Being an older sibling, and seeing a younger sibling upset will never stop being painful.
It only adds to the pain when you aren't equally close to all of them, and the one with the most distance is the one in need of help.
We've never been overly close, and they seldom, if ever, come to me for help. Our parents were more gentle raising them, so they grew up healthier and more independent. That's a bit of a double edged sword, though. I could at least try to calm the others down and encourage them, but not this time. They probably don't want me to, and I wouldn't know how, even if they did.
It's strange how people who grew up in such close quarters, with the same parents have such drastically different connections with each other. The rest of us a close-knit clique, with a thin, frail connection to that island. It's not like any of us deliberately excluded each other growing up, and it's not like any of us saw it coming. It's no fault of our own, and it's upsetting, but that's the way things came out.
Does anyone else get that feeling like they need to scream and run and squirm and break stuff? Like you’re trying to break free from your own body? What the hell is it?
no "see results" or "I was never hit as a child" option
I want to draw, but I can't think of anything to draw that I'll be happy with. All of my current ideas are all various distances from my current skill level. It's so frustrating.
I want to do this as a career but I don't trust myself to determine the value of my art or my ability to write a decent story.
I'm not sure if anyone would want to buy my commissions or read my comics. It's so hard to push yourself past your normal comfort zone and skills, but it's necessary. My problem is that I like to quit whenever I'm not immediately good at something. I have no patience and I want the skills NOW.
It is your responsibility to heal, but you know what? That wasn’t fair. And I want to acknowledge that.
You don’t deserve to have to heal from the things others did to you. You didn’t deserve what happened.
While you do have to do the work to heal, it’s okay to be angry that you have to in the first place. And it’s easy to get stuck on the fact that you shouldn’t have to. And I get that. But please don’t give up. You should heal because you deserve to be the healed you. It’s not fair you have to do it, but you deserve to heal.
Is there a term to describe people with "trauma" who don't know if theirs even constitutes as trauma? And if it is, then it's not as bad as it could've been? Like instead of having drug dealing parents who beat you into a concussion weekly, you had parents who never seemed to quite be proud of you, parents who had a clear favorite, could be considered abusive to certain degrees but verbally abusive more often than physically? What about the guilt that comes with it? I would like to know for several purposes...
If you have adhd AND autism, you know that although the symptoms can be VERY similar, they can also clash and then team up to piss you off.
Example:
ADHD: causes me to be a bit disorganized
Autism: craves order and structure
You see where this is going.
I'm bad at looking for things, but I have like five minutes to find it before I start losing my mind. I literally put my work clothes in a specific spot to avoid this, but I don't have my own room so it happened anyway because people like to move my stuff while I'm sleeping. It's always in an obvious spot, but that's the last place I would thing to check because IT'S TOO OBVIOUS.
everygirl should get. 10 hrs a day to play video games 8 hrs to lie on the floor 6-8 hrs to do literally nothing 22 hours to sleep per day.
I hate anyone touching me, but I’m perfectly fine touching certain people. I think it’s both adhd and chlidhood isssues :P
Next up on is it ADHD or a bad childhood: i hate touching people but desperately want to be held by someone!
Haven't seen anyone mention the fact that sanrio is kinda racist... That's another reason to be "bitter"
This. Exactly this. I literally couldn't find my diary for like a year because of this. Then I forgot I had one until I needed to rant again.
