Re: Hi
@0ddsidian and @Jynx I been thinking about our convos
Around adhd and that
I was thinking about how I have to live with this brain of mine for the rest of my life and I don’t get how it works and why I do certain things we talked about the crossover of trauma, adhd and personality and also what’s “built in” to my brain from birth vs whats been adopted from everything
And I was like well I’m 30 and I have to live with this thing for at least another 50 years,,
How can I find out a bit more about how I operate and why
I know the standard like psych stuff but idk if they do that
I just want to understand myself better

Re: Hi
If I can understand myself better I can do things that work for me and find ways to use that to my advantage

Re: Hi
Yeah I kinda meant like…
who
how
What
@Jynx lol
Is there somewhere I need to start
Is it something to do with my adhd diagnosis that I might be able to pull up info from
But I was younger so does that influence things

Hey @Ru-bee raining on and off here
So much to do but every time I go to do it rains, so I put it off, sun comes out, I go to do it, rains
Repeat this cycle for the last 2 hours

Re: Hi
Been getting similar weather here too @ArraDreaming
My poor washing on the line keeps getting nearly dry and then the rain comes through for 5 or 10 minutes, just long enough to get it all soggy again. Been repeating that cycle all weekend!

Re: Hi
Hey @ArraDreaming
I'm so happy to start exploring some of this stuff with you. I guess there's a couple of things to consider.
1) WHY are you wanting to explore this stuff? (e.g. some people explore their ADHD diagnosis because they want to understand themselves better. Other people do it more so that they can access therapies and medications that might help them. Sometimes it's a combo).
2) How would you go if you don't get super clear answers? Like you said; there is SO much overlap with different diagnoses and experiences. It's virtually impossible to say "This challenge is 100% due to my ADHD, and this challenge is 100% to trauma", ya know?
Go into this exploration has just wanting to get to know Arra's brain 😊
