If you have ADHD, learn about limerence.
It is an intense, involuntary fixation on someone that can feel exactly like extraordinary love. You think about them constantly, crave their reciprocation, and gradually begin organising your emotional world around their presence.

When someone gives you important feedback about the quality of your work, you’ll be tempted to lash out and defend yourself. Don’t fall for it. Fight that impulse and hear them out.

Psychologically, criticism can feel like a threat to the self, particularly when we have invested our identity in what we create. We can mistake “this could be better” for “you are not good enough,” and suddenly we are defending our worth rather than examining the work.

Keep showing up for that thing you believe in. You showed up yesterday; show up again today. Every time you do, you increase your surface area for luck.

If you’re new here, welcome. I’m Dedoyin, an integrative psychotherapist. I lost my previous account at 54,000 followers, so I’m rebuilding this little corner of the internet from scratch.
If thoughtful and practical mental health conversations are your thing, stay around.

Please note that people without ADHD can experience limerence too. It’s just more intense and common with ADHDers. If you recognise the pattern in yourself, the label is secondary to understanding what is actually happening.

One of the more dangerous misconceptions about a healthy relationship is the belief that everything is fine simply because neither person is saying what they are genuinely thinking or feeling. It’s a ticking time bomb.

I saw this post by @busayo__joan and decided to expatiate on the subject. You’ll find it valuable.

Today is here. Another opportunity to become more of who we are capable of being, and to move towards whatever greatness means to us.

As a Black woman, I am deeply uninterested in spending the second half of my life proving how much I can endure.
I would like to explore how much joy I can hold.

Nothing is as mentally demanding as standing your ground for what you believe in. It sounds easy on paper, but the truth is that people will resist you with everything they’ve got, when what the path you have chosen for your life does not align with their conception of reality.

You will have to take the stand again when they question you. Again when they misunderstand you. Again when they try to make you feel selfish for choosing yourself. Again when their disapproval makes you doubt what you knew before they spoke.
