@Knickatknite you know you right? What you read these comments and what people are going through or read the information pieces and research postings... do you not see yourself?
It's too much labeling but society needs to label you to know how to so call "judge" you. It's just a common theme. They say ADHD with OCD ... in my understanding is like me rolling 2 dice. I know my original diagnoses which are not complicated by OCD behaviors that has developed more overtime. They have always been there (I guess) just now more exacerbated. The severity is well you control your stressors, anxieties, your highs and lows - if you have those.
The entire things is MINDFULNESS, controlling bad habits controls the symptoms. Coaching and training gives you the skills, the how's and when's to practice. Therapy helps you face what you think you are afraid of. Look at it head on, most of the time it's you, whoever that person you see in the mirror.
Some people do not like change which males them afraid to grow, to grow up. Because growing up mean you have more responsibilities that are sole you, some people can't face that and have a hard time accepting.
I understand uncertainty gives you a sense of fear. When people say my anxieties is because I am afraid or they ask me what am I afraid of, I it makes me upset. Why? Because I am not afraid of no one. But
It doesn't have to be a fear of a person. My fight of fight heightens when I can not determine my safety, the uncertainty of that make me go into a protective mode. I do not know about the looping... if I do that, I do that on the run. And when I use that term, I mean doing everything to unsure my safety and whomever is in my presence. I feel responsible for people as well.
I am not a go pick a fight person, I am just a person who will just to keep a person from being hurt or walking into harm. Now... I'm not a Savior. if you want the danger, invites, that is on you.
Just like one of my Besties in that dark whole, I'm willing to help you come out if you want to. But if I tell you I don't want to come down in YOUR DARK HOLE because it makes me too feel like shit! Then respect that. I'll be back... I just have to go handle some lifing things, but I'll be back to check on you. Right now I have handle me.
It goes the same for those that invites and want the danger, okay... I'll be over here in the corner, just in case. But if I think you are about to be real stupid, I am out. I'm leaving. Call me later.
I talk about different things because I seen a lot of things. And before I could even understand myself, I was trying to understand WHY? I would be around things, observe things, see things that I probably should not have all because I was trying to understand life and people at a very young age without real guidance. I'm just blessed because my walk could have been so much more worse. My GUARDIANS left by my mother of even more protective then myself. 😀
But it is very important to know YOURSELF. To know what you are and are not capable of. If you can be easily persuaded or not. Who do you trust the most apart from your Most Hoghest Power, if you believe in that? Would you trust them or you ? Who is them, idk, whoever them are to you.
Being optimistic with your Therapist and try. That's all you can do is look at YOU from a different perspective. But IF, if because some don't, IF you know yourself, you can easily see yourself without a label. But if you need the label work the process.
I am not a mental health PhD person, but I have years of experience with it and that is not speaking of myself. I don't know anything though, I only know it when I see it.
