And now I'm poor.

Just make sure you're kind to yourself. That's enough and basically all you can do. Being kind to yourself in all kinds of ways. ❤️

Welcome back! Definitely missed you. ❤️

Grief can be an incredibly overwhelming experience. It's hard as hell. Completely understandable you isolated yourself. Sure, it's probz not the healthiest thing, but sometimes just inevitable. Glad to see you starting to come back from it though. Sending hugs

Oh, I can imagine that's not easy to forgive 😅 Extra kudos to the show then. It had been a while since a show pulled me in completely. Great stuff.

Yes, fully agree. Amazing show.

Honestly, I don't think that's possible anymore. I just hope my wife can find a way to be okay with the situation as it is. I'll be A okay on my own at home, under a blanket on the sofa with Sepp and the cats. ❤️

Yes, that's basically what I did last year. Making myself ill from anxiety beforehand. I want to prevent that this time. It's indeed my wife's family, but having her explain it properly is quite an issue. She struggles a lot with that, so I don't want to force her.

Thank you and sending hugs. I just want to stay at home with my pets, who actually make me feel safe and happy. I can't trust the fam to be a safe place for me. They've proven they're not on multiple occasions. I need repeated proof of safety before I'll ever step back in. But what to tell them 😅

Yeah, no. I am not going to do that. I understand my story and issues makes them uncomfortable. But if they can't or won't put that aside to support me in the slightest, why the hell should I go and destroy myself in discomfort for a holiday I don't want to celebrate anyway? Like, no. Just no. 4/4

And after diagnosis still absolutely nothing. I don't see any effort from anyone to actually try and support me on this difficult journey. And I'm supposed to act all "happy family" at Christmas? A holiday like that is intense enough as it is for me. Both from AuDHD and CPTSD viewpoint. 3/4

For years I've been trying to share video's and articles to explain how and why I struggle with things. Even before my AuDHD diagnosis. I've sent entire YouTube playlists. Nobody has ever come back to me about a single thing. 2 years ago I even had a huge meltdown with some of them about that. 2/4

Mind you, she's small but fierce. The smallest in the house and yet the only pet in this household that requires 4 human hands to get the job done. Even traumatised Sepp is easier. 😅

I feel you 😂 I took pictures with the singer of one of my fav bands last week that will never ever be posted 😂 I don't mind freaking out, but why can't we ever do it while looking good?! 😭

There's no possible way to overreact to that happening! OMG.
