I have different ”lonleiness laments.” One is my, ”I'm bad, embarrassing and broken.” Second, is, ”life long inability developing long term friendships; which just make me sad, oh, and self-deprecating.” The third is all about shame and embarrassment. In this reality, I am faced with my family's discordant understanding of which of my ADD behaviors I should be controlling at the moment; as if the word control is in my ADD vocabulary.
The one simple reality is that we are all alone. The loneliness is palpable when our family and friends understand that we are doing the best we can to mitigate our impactful behaviors. The emotional impact of “familia” rejection is brutal, emotionally, and includes, shame, embarrassment, desires for self isolation, self despairingly thoughts.
But hey, ADD knocks me down, I pop right back up, with just a little scaring.
Resilience, is vital. Emotional, physical, and relationship resilience can be developed.
I have to be believe that, “us ADD’ers” are already resilient in many ways, hell we got to here.
