Untreated trauma WILL turn into dementia and autoimmune disease. The body keeps score. The emotions you suppressed, the stress you normalized, the pain you never processed, it all builds up in your nervous system. And over time, it starts to break you down.
unfortunately i’m sorry to report that the most effective tools for managing adhd ARE in fact practicing mindfulness and getting off that phone. they were 100% correct and didn’t just make that up 💔
i don’t want a relationship where both of us are constantly trying to look less interested than we actually are.
i want the kind of love where affection is normal, reassurance is free, excitement is mutual, and nobody feels embarrassed for caring deeply.
i’ve never understood why we’ve made genuine love look desperate and emotional distance look attractive.
if i love you, you’ll never have to guess.
and i hope you love me that way too.
