I landed here today and completed my first task. This was off the back of a big disagreement with my adult daughter. She said some very nasty and mean things and I reacted. We are now not talking and I have had to distance myself (no contact) to protect my mental health. As an empath, it is really hard to say no, even when you want to or know it is for the best. She has tried the guilt trip, emotional blackmail over my grandsons and just plain nasty venomous comments. It has been hard to stay strong and not get too involved in the mud slinging, but I had an Autistic burnout two years ago from the same thing (I went full blown reactive that time, not proud of it) and refuse to let anything take me there again. Oh no, oversharing, my toxic trait...😂

Also let me know in the comments. Might use this info for a reband 😎 Thanks 🙏

Just did the first part of my Operating Manual and realised something. At work I get told "we have always done it this way" and I file it as proof I'm too much. Turns out the problem was never my capability, it was the compatibility. And my whole lounge, right down to the beer in the box, has been making my choices for me.

Hi I'm AuDHD and menopausal so my "laziness" has hit hard...😊
