Anxiety and insomnia are the two hardest for me to attribute to whether it’s my ADHD or my PTSD or a mixture. The brain and mental illness itself is so complex but at the same time so frustrating because all you wanna do is figure yourself out. my moms side of the family, a lot of them had...

48F and overcast! I don’t know about y’all been when it’s dark most of the day it makes me so sleepy 🤣

There are a lot of songs I used to love I can’t listen to I know it’s different because yours is genre-based but I can’t listen to them or I’m triggered, really traumatic moments with my ex partner happened while those songs were playing. Him blasting music was a big sign. Things were about to...

I don’t know how popular my music tastes will be. 🤣

Getting anxiety leaving the house because you have to pick up your anxiety medication.

I recently joined like literally a day ago because I was sitting in bed frustrated that day and I was looking at different things on Instagram about PTSD. They have groups for PTSD, ADHD, multiple different mental and physical disorders, and I shouldn’t say groups they are accounts pages. And...

Wow, that is scary. I know I’d be terrified. I had a friend that slept walk as a child too, and almost walked out a high up window. I believe his family was staying at a hotel, but I could be wrong. It’s been a while since we’ve talked about it. I find the subject of sleep disorders...

Thank you so much 😊 I have seen threads of people being blatantly truthful, and I think it’s refreshing. Obviously when you read it I do have to step back and take it in but I appreciate everyone’s opinion whether it’s nice or constructive criticism or advice. as long as people are respectful...

This right here yes! 100% Oh he was definitely saying that! And agreed he can go play with himself! Sorry I couldn’t resist! 100% with you! What I thought was love definitely wasn’t so I don’t think I have been either. That sounds pretty great to be honest. I’ve read articles that have had...

Thank you all for your insights and responses. ☺️

My parents and dogs. as well as finding a great and safe place to share.

Thank you for your response, it’s glad to know that my instinct was right because it’s hard for me to trust it. I’m very content. I guess just being surrounded by friends and coworkers, getting married and having babies it’s hard not to feel the pressure. I just got to keep reminding myself...

I have woken up kind of like what y’all said having clips or themes but not really remembering what happened but my body felt panicked, was sweating, heart racing. I have had other sleep problems like I’ve had sleep paralysis a handful of times I’ve slept walked once or twice and I’ve woken up...

That’s a really good way to look at it. It’s just a name. I do my best to put the brakes on when I start to go down the pity party path because it doesn’t do any good and I am still here. 😊 I’m slowly, but surely learning the does and don’t of everything because I am tired of letting it own me.

I feel no desire to actively seek out a relationship (although I feel societal pressure). I know what to look for this time and the signs however, deep down I’m afraid I’ll get love bombed and manipulated again. I have fun, flirting and talking, but the moment someone appears to get serious...

That’s great! It’s not an easy thing to do. ☺️

Sunset 🌇 The mountains or the beach

Some days I think what did I do to deserve the abuse I endured and having ADHD, dyslexia, PTSD, hypothyroidism and rosacea. The last three being diagnosed within a year of each other. I tell myself life could be worse and it can and then, like now I wanna throw myself a pity party. Some of y’all...

Reading all these posts on here, gives me hope and a sense of community. I’m not great at this whole writing thing, not trying to use it as a crutch, but I tend to avoid reading and writing when I can, dyslexia is a bitch. Please be patient with my posts, I have a hard time putting into words...

I accidentally hit the reply button, but I anyway, I learned to cope with having that diagnosis and learning the differences of the overlapping symptoms and how to manage the overlapping symptoms. Whenever you find out you’re Neurodivergent, it’s a lot to take in. I’ve never actually talked to...

Best of luck to you! I have ADHD and dyslexia and PTSD. Yes, there are overlaps specifically between ADHD and PTSD like there are with dyslexia and ADHD. personally, I feel like I’ve been able to distinguish what causes what and like he said, avoidance was one that overlaps as well as anxiety...

I never feel like I am enough. Doing enough, trying hard enough. If I could control my anxiety I would never be anxious. People saying calm down is like nails on a chalk board when you are anxious.

it’s hard for me to open up, but then once I do, it’s like floodgates. Recently within the last month my anxiety has been worse (and it’s already very bad, I can’t leave the house bad) I think it’s because with my therapist I’m going through that time in my life with my ex with her. I try to...
