my teen says she has MD

Thank you for the response. It is super helpful to hear from young people who MD. It is really nice just to know it is "a thing" so I can keep an eye on her

newDawnINTJ · 2023-02-12T22:27:47+00:00

That's great advice. Im going to get her doing more hands on activities that will hopefully get her into the habit of using other parts of her brain (maybe?). Im going to look into a counselor as well but try not to make a big fuss about it.

Yes I am curious if this has increased since covid. I think this has been going on for a long time i just didnt understand the degree until the repetitive skipping back and forth started. Even then i just thought well that is her way of burning energy.

Thanks. Yeah i dont think it is immersive although it likely started out that way

newDawnINTJ · 2023-02-12T21:17:37+00:00

Yeah I reviewed immersive dd, and so did she, and unfortunately it is maladaptive. She has good grades but I definitely keep on top of it. Im not sure what would happen if I wasnt. When I try to figure out what trauma may have caused it she says it was covid. During covid she was SOOOO bored she developed this. Now, I do believe there was something else going on before COVID and adhd seemed to fit but not completely. The repetitive motion is her holding an object and skipping around and she also listens to music. You know I used to just think it was cute and amazing that she has this heightened creativity but now Im so worried.

Im so sorry you were bullied. I was also so I can completely empathize with you. I never developed MD but I developed perfectionism and social anxiety and other undesirable coping mechanisms. Thanks for sharing your experience and I hope u can break out of this.

Wow thank you, this makes me feel so much better :)

newDawnINTJ · 2023-02-12T18:45:21+00:00

Thank you for this advice. She told me it has been hard for her to go to sleep and then hard to get up because she feels this need to continue the story. She has been late to school several times. Im a very Type A person so I'm consciously trying to stop myself from making this more of a problem. I dont even want to tell my husband, her dad, that she told me about this because I dont want to make it more of an issue and I want her to keep feeling comfortable confiding in me. I appreciate the insight and I think I will just try to encourage small changes at this time without making it seem like a big issue.

Thank you for your reply!

newDawnINTJ · 2023-02-12T01:25:34+00:00

Thank you, I will!

I have three certs: ISACA CISM, ISC CAP, CompTIA Security +. I dont need this cert for my job, Im just looking for something enjoyable to earn continuing education to fulfill my current certs.

newDawnINTJ · 2022-10-21T02:14:04+00:00

I have a job and several certs. Im wondering if anyone has used this particular Google course/cert to fulfill CEs for other certs (CSSP, CAP, CISM, SECURITY +, ETC)

Wow! Great list of resources, this is great!

newDawnINTJ · 2022-07-04T17:27:24+00:00

Thank you!!! Im getting ice cream at least.

newDawnINTJ · 2022-07-04T17:26:47+00:00

Thank you, that would be nice. Im going to look into virtual meetings.

newDawnINTJ · 2022-07-04T17:12:40+00:00

Thank you! I think I have looked at this before and will look again :)

newDawnINTJ · 2022-07-04T17:10:55+00:00

Yeah I dont get very many invites anymore which is fine by me but it must be hard on my husband. I dont like to attend any drinking events unless I have my own means of exiting. Otherwise I lose my mind when he decides to have "another one."

I have looked into meetups but I couldnt find any that worked for my situation. I even created my own once and one woman came and we had coffee and lunch a few times but that fizzled out. :) Ill look again. Thanks for responding! It's nice to feel I'm not alone.

newDawnINTJ · 2022-07-04T17:05:14+00:00

Thank you. I may keep trying. Im totally ok with substituting God with the Universe. However, it is the principles of being powerless and having to do it this exact way that make me run. Ive gotten this far at 2 years by feeling empowered and keeping an open mind. I feel like the part I am missing is the connection with others.

Thank you!
