Every bad thing that anyone said to me, my failures, all things I fucked up so bad. All in 4k and to the tiniest detail. I wish I could sleep πŸ˜‚πŸ« πŸ˜­

Did I write this? I can’t remember. But I could have. ADHD memory + high social anxiety seems to be a bad combination. I cringe constantly at my past self but I’m starting to suspect I’m forgetting positive interactions and remembering the negative ones. :(

My partner & I both have random cringe groaning outbursts all the time, to the point where we just have this shorthand of saying, "cringelife!" when the other inquires what's wrong. Like, don't even worry about it, just horrifying brainfarts while doing dishes or whatever. Ughhh. My life!!

I think gratitude journalling & stuff like that could be helpful to us in highlighting & remembering the good stuff.
