Overwhelmed and overstimulated
Show your support
I separated from my children father in December and have been living in a shelter ever since. Almost every day feels lonely with the things I have to manage and figure out. But you have to give yourself grace and allow the room to breathe. Otherwise you will stretch yourself thin. If you are strong and capable of maintaining so much at once, I am sure you’re capable of grabbing Audhd by the balls. Thank you for being brave and posting this, it’s not easy to be vulnerable and real. I respect you so much and your family is blessed to have you.
@Lana thank you for your kind words. I don't know if I'm noticing my audhd symptoms more due to perimenopause. Or because I mask my anxiety it's me and I then get overwhelmed after. I sometimes feel like my body is backwards lol. But deep down I think I'm coping in the real world come home to my safe place where the mask comes off. It seems to happen more and more.its nice to know I'm not alone. 😊
When i say my body's backwards I cope with things then later I have a reaction. Like feeling overwhelmed by life. Hope that makes sense
Hi! Thank you for sharing this. I am sorry that most days feel this way for you and it could feel like you’re facing it alone. I just hope you know you’re not alone with the feeling and experience. I have recently been finding it challenging to cope with overwhelm myself. Which lately I just had enough with the feeling. Sometimes I sign up for so much at a time while already having to care to my responsibilities and more often than not overwhelm starts creeping up. And when it takes full control I have days I am easily irritated with or crying to much to show up. I now am learning cues of when I am starting to feel overwhelmed so I can pause and figure out why. Other times I try to take my alone time for a moment of sadness, journaling or just not doing anything because really we are juggling too much at a time and we need to relax.
