(He/him)
I'm 55 years old-ADHD and likely AuHD, and also a very silly and caring person. I'm in therapy-working on childhood trauma (and trauma since then), but I'm seeing progress, finally. In the course of that progress, I'm starting to break free from self imposed isolation. I've had a difficult life but for now I want to focus on the positives-the tougher stuff for me I'll gladly share with anyone who might be curious.
What I Hope to Share
I’m hoping that there’s something I could share that might help someone else. I have lived a very lifey life, but things are in general looking up for me. I’m here to practice being myself around strangers, and also to find community among folks with similar life experiences. It can be hard opening up, but the more work I put in the better the feeling for me.
What Brought Me to ShareWell
I’m looking for ways to gently disrupt my life safely; I've been stuck long enough. The work I've been doing in therapy has uncovered some deep loneliness that I wasn't allowing myself to feel previously-this is a way I can feel less alone. I discovered that I'm not actually an introvert-it was just a habit I had gotten into-I am more of an ambivert, and as such I actually need connection that I had been avoiding..
