ADHD is Wolf’s primary diagnosis. We are becoming better versed with this. He is well-versed in it. I am working on it. ‘Doesn’t it make sense that Rusty has ADD given the following: her father has not been formally diagnosed with ADHD. Yet he has the same classic symptoms I have, so it is logicalContinue reading “ADD, Nature and Nurture, C-PTSD”

My 30 Day Challenge, Day 2
Off to a good start, I am. What to write about, today? I have consistently read and heard – Just write. It is the practice and the habit of writing one really is seeking. True, I guess. So I will write about what I have been thinking about. Last night, I went to see aContinue reading “My 30 Day Challenge, Day 2”
On the road, wandering, again.
Who has the right? Or am I in the wrong!
Finally, I have stopped lying to myself, with the supportive challenge “it” assistance from my therapist. What lie is this one? The one where I believed my shame, humiliation, self-stigma, self-loathing and pain are the primary reason I struggle with talking to my aunt.
Stagnation, Stagnant and Me
Dear Diary, Clearly today is not my best mood. The weather is amazingly beautiful today. (I admit, given the number of storms we have had recently, this does NOT take require a lot. Sunny and few, if any clouds. And in the 30s!!!!!) Yet, I cannot go out to enjoy it. We are stuck inContinue reading “Stagnation, Stagnant and Me”
Disenfranchised
Today’s takeaway from psychotherapy. We covered skills and coping as well. Perhaps, when recognizing one’s own disenfranchisement, this is healthy, even normal. I suppose, Diary. I could be a disenchanted participant. What good what that really do? Truthfully, though, I am a little. Jaded as well. Welcome to a healthy amount of numbing oneself toContinue reading “Disenfranchised”
A Great Question. Maybe.
My medication management provider, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, just asked me a question. She does not know what made her think of it. The question? If Wolf and I were not together, would each of us be living in the truck, or, would we be elsewhere? Whoa. Wow. Hm. Um. Wolf, possibly. Probably, couch surfingContinue reading “A Great Question. Maybe.”
Some things do not change
Even during a national emergency, in a global pandemic and I, for one, find a funny comfort in that. Albeit, that funny comfort pertains to a demoralizing and frustratingly humiliating appointment, that is, simply, par for the course when applying for SSDI or SSI. Seeing a Social Security Administration doctor A little while ago, Wolf’sContinue reading “Some things do not change”
We struggle with … repetitiveness
Each for different reasons. Likely, no shock there. For Wolf, it is a trigger. How is it a trigger? It reminds Wolf of his father’s relentless questioning every time he left. For years. That relentlessness can wear on a person. It did upon Wolf. As for me, it became so repetitive for me to repeatContinue reading “We struggle with … repetitiveness”
