PILE 2 - I'm learning to unmask after being diagnosed with ADHD and autism. Its hard and Im leanring to know myself at 54 years old. I'm learning to love the excitement and joy that is natural to me but I have beeen told isnt adult enough and childish. Ive spent half a century being taught that my joy isnt appropriate and Im.not willing to accept that amymore. Why shouldnt I be happy and excited about how wonderful the world is?
pile 2 is a really lovely message x especially when you say examine yourself with love like a child, you're giving yourself what you needed back then that you didn't receive :)
Pile 2 - I was criticized and bullied a lot as a child by family members. Grew up in a emotionally abusive home. I’m seeking therapy to resolve the self esteem issues that stem from this. It’s very encouraging to hear that I am on the cusp of a breakthrough!
Pile 1. I had a childhood friend, whom I've known for 15 years, pass away last August. It's hit much harder than I thought it would, especially with how alike we were (goals, interests, and struggles), and seeing how badly her death was handled. I was very instrumental in putting together a celebration of life for her friends and child, since her family didn't bother holding a funeral, and since then I have pretty much isolated myself since - although I am not as depressed I was even a month ago - it's much easier to do that than stomach anyone who tells me to "just get over it" and "move on" as though she was nobody to me. More than that, it's the fear in seeing just how little of her artwork survived her death... I worry that I'll follow suite if I continue to put off making videos/photos again, apart from writing. I am going to open mics again, but with all that in the background, I am working two jobs while juggling an Etsy shop... so yeah, I know it's my future self telling me to get better at managing my time and stop going spending crazy whenever I am sad as all hell.
