Overdid It

Yesterday, for the first time in weeks, my body, mental health, and the weather cooperated with me. My husband and I took a trip to my favorite beach for some shelling.

I meant to only go for an hour or so, but it was just so nice to be feeling good in one of my favorite places on earth. Three hours and almost six miles later, my pockets were full of new treasures.

As wonderful as yesterday was, I'm paying for it now. Everything hurts, from head to toe. I still need to get a better handle on pacing myself and taking it easy.

Today will be a rest day filled with heat packs, crochet, and video games. Despite the pain, I'm still so thankful for yesterday's magical outing.

ADHD Makes Everything Feel Like Work

*
Living in my ADHD-infused world feels like riding a rollercoaster designed by a mad scientist. Throw in a dash of complex PTSD, a sprinkle of severe anxiety, and a dollop of major depressive disorder, and you've got yourself a mental health carnival. It's not just a journey; it's a wild, unpredictable ride.Imagine attempting to tackle everyday tasks when your brain decides to play hide-and-seek with executive function. Chores become these epic sagas, and the to-do list looks like a novel you never signed up to write. Social interactions? Well, that's a carefully orchestrated dance of preparing for potential distraction-induced tangents.
ADHD, my dear friend, makes even the simplest things feel like solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded.Now, let's talk about the "ADHD tax" – the extra costs I rack up because, let's face it, adulting is hard. Late fees? Check. Takeout instead of cooking? You bet. And don't even get me started on hiring someone to tackle the never-ending laundry mountain because, frankly, wrestling with a fitted sheet is an Olympic-level challenge.And then, like the plot twist in a quirky sitcom, enter PTSD, anxiety, and depression. It's like having the emotional equivalent of a petting zoo inside your head. Tasks that others breeze through become monumental achievements for me. It's not just navigating life; it's herding a bunch of emotional llamas through a maze.But hey, here's the kicker – acceptance. I've learned to embrace this chaotic circus. Sure, I might not be juggling balls; I'm juggling mental health conditions.
It's not about being a superhero; it's about being a badass for surviving this daily whirlwind.in this neurodivergent, mental health carnival, seeking support isn't a weakness; it's the golden ticket. Friends and family become the sidekicks in this wild adventure, helping me tackle the rollercoaster with a bit more swagger.So, here I am, riding the ADHD coaster with PTSD llamas, anxiety acrobats, and depression jugglers. It's not a sitcom; it's my life. And honestly, it's a hell of a show. #ADHDInGirls #Adulting #MentalHealth #anxiey

Hospital update 3 #Depression #anxiey #OpenHeartSurgery #PTSD #MentalHealth

Just a quick update. It’s been 3 days since the surgery . By all accounts it went well. One of he biggest challenges is getting the pain meds right. The doctors said the iv of drugs was making me too drowsy. Which I think is code for you were hallucinating about an apple juice alone, quite loudly it seems. The drug induced hallucinations have been very rugged. I am too weak to answer posts I am sorry,

Am a human being , they say. Pushing 30 .no job,no money, heart broken.tired of everything around me. Got used by women many times. Nothing brings me joy . Doing drugs. Taking pills everyday to breathe. Only one good thing is left in me. I want to discuss my condition with people .who would care me .who would text me to ask .am I I okay. Who would be some time.

Will I ever truly believe people?

My therapist has told me time and time again, reassured me constantly and is always reminding me that she’s there for me, she’s got my back, she’s not going anywhere and that she’s not mad at me but no matter how hard I try I cannot get that through my head and truly believe it. I constantly feel like a bother to her and need that reassurance that our relationship is ok and she’s not going anywhere. Will I ever truly be able to believe her. While my logical brain knows accepts and believes her I cannot get me emotional brain to. Will it ever? Any tips or tricks? #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #anxiey #Depression #MentalHealth

Feeling broken and unworthy. #Anxiety

Lately I have been feeling broken. I’m on new anxiety medication which is helping, I’m having more good days, which has been one of the best feelings, compared to were I have been the past few months. While I am having these good days, within the last week I have been feeling broken or unworthy. I personally think it has to do with a guy I have been talking to because I feel that I have been the one reaching out to talk to him. I refused to get a hold of him Monday and today and I have yet to hear from him. I know I should voice my concern regarding this, especially if we continue to see each other but I don’t feel that it’s my place. We’ve only had 2 dates and left on good terms at the end of them. I feel that I am cursed with 2 dates and then the guy ghost me and ignores me until I pick up on the hint that they do not want to talk to me.

I just can’t shake the feeling of thinking that I am broken and that I am only good for a few dates until the guy finds someone better. I’ve tried holding out on meeting guys who sounded great over text because of my superstition and it has still proved me right. I feel unworthy of any guy I start talking to because I don’t think they will like me or that I have to hide who I really am. I shouldn’t be feeling this way and it is making me over think and over analyze every little thing that I do or say to a guy. I wish I didn’t feel like this. #anxiey #overthinking
