BANG… right there… can I get an amen…
I’ve been insulated from a lot of my families life. It is really blowing me away to see what’s been happening around me that I never knew about because I was so insulated.
I’d say the best way to combat this is to get better and stronger and little by little show them how you can handle more and more.
Yeah I am a pretty fragile person - in the fact that I worry and fear a lot of different things. My vivid imagination - OCD - anxiety works against me. My anticipatory anxiety is pretty intense, always worrying or fearful especially of the unknown or unfamiliar. I guess I can probably handle a lot more than I think - its just that I am super senstive to a lot of my surroundings
yeah, i’ve been trying to show my family what i am capable of when i can and when i can’t i tell them that it is too much for me just now and that i can’t handle certain things, its just all about being honest and telling them ‘i can do this’ or ‘i can’t do that’ do you know what i mean,
the worst thing i have found is when you get pushed or forced in to doing things, i hate that but sometimes i just bite the bullet and try and do it anyway and sometimes it gets easier as well.
like i use to hate going out to the shop but i went anyway bc i had the dog with me and i wanted to do something to help, so i was killing two birds with one stone, the dog made me feel safe somehow, now i can go to the shop without the dog and i can take the dog for a nice walk or a run myself, maybe it is meds related or maybe it is perseverance but whatever it is, it has worked, could be other things as well but who knows.
