Does anyone want to talk

@ArraDreaming I'm not surprised your anxiety is ramping up mate, jeez louise that's a lot of emotional turbulence to navigate. Some big sad, some big happy, and a whole lotta nitty gritty stress in between it all hey.

Hope you're able to give yourself gentle reminders along the way that like... it's expected that you might have a shorter fuse at the moment or find that the smallest of things could send you spiralling, and it's not an indication that you're like, regressing in your recovery or anything like that. IDK if that's helpful or relevant but it's something I do whenever my life stress is super high and super complex, cos it can be really easy for me to fall into the trap of thinking I've failed or something when I am not able to handle stuff I usually wouldn't blink twice at. And then that sense of shame just shoots me even further down the spiral so... yeah, gentle reminders 😉

@ArraDreaming mm I wonder if that's part of the whole 'ADHD hyperfocus' thing like... we can get hyperfocused on stressful stuff too, bit like a horse with blinkers on. They call em blinkers right? Anyway, I can definitely understand why it's so hard to think about anything else, which for me usually means I absolutely have to get it out or it will. not. stop. siwlring. Whether that's venting to someone, scribbling it out angrily and burning it, or screaming it into a pillow, that's usually what I need to do... reckon it could help you too? It's okay if not, and I understand that it would maybe not feel as helpful as like, getting some solid answers from them about what's happening.

I reckon wait till tomorrow when @tyme jumps on @ArraDreaming cos I can't give you anything solid I'm afraid.
