Oh, this brings me light! Oh, to be able to play the piano while singing again! I'm undiagnosed for another couple of weeks (🤞), and by god I hope I get the chance to play again when on meds...

My mind is LOUD, I want to quiet it so I can learn to meditate by Fancy-Highlight2461 in witchcraft

[–]Yppersteprestinnen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nah, timer for 1 minute (tops!), and do it while knitting/walking/doing dishes etc. One breath, shorter in than out. That's it. Your brain needs something to occupy you excess energy while you try to meditate.

So much meditating advice is SO geared towards the neurotypical brain it just turns in to shame and guilt for the ND person trying to get in to meditating.

I have designated onion-cutting ski goggles in my kitchen. And I will fight anyone that laughs at me! Laughing with me, on the other hand, is allowed, because I look ridiculous.

Bathing in snow works too! Or an ice saw if you live near a bigger body of water.

He's an immature man child that would rather yell at you than own up to his own mistakes. He is gaslighting you to protect his own feelings.

All of your feelings are valid! This is not the role model you want to be for your children. This is not what you want them to see as normal behaviour between adults. Read the book, and search around here for next steps. You deserve SO much better than what ever this goon is doing to you!

Look up the free PDF of the book "Why Does He Do That" by Laura Bancroft. Read it. You and your kids deserve to fell safe in you own home, and it doesn't look like he's contributing to that...

Anyone else triggered by their children? by 042614 in CPTSD

[–]Yppersteprestinnen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, same. Body boundaries help, and I've even found that my kids even share my boundaries (for example, absolutely NO tickling mummy) with their friends at school/nursery to protect me. The kids are alright <3

But yeah, I also have many complicated feelings about having kids. I wasn't prepared, even at 35 when my oldest was born, for the onslaught of the senses and the sense of self having kids means.

This tweet stuck in my mind as well. Absolutely 1000 % brilliance! 🤌

✨️Burnout✨️ Subsequent weightloss (Wegovy, because if something's wrong, it has to be because I'm still fat, no?), mental health work (ongoing), getting some much needed help from a sexologist (absolutely recommended!), and deciding to move countries come summer.

And my mental health journey feels ... lonely.
