This past week in therapy, my therapist and I were talking about intrusive thoughts, anxiety, worry, and adhd. I explained to her an example of something challenging that I had been dealing with that morning.

My lovely therapist said, “Brigitte, that’s textbook ADHD.” She then opened up the DSM and read me the characteristics of ADHD.

My doctor at my therapist's office asked me three things I was proud of today. I laughed nervously. Three?! You want three?? I think I can come up with one but do you really need two more? She said yes- that she'd barely been talking to me for 15 minutes and could already list 5 things I could mention. I'm thinking heck, why is this so hard? Why can't I see these things in myself that other people can?

I tend to ruminate. I go over and over the same situation. Again and again. Analyzing my actions and words. Sure, this is ok to do maybe once, so I can pick out any lessons learned to take with me into the rest of my life... but the part where I keep mentally beating myself up repeatedly AFTER I've already realized the lessons, is the unhealthy part that is not serving me or my highest good.
