How do you tell someone, “I’m not actually mad at you, I’m just in so much pain, and in such sensory hell that absolutely everything around me is driving me further and further into animalistic primal survival state, that I can’t put up with anything more.” Without saying all that outright?

People have always found my need to explain myself really annoying. They’ll tell me to ‘stop going on about it’ or say that I’m ‘getting boring now’ but my mind cannot relax until I’m sure that the person has understood and not misinterpreted me

[gwen-thinks]

something that people don’t tell you about depression, anxiety, trauma etc is that recovery is not this beautiful healing journey where you figure out the secret to happiness and a clear head and you just come out a different person. it’s hard. it’s really fucking hard and you have to work, probably harder than you even were working before while your mental illnesses stayed dormant.

and that’s what makes me so angry about people who misunderstand disorders and their subsequent treatment. getting help is not easy. you may think that all someone needs to do is wave a magic wand and stop being the way that they are but “getting help” often means signing yourself up for regular therapy, trying out medications, trying out different forms of therapy, processing complex trauma and emotions, reconfiguring your life, challenging yourself every single day to do things you couldn’t before. it’s fucking hard!!

and to everyone out there, like me, who is going through this process - i see you and hear you and i know that we’re going to get through it. and i hate the “you’re so strong” thing but holy shit, we are strong. i know how much effort and work it takes. it’s more than just “drink water” and “go on a walk.” it’s often about rewiring your entire brain.

Oh they're concerned?! And so are you?!

Per webster's dictionary:

CARE implies oppression of the mind weighed down by responsibility or disquieted by apprehension.

CONCERN implies a troubled state of mind because of personal (self) interest, relation, or affection.

that's the difference, B.

you out here talkin' like you cute or somethin'

Shoutout to the people who feel…

Embarrassed when their current hyperfixation ends

Who spend a lot of money on hyperfixations that don’t last

Like they ruin relationships because of their ‘all or nothing’ mentality

As though they don’t know what they’re truly passionate about

Lost because they can’t settle on one hobby or career path

Society: why do you want a diagnosis so much? Honestly, you just want a label so that you can feel special

Also society: you obviously don't actually struggle with that, you don't even have a diagnosis

[xhetalktoomuch]

Obviously, I just want to feel special. The 1000miles/minute thoughts forever screaming in my head, the inability to complete 1 task just 1; because doing things a specific way makes me a perfectionist & difficult rather than the only way my brain allows me to comprehend it, the avoidance of the ones I love the very most in my life because I can't begin to explain how hard it is to live in my head... So it's none of that is actually struggling. 🤨🙄

💡🧠 Imagining I lived in a world of folks just like me. Without the need to explain why I am the way that I am, why I function and react the way that I do. Imagine living in an exclusive community where it was only all of us?! 🤯🤓💾 🩺🎨

Um, cancer would be eliminated, world hunger = what's that?!, those without shelter = housed! War?! NOT HERE tell you that much! Egos veneered by how they make others believe their tokenizing is supposed to be equity. Non, pas ici monsieur... continuez à bouger.

A world in harmony and ✌🏽 solved faster than any neurotypical could even fathom.

IMAGINE?!?

Somewhere I didn't have to explain or try to understand my very existence or reason for anything, in every waking moment?!

We'd be vacationing amongst the stars. 🚀✨

Can someone please tell me this exists in some fashion here on earth? What is the island called? 🏝️

Me to the 🤖: Hey chat help me to explain what empathy is.

🤖: The definitions of these terms:

1. Care: Care refers to the provision of attention, concern, or consideration towards the well-being, safety, and happiness of someone or something. It can encompass actions, thoughts, and behaviors aimed at looking after and maintaining something or someone.

2. Effort: Effort is the energy, diligence, or work put into achieving a particular goal or completing a task. It involves exertion and dedication to attain a desired outcome.

3. Actions: Actions are the things people do or the behaviors they exhibit. In a Canadian context, this term is used similarly to its usage in standard English to refer to any activities or deeds performed by individuals.

4. Sympathy: Sympathy is the feeling of compassion or understanding for someone who is experiencing suffering, difficulties, or sorrow. It involves acknowledging another person's pain and offering emotional support.

5. EMPATHY: Empathy goes beyond sympathy and refers to the ability to understand and share the feelings and perspectives of others. It involves putting oneself in someone else's shoes to better comprehend their emotions and experiences.

Is it my ADHD or is it just the pills?
