Forgetting and losing things, made me feel really dumb. Defending and proving things, made me feel really numb.
The shame that I felt being AuDHD, that I numbed and suppressed for years to not see, has come up again for more layers of releasing. I dreamed my graduation would not be proceeding.
It’s the hardest to stay with, to feel unconscious shame. There’s no other feeling that hits you the same. It hurts like a gut punch to feel so exposed. You can’t answer back or defend against blows.
But after this dream still feeling this shame I woke up and felt it along with my blame. Then after I cried like a little lost child. Then I could remember what I couldn’t find.
I graduated early, 6 months in advance. I had the second best grades in my class. I then, first was a nurse, then, finally a mother. My ultimate goal ahead of all others.
To raise my own children in a whole different way. To love and protect them and make them feel safe. I spent 24 years devoted to this. And healing myself from all that I missed.
Still we’re all on the spectrum or ADHD. Finding strength being different supports getting free, from the shame I forgot, I thought lost, left behind, when all is released, I’ll remember, and find.
