Living with Ourselves

[Adge]

My Post Above (my Last Post) took me over 1 hour (more than 60 minutes) to type/ Compose.

This you would understand, as you've said that you have experienced similar yourself.

That is why Text-Based Communication (Including Online Texting) Does Not Work for Me - At least not when I'm Overwhelmed or experiencing Dissociation.

Add to that Dyslexia (as well) - Even though I am a Trained Touch-Typist (Clerical Certificate & Business College).

I could have explained all of the above Post (to someone) In Person Verbally - In about 30 Seconds to 1 minute.

Kind Regards,

Adge

I understand only  too well @Adge 

I feel overwhelmed myself when I put so much emotion and effort in responding only to find that there have been 5 other replies in the meantime..

my response not flowing...standing out as weird

I sometimes am left feeling that I should not have replied..

I retreat back here..

I have just messed up again...

This does not work that well for me either.

Then follows criticism or people offended when all I have tried to do is support their ideas and add mine..

I was unaware that you had dyslexia

You communicate well when you talk to individuals..

I think that you and I are better at one to one discussions possibly rather than group information discussions..

Short chat is different I see that you do very well there Adge..

Perhaps I have this all wrong also..

I hope that you have a better day today and that I do also.

I have an audiologist appointment....

fingers crossed..

the medical world just does not get me

as does most of the rest of the world..

take care

Hi @Adge,

I'm so sorry to hear of the challenges you faced in regards to employment, your exhaustion and feelings of overwhelm are completely understandable. I hope you feel supported here knowing you are not alone in your experiences.

This thread may be worth taking a look at STIGMA IN MENTAL HEALTH-STILL ALIVE??? , I believe it is the one that @Sophia1 was referring to? Please let me know if it isn't @Sophia1

Thank you for bringing this to my attention @Anastasia 

Here with you all

Wish I could reply properly @Sophia1 

My mind is all over the place lately. Too many things to think about. 
How was your day? 🌸🌺

This is how much energy I have

[Former-Member]

Sorry to hear that. Me too. Some days are very draining. Do you want to talk about it or just have a pretend cuppa. @Sophia1
