Functioning with ADHD

I work with kids, I teach sunday school, I work in disability, I do research.... @creative_writer So yeah... I'm everywhere.

I feel that @creative_writer - kinda like your brain blocks access to the words that are creating emotions? I think mine does that too. Sometimes it's like my throat closes up and I go nonverbal for a few minutes until I either cry, or it dissipates.

Movement always good, regardless of whether it is specific to trauma work or not!! Sometimes it does feel like energy moves through and out when I workout - especially like, when I am 'running emotionally'. As in, I let myself fall into the emotion and let it motivate the movement. Sometimes it's the only way to release my pent up rage.

What sort of trauma therapy have you already done? I forget, sorry 😅 I have just been looking a bit into EMDR lately and wondered if that was something you'd already done?

Oh hello, relentless passage of time 😅 Alas, I will bid you night night for now and maybe catch up tomorrow 😊

@creative_writer amazing how different an experience it can be, hey! Glad to hear you are seeking meaning and stuff with your current psych. Bit of the ol' existential lens!! Not used often enough imo.

How's your arvo going? I am sipping coffee and soaking up some sun 🌞

@creative_writer aww that sounds awesome!! Got anything lined up? Do you join into any of SANE's groups at all?

I'd be sleepy too, sounds like a full on day! Much on this evening?

Yeah I reckon, haha my yard hasn't even flooded once!

@creative_writer Inconvenient timing maybe? You could set an alarm reminder! But maybe it's not your jam and that's ok too.

Aye, hard not to compare ourselves to others and their capacity at times but... we can only do what we can do hey.

@creative_writer it's a lot hey, and speaks a lot to the systemic issues. Which can help us remove self-blame, but still leaves us very frustrated hey. That's so rough to be in waiting limbo!
