This week it's sharing stories. I'd like to invite you to share a time of difficult mental health; past or present, yours or someone else's. We know there was a stigma to sharing, but the fediverse is open, caring, and listening and it's 2024

You had a lot to say and it's good that you can talk about it. You sound like you have a clearer idea of how you want things to go and ways on how you can manage that and thats to be applauded. Be proud of yourself and how far you've come!

Been thinking since the subject came up.

It's wierd I'm glad I threw it out there and can see the progress but I have been sitting myself since I hit send

Sitting yourself gives you time to think and over think.

Stupid autocorrect 🤪 let's just say I didn't say sitting but yes your right

I wasn't sure and didn't want to assume!!!

I'm a worrier and over thinker so I would be the same!! Thats probably why my post isn't as detailed!!!

Overthinking is what I got diagnosed with odc over. I learned to use it as a weapon.

Channeling that twisted single mindedness to something good.

Gor me it was hyperfocused on the negative and redirecting it to passing all my uni exams and then work.

I still have bad periods but I try to use that energy to help my situation these days

Every minute I don't delete that lot I'm taking as a win

That sounds like a great way to channel your over thinking energy!! Wish I could do that!!!

It's a skill that needs practice that's for sure. Works really well for project work. Sadly I don't get that kind of work any more
