My functioning disabilities ARE NOT personality flaws.

TopSkills Thursday: Part 4

This week, in the executive dysfunction series, we’ll look more closely at an important area, managing finances. As always, these are ideas, and they may not work for you. Hopefully, they’ll spark some thoughts of your own. Whichever is the case, I hope you’ll at least be inspired to continue your search for solutions. Financial management is a hard topic to write about. Lest anyone think I…

Poorly functioning is still functioning bitch

Signs Of High Functioning Depression

Depression is not always easy to spot.  People with high functioning depression may appear to be successful & happy on the outside, but inside they are struggling with a constant battle against negative thoughts & emotions.  This type of depression is sometimes referred to as smiling depression, as individuals may appear to be “very together” but are struggling on the inside.  One of the most…

There is a unique misery in feeling “Slightly Bad.”

When you feel good, well, you feel good. Things get done, everything is happy.

When you’re feeling awful, well, that’s that. You’re awful, everything is pain. If you have to do stuff, it’s agony. All you can really do is collapse and wait for things to stop.

But “Slightly Bad”? Several steps up from what you’re used to being your “Awful,” but definitely enough to impact you?

You don’t want to do stuff, you want to just collapse. But when you collapse, you feel better, so you want to go do stuff because, well, you can.

You remind yourself it could be so much worse, you need to suck it up and get stuff done.

But even if that’s true, you still feel bad. That is a reality. It’a not a failure to want to nurse that, even if you’ve “survived so much worse.”

Couple that with the times you want to do something, and you are so close to having everything lined up to be able to, and this irritating niggle of “Slightly Bad” keeps bopping you on the ear like an ignored toddler…

being blurry and not being able to function

I just broke up with my therapist and am on a waitlist for another therapist in the same practice.

My therapist was really great - she was the first therapist I'd ever had who specialized in narcissistic abuse. She is helping me find a better fit elsewhere. I need to talk to someone who serves a neurodivergent population (in addition to being LGBTQIA+ affirming and versed in trauma and such).

I have felt frustrated because I think that I have never received support for my late-diagnosed autism.

I need autistic support... in addition to trauma support.

To be quite honest, in my personal life experience, I think my autism and ADHD are at the roots of my childhood abuse, school bullying, constant cycles of burnout, and tendency to be in narcissistic relationships (well, in addition to me being primed for being a codependent due to how my parents have treated me - it is no secret that most people's attachment traumas and codependency come from how they've been shown love and support as a child - I was groomed to be prime narcissistic supply!)

realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"
