to see you.

It is okay for you to be angry and I won’t let you hurt yourself or others when you are.

You can make mistakes - they are your teachers.

You can know what you need and ask for help.

You can have your own preferences and tastes.

You are a delight to my eyes.

You can choose your own values.

You can pick your own friends, and you don’t have to like everyone.

You can sometimes feel confused and ambivalent, and not know all the answers.

I am very proud of you.

adhd is having super amplified introspection yet zero self-awareness or decision making skills. i literally never stop overthinking absolutely everything but if you ask me how i am? i dont know. am i enjoying myself? i dont know. my opinion? i dont know. my favorite? i dont know. am i lying? i dont know. do i want this? i dont know. trust my gut feeling? it changes every second. which of these is better? i cant breathe. just pick one? eating glass would hurt less

Not gonna lie the reason people making ocd jokes when they don't have it pisses me off so much is that the pain of obsessive compulsive disorder is undescribable. There aren't enough words to detail how mentally and physically painful it is to be in a constant state of anxiety. There are no words to describe how badly it hurts to not be able to trust your own thoughts. I am constantly bombarded with thoughts I don't want to think and that I know are illogical. I know they're just part of the disorder, but it doesn't calm me down because I'm still thinking them. OCD jokes piss me off because someone without it will never experience something even comparable to the shame and guilt and fear that comes with having a stigmatized disorder that hijacks your own psyche.

The more I think about it, the more having OCD really feels like having another person in my head. I know I can ignore them, but it’s still bothersome to have someone yelling at you all the time about your biggest fears. Some days I can live with the other person and kind of just look over what they’re saying as something annoying, and other days that person is the only thing I can focus on. It’s weird to not be alone in your own headspace, and the worse I get the more I feel like that entity solidifies as a real person in my mind, which is so strange.
