The Things Beneath the Thing

Lately I've been reminded that trauma rarely lives in one moment. It weaves itself through years of experiences, attaching itself to people, words, memories, and feelings we don't even realize are connected. This week, my brain decided it was finally time to show me a few of those connections, and as uncomfortable as that was, I couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

I am speaking on a panel for women's professional development, and I feel weird about it. I don't really feel like a woman. Am I supposed to?

Usually I don't care, but occasionally I get in my head about gender. My therapist thinks I'm experiencing autistic burnout. Maybe it's related.

ADHD Women โค๏ธ
Beneath the bubbly, capable exterior โ€” there's a lifetime of anxiety she's learned to hide perfectly.
People see the made bed, the promotion, dinner on the table.
They see a superwoman.
What they don't see is the crash that came after.
"High-functioning" just means she got very good at hiding.

I KNOW I'm hyperfixating on frogs and frog figurines and I'll get bored of them soon.

But the other part of me is convinced that my collection of frog figurines has only just begun, and this will be a lifelong interest.
