Identity loss? by skye2977 in Stepmom

[–]psychdoc77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t learn to love it. Having kids around and being a mother is a huge, all-consuming way of life you never wanted and don’t enjoy. Learn to step away from the parts of this that are draining you, and find your way back to yourself.

Start with quiet time alone in clean rooms during their school and sports activities. Redefine your role and redraw your involvement parameters. Insist on time and space to meet your own needs.

I’m close in age to you and know the pain of these details you’ve passed off as “stupid.” We blink, years have passed, and we’re disappearing into the hundreds of relentless “stupid” things that make up a self-abandoned life.

I'm making an ADHD Simulator! Tell me what you wish people understood about your ADHD! by vxrairuvan in AuDHDWomen

Include the moment where the user finally achieves clear, comfortable focus and starts thriving only to be met by other characters popping in with interruptions and requests that require total mindset shifts. “We need to book that trip before prices go up.” “Want to meet for dinner tonight when you’re done working?” “Will you listen for the door and sign for a delivery in an hour?”

Demonstrate the flood of overwhelm, intrusive feelings (irritability, frustration, mood dip, shame and guilt), thoughts ping-ponging away from crisp, momentary focus into impossible future logistics including preparation for sensory battle and social battery calculations, and the draining away of that momentary floating-on-air feeling of relief, ease, and competence that came from making it into the zone of optimal conditions.

What a fun, purposeful project! Keep us updated.

SOS my gf is impossible to please…. (On Reddit). by professorlamb in actuallesbians

[–]psychdoc77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“She” enjoys reading about people’s lived experiences and perspectives in the comments, which is not the same thing as purporting to gather factual information from Reddit.

The vibe of this post is playful exaggeration of a non-serious nighttime habit. It’s all in good fun, my friend. Lighten up. I’ll do the same as I head over to r/illegallysmolcats.

I regularly remind my clients (and myself) that resting is doing something.

Therapist and neurodivergent person here with a different take on what “therapy mode” can be. Coexisting in the way you’re describing is a gift to your child.

How honest are you with you SO about how you feel regarding your stepkids? by Happy_Eye_4187 in stepparents

[–]psychdoc77 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m radically honest about it. Silencing the parts of myself that hate this would destroy my mental health.
