Now you know what you need and… you can’t give it to yourself

I still get stuck here sometimes, but I have to say this got better for me with age and effort (as in, introspection, therapy, etc). I recognized that for me, it was partially executive dysfunction and partially trauma symptoms. The former was addressed with medicine and creating systems (which i would not be able to do without the medicine), and the latter is still being addressed and will probably be a lifelong journey.

Sorry, I'm rambling here - what you said brought up a lot.

Don't worry about it. I appreciate your ramble :)

It helps to get thoughts out and it helps other people to hear those thoughts; especially if those thoughts echo their own. What you're saying is my reality too.

It helps to feel seen.

Hell yes. Thank you.
