I'm so close but it hurts
I'm almost there, almost to getting medication. My first proper therapy appointment is May 1st
I wish I had it now, I'm so tired of this dumb brain disease. I just want any sort of relief. I wish I was desperate enough to drink alcohol or smoke, but I'm too responsible
I just spiral till I get overwhelmed and call or talk to someone. I'm so tired, but my brain won't turn off. I'm so hungry, but everything I can eat is so boring. I'm so lonely, but I mess up a lot, and fear losing people, my anxious attachment style hurts so much. I'm anxious, and overthink almost everything. I'm so depressed because my brain is understimulated
I'm nearly there, the light is so close, and I have such a long road ahead of me. So stuck in my own head about everything and it hurts

I am so proud of you for holding on and being so responsible, even when your brain is making everything feel impossibly loud and heavy.
You are incredibly close to May 1st, and it makes total sense that you are exhausted and just want relief, but look at what you’ve achieved by navigating this far on your own. It takes immense strength to deal with that level of under stimulation and overthinking.
7 cups is right here to listen whenever you need to spiral or just feel lonely, through the Sharing Circles, Member Support Group, or by contacting a Listener who will listen to you non-judgmentally, and who knows, possibly even have some experience with navigating ADHD.
This intense, painful, “stuck” feeling is exactly what the appointment is going to help address, so please try to take it just one hour at a time, treat yourself with kindness for having a brain that works differently, and remember that 7 cups is not going anywhere, so you are not in this alone.
Love and Courage,
Calm Rosebud 🕊️🌹
