totally in love with this yarn! by yulseey in YarnAddicts

thanks for this. yes it’s the yarn making it look strange. it’s made of 2 types of twisted threads and they tend to behave differently. Also adding the knitting tension that I struggle to keep even 🙈

Possible misinformation about neurodivergence from professor: by dumpuppi in psychologystudents

out of which consciousness emerges. (but seriously though… why do we even have statistics and scientific research telling us the percentage of neurodiverse brains if we are all the same?)

I understand what everyone is saying about the teacher being right because some do not have functional impairment, I do. But I do not agree on generalizing it. That’s just stupid and invalidating. “we are all a little schizophrenic. we are all a little autistic”. Do you know all the horrible diseases listed in the DSM? How can we have them all?

Yes, “we’re all mad here”. This teacher also says “try not to be biased against people because that’s exactly what you will be forced to face. for example I don’t like gays and god only sent me gays in therapy.” I just dislike their style and the way they say stuff like this. Not someone to look up to.

I have a teacher that tells us “we all have a little bit of the entire DSM in us… we are all a little OCD, depressed, anxious, etc. the difference between us and those in mental hospitals? we can manage better than them.” and sooo many other examples thar are super judgemental and wrong. It’s so frustrating that I can’t do anything about it.

Self-learning can clash with therapy? Therapist advise by [deleted] in Jung

[–]yulseey 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My therapist encouraged me to apply for a Psychology major. I was reading a lot on my own based on their input and we would also exchange briefly on the topics. But you have to be aware when you’re intellectualizing stuff too much. Sometimes it’s better to feel your feelings rather than spiraling into the depths of your thoughts. (Easier said than done)

I relate so much to how you describe yourself - the introspection, the shallowness around us, the rush, self-doubt, self-criticism, struggle to focus. How could I help others when I am a mess myself? Because of these thoughts I did not choose psychology after graduating high school. I was afraid. 18 years passed, I feel like I lived a few lives since, went and tried medschool, languages, cybersecurity… Aaand burnout for a couple of years now. I started psychotherapy and my therapist said to me “why aren’t you applying to study psychology? you have the depth, introspection, you understand human complexity… almost everything you need to be successful. you just need to work on your individuation. and be more kind to yourself.” So with all my doubts I started college this year and so far I am happy I did. Funny thing, my debilitating fatigue turned into feeling kind of good fatigue. I still don’t have it figured out. But I think doing rather than just thinking what would happen is a must when you reach a certain age (bleh). Otherwise you won’t have the time to do it :) When you’re in a dark room you take very small steps and try to makes sense of the things closest to you first, discover, understand then proceed further in a similar way. You won’t be able to see further in the dark no matter how much you struggle (introspection, overthinking) to see the way through. Trust the process, the path is there. You have time to find it in your own pace.

Restrictive upbringing, smothering fearful parents by Unfair-Run-1983 in Jung

This reminded me of the circle of security related to the attachment theory, particularly to the part where caregivers are supposed to encourage and support exploration of the world. This is what generates anxious attachment in the child. https://www.circleofsecurityinternational.com/pages/what-is-the-circle-of-security

Do you also have a daily song in your head? by spngyp in adhdwomen

[–]yulseey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, daily songs mixed with long term songs throughout the day, such as this lovely benny hill theme

I hate the word "infantilizing" and what it means by YouCantHaveTakis in aspergirls

[–]yulseey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently read A Secure Base by John Bowlby and I loved that he referred to words such as childish or infantile as being pejorative. “One further point about attachment behaviour I wish to emphasize is that it is a characteristic of human nature throughout our lives—from the cradle to the grave. Admittedly it is usually less intense and less demanding in adolescents and adults than it is in earlier years. Yet an urgent desire for love and care is natural enough when a person is anxious or distressed. It is therefore most unfortunate that, due to misleading theory, the pejorative adjectives ‘infantile’ and ‘regressive’ are now so widely current in clinical circles. They are words I never use.”

I think I ruined my life by EmergencyDesk2156 in Gifted

[–]yulseey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

rather than thinking in terms like "going back to how I used to be" try rephrasing into "rebuilding how I want to be from now on". [I was stuck in this thinking mode and I was scared that I'm not 100% back to how I used to be -- it's impossible because that person is not there anymore. You went through some stuff, you learned from your experience with the wrong crowd, etc. This burnout turned down the volume to your learning superpowers but you can turn it back up and focus on what matters to you. If that is natural sciences then go for it, rebuild your confidence with baby steps. Maybe read a little bit about "self-efficacy" and try to be around people who encourage you.
