Hi! I've been a quiet viewer for awhile and have been enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing. When you were discussing RSD, it resonated so much with me. I feel that way too. I've never been diagnosed but friends have mentioned that I could be autistic and/or adhd. I've felt like a fish out of water in so many situations and have been trying to manage the sense of rejection I feel. It's hard to be vulnerable so thank you for sharing!
Oh wow! You sound so like me. I was diagnosed Autistic at 45 (I'm 49 now) and I've been referred for an ADHD assessment. I'm highly paranoid about people talking about me, and I'm so anxious about what people think of me. I've not heard of RSD, but I can relate to it so much. I'm always happy to chat to you about Neurodivergence if you'd like to. I actually work in a SEND unit and can really relate to the children. The planner community has really helped me to accept myself and to go with my feelings. Thank you for sharing your experiences xx
Omg that’s how I feel all the time so I relate with you .. my youngest daughter says I’m a narcissist which I don’t think I am .. but glad I’m not alone feeling like this
Omg Leah, you could be talking about me. It’s so weird how we’ve only realised later in life. I’ve never had anxiety either till I was 50. I also know I talk over people and hate myself for it. I also start things impulsively then never finish them. I haven’t been diagnosed and can’t bring myself to go to the GP. They’ll probably ask how I’ve only realised now and I can’t be bothered with all of that. Also, if someone doesn’t contact me for a while I get paranoid and overthink it to the point of breaking everything down that we last said to each other. You aren’t boring dafty lol.
Oh so much of this resonated with me! I have friends ive had for decades and i still question if they actually like me... I also once nearly left a bday party for me in my own house cos I suddenly felt noone needed me there...🤦🏻♀️ Anxiety can get worse with perimenopause too, one of its many delights! I had not heard that about magnesium before tho, def will be looking into that!!
Oh penfriend I know exactly what you mean about the paranoia, feeling like people are merely tolerating you (even your closest friends). Especially when you've had in the past had friends who have told you you're annoying, too loud, needy, etc. Thanks medication at the time for making me actually not myself. In my 40s and from my mid 30s I was finally figuring out some stuff that just made so much sense. My friends I'm close with now understand things about themselves and about me and shockingly, tell me often that I'm appreciated, loved and wanted. Still doesn't stop me from having a moment of feeling like I'm an awkward teenager again when a group of people I don't know near me all burst into laugher.
I will have to read up on RSD, oh and I’m in my 60’s and still learning new things about myself… I’m the one that hesitates to text - why would they want to hear from me - I’m working on it

It's through my daughters diagnosis that I have identified things in myself. It has been an eye opener. We are a neurospicy family and we love it.
@@the_leah_way neurospicy is wonderful ❤️
Thank you for the quality of your work! Watching is a dessert treat of stickers 😊.

I definitely have ADHD - the inattentive kind, when I was a child they called it daydreaming… but it impacts so much more
I have been using Doom bags for a long time and didn’t know they were called that 🤣
I will have to read up on RSD, oh and I’m in my 60’s and still learning new things about myself… I’m the one that hesitates to text - why would they want to hear from me - I’m working on it
Even with the two of us and no kids in the house anymore we do three to five loads a week
What kind of dogs?
