'ADHD makes me nervous I’ll screw up in situations when I can’t rely on my brain. Anxiety picks up steam and becomes a beast of its own, making me nervous without any valid reason and all the time.'
This is an important caveat: Avoid reading anything that makes you feel you have to do anything. Now is not the time to implement strategies or toanything. That requires cognitive juice and you have NONE. You’re in crisis and folks in crises don’t need MORE ; they need to feel not alone.
My ADHD and anxiety spirals are largely invisible. If anything shows on the outside, it’s probably my running around in circles getting nothing done, tightening my grip on everything in an effort to control it, losing my sense of humor because I’m not quick enough, and socially acting awkward since my mind is so blank and I’m having such difficulty following the pace of conversation. That’s just the outside.
There’s a reason I specify to keep the number you share with down: Not everyone is a) as nonjudgmental, curious, supportive, and as patient as your FDP nor b) equipped to handle or understand conversations around mental health.Even when I am at steady baseline, I make sure to bubble wrap myself with loads of self-care.
Here’s what I mean: I walk one-tenth the speed my body and mind say I should, like I’ve got all the time in the world. Even though my muscles are tense as hell, I sit and stand in a leisurely posture – flopping my arms and legs around haphazardly like I don’t have a care in the world. I even force myself to be sloppy with time and belongings, loosening up despite how tightly it feels I need to hold on. I grab the first thing in my drawers to wear, instead of trying to work at matching something.
