People say it’s a strength or a gift but I can’t relate to that. It makes my life HELL to forget everything all the time, the constant grinding and inability to calm down, burning myself, breaking things, etc. People say it’s society the problem, not us. But I don’t agree, all these things I’m struggling with would be there with me even if I lived in the jungle.

I think it’s both at the same time. I call it my double edged sword. It’s the other side of my gifts that’s made even worse by living in a neurotypical world. Finding tools that effectively help me manage is making a huge difference in my daily life. I’m a big fan of DBT at the moment although check back in 2 weeks to see if I’m still applying it after the shiny wears off 🤣
Can‘t hear that „superpower“ stuff anymore 🙈
