This is something I’ve been working on getting under control and more consciously reacting, for the past year.. it’s been hard but it’s saving my relationships and I promise it gets better ♥️
People with ADHD feel emotions intensely, and we react to those feelings with an equal intensity.
Maybe a brush of anger sends you to a boiling point, or a moment of sadness causes you to immediately burst into tears.
doomscrolling sucks. make sure ur keeping ur interests outside of social media alive. <3 art, video games, watch old comfort films. anything is better than scrolling through 100s of opinions for hours
I understand most of the population of North America lives on the East, but the fact that people only start caring more about wildfires when it hits the east is so concerning🫠 but also, humans being humans, not my problem unless it’s in my backyard or whatever right

@Theholisticpsyc This is the exact thing I’m dealing with right now in my life and working on. It’s something so hard to explain to people so this is so helpful to share with people close to me. Thank you♥️
Jameela Jamil slams ‘famous feminists’ who attended the Met Gala to celebrate ‘known bigot’ Karl Lagerfeld:
“A lot of famous feminists chose to celebrate at the highest level, a man who was so publicly cruel to women, to fat people, to immigrants and sexual assault survivors.”
We Never Learn What It Means To Be Human.
Human Truths:
1. Two things can be true at once: someone can be mean when they feel threatened and also have a kind side. Someone can be very selfish at times, and be quite generous at other times. Rarely are people all good or all bad.
2. None of us have it figured out: we don't know what we're doing. We're all doing the best we can based on what we know. Even the people you think have it figured out, don't.
3. We've all hurt people: sometimes unintentionally. We've all done things we regret. Human perfection is an illusion.
4. It's rarely personal: most of our behaviors are survival based: our brain and nervous system have one core motivation, to survive. Our behaviors reflect our past adaptations and internal emotional state.
5. We're incredibly resilient: human beings are gifted adapters. In any environment and will learn quickly (subconsciously) learn to survive. Use this to your advantage.
6. We can do so much more than we think: we're conditioned to see ourselves as less than capable, but the human spirit transcends limitation. It's typically our mind and core beliefs that hold us back from the truth of who we are.
7. We all have blind spots: thanks to our ego, we all have parts of ourselves we can't see. We're more fragile emotionally than we like to admit, and that's ok.
8. When we're threatened, we go into defense mode: picture a scared, dog cornered. They growl and bark signaling "don't come near me." Humans do the same thing when we feel threatened. We deflect, defend, push people away, and shut down.
9. We all want to belong: our core need at birth is attachment. We are born to belong. We all want to find places where we are seen and valued. Without it we easily display signs of "mental illness."
10. The more we fear vulnerability, the more 'tough' we want to appear: bypassing pain, trauma, or wanting to appear strong comes from learning that vulnerability is a weakness.
