...See more The last couple months I've been doing therapy my therapist has been using internal family systems to help me with my trauma. Does anyone else have experience with internal family systems? I'd like to hear your stories. I can't find very many reviews on ifs. That isn't just a video on what it's about. So I'd like to hear real stories on your growth or your setbacks with it.

...See more Hey I don't post often, but I like to read people's comments insights. I'm just an introvert that doesn't like to put my voice out there often, but I am going to therapy for the first time. I'm a 31-year-old woman that has never been to therapy and I just want to know like what your experience and is there anything that like I need to keep my eye out for?

The Beauty in the storm

...See more There’s a fire in the mind that never sleeps- a restless hum beneath the deep. It burns, it leaps, it will not stay- but oh, how brightly it lights the way. They call it scattered, call it loud, a mind that wanders through the cloud. But I have seen the view up there- a thousand worlds, beyond compare. Where others see a tangled thread, I see the paths that twist instead. A sudden spark, a wild idea- the magic whispers, “You belong here.” Focus may falter, order may fade, but wonder is the art I’ve made. I feel too much, I dream too wide- and yet, that’s where my heart resides. For every thought that runs too fast, there’s one that somehow seems to last. A kindness, bright and uncontained, a courage born from being unchained. So call me storm, call me flame, call me by my truest name- not broken, not too much to be, but vivid, boundless-beautifully me.

“The Marvelous Mind of Me”

...See more There’s a whirlwind inside me that twinkles and hums, It dances and sparkles and beats like drums. It rushes through thoughts like a bumblebee spree That marvelous, magical mind inside me. Sometimes it zigzags, sometimes it zooms, It paints all my dreams in the brightest of rooms. I start with one thought—then, oops! There go three! Oh, what an adventure it is to be me. My focus is funny—it plays hide-and-seek, It hides for an hour, then shines for a week. But when I find something that fills me with glee, I dive in so deeply, I swim in the sea! I forget where I’m going, but find something new— A shortcut to Saturn! A castle! A clue! The world says “slow down,” but I’d rather see How far my ideas can take silly old me. Yes, I might be wiggly, I might be loud, But my mind wears colors instead of a shroud. It’s bursting with wonder, with lightning and glee— A beautifully different way just to be me.. So if your thoughts twirl and you can’t sit quite still, If your heart races faster than your own will— Remember, dear dreamer, that’s magic you see— The marvelous, marvelous mind— of ADHD.

Unreasonable anger

...See more Does anybody else have a problem with your anger being a domino effect what I mean by that is as soon as something makes me angry I tend to get angry at anything and everything it could be as simple as someone walking slow in front of me or just the way someone is talking when they've always talked like that. I don't know why my brain gets this way and I really hate that one thing can ruin my whole day even if I try to change my mood. If this happens to you can you let me know how you get out of the mood or any coping methods you use.
