🧶This was an incredibly difficult, but certainly pivotal year for me. Anything you related to❓️
I also am starting a RUclips channel this year about quilting, crochet, sewing, and knitting.
I am also going to see my doctor about an ADD/ADHD diagnosis because all those memes about ADHD I fit almost all of them. My thoughts feel like I am trying to make a swarm of bees fly in a straight line sometimes.
I can relate to a lot of what you are talking about. I want to save all the dogs and cats too🙂
Congrats on your personal growth.
Thank you 💜. It was a big year even if it was uncomfortable a lot of times.
I appreciate this video 🙂
Thank you - I appreciate you hanging out! 💛
I turned 36 last year and what a year it’s been. It was the hardest year but most transformative and I am so much happier for it. Setting boundaries with people and family, recovering from postnatal depression and ADHD burn out, whilst moving around in different cities without my support network has been a doozy. I feel so much better as a result and still recovering. I feel like I can do so much more now but still knowing to be gentle on myself and kind of myself.
Yes, it has been so helpful to learn how to better care for myself.
Hey holly, I know what you mean about “ wallowing too long”; I also do that sometimes 😢
Thanks for sharing… I need to do that a little bit more. ❤️
Yeah, it's like finding balance of feeling your feelings and processing them... but not letting the feelings take over forever.
Hi again ❤ you are a lovely person to listen to and I like hearing your story and you know what , pat yourself on the back and say well done you have overcame so many obstacles- I know it had to be a lot but seriously you seem to be making positive steps (no matter how big or small) to be in a nice comfortable space both mentally and physically.
Here’s a little bit about me too and what you were talking about - I’m 39 this year and a mom to three children, two of which are diagnosed autistic, my son learned to speak through echolalia and he’s doing so well now , he’s going on 17 but it’s been let’s just say challenging at times when dealing with schools or services. My youngest daughter she’s been recently diagnosed and is non speaking - she’s 6 and doesn’t speak at all. So I’ve had to do many many forms like you because of doing so I pretty much know I would also be diagnosed autistic but I haven’t had the money , time or headspace to get myself assessed but what’s hard for me as a result is I need to advocate for my children and speak for them or stand up for them often and it really is difficult for me sometimes. Things that would be small wins for others have been huge for us to overcome.
What I will say is if that job gets too difficult to take, look for another whilst still in your job. So you don’t just go without something to go into …. And not that you should have to write that you are autistic on everything , but sometimes it helps people to be let’s say more mindful. For example a teacher took my son out of his routine the other day and then when he asked why such and such wasn’t happening she told him he was being distracting ( well! It made him spiral he was anxious about being distracting and upset for the day even into the night time)
Re : not wanting to go into a higher position- I’ve a book I think you’d love , it’s called “convenience store woman” and it’s about a woman who is just happy doing a job and people not understanding she doesn’t wish to go up a ladder because she loves her job and her routine ❤
Anyway I could write forever on this whole video , but you are fabulous and thank you for taking the time to speak and keep me company and letting us know the things you learn a long your way . ❤
Ps never let anyone take away your peace . I am now more than two years off of social media, it got too much for me . I was surrounded by “friends” pressuring me into things i really didn’t want and not being very understanding.
So I just let it all go in the end - and I know I will meet understanding truly friendly people in my life’s journey a long the way but I’ve got much better at being “alone”. At times it would have been obvious for others that these people weren’t really my friends but for me because I cared about them , the wool was placed over my eyes. I’ve had to learn to let them go. And I’ve tried my best to help my son see that because he would think everyone is his friend and then get hurt because he couldn’t see they were picking on him in the background until something really obvious and hurtful. So I am so happy for you learning to cope with loss and being brave about it because that can be so hard. ❤
Thank you so so much for sharing and your kind words as always. I'll have to see if it's at the library.
I do occasionally swing through Indeed to see if there's anything in my role type. The only thing about my job that's hard is the amount of flexibility we have. I've had other fairly flexible jobs before though so it would just be a matter of sussing it out in an interview.
@@StitchesGonnaStitch you are very welcome ! It has to be very early where you are , I live in Ireland so it’s now nearly 2pm (I apologise about the morning essay I gave you to read 😂😉) but absolutely! - I have my opinion about the fact the main man moved you - don’t know if he addressed what was happening with the other woman because it’s really not acceptable to be treating anyone like that in the workplace neurodivergent or neurotypical. I don’t know if I agree that you are the one he should of been moving , it seems he may not have dealt with the actual problem but I’m happy that you feel a lot better on the other floor regardless. id definitely continue to keep a look out for other jobs incase one does come up that would have the flexibility and you don’t have any fear of ackwardness etc and possibly be an even better fit for you.. but if it doesn’t at least you feel happier where you are x
❤
Thank you 💜
Veruy good
Thank you 💜
I am 45 so we are in the same age range. I honestly believe that our generation as girls we were taught to be nice, put up with garbage and not have boundaries.
So good job having boundaries. And your boss was doing not only you a favor but a hostile work environment is not a good place to work so it lined up with what is good for the company.
Yep. I've been told I was too nice. Then I was too mean. You really can't win.
That sweater is beautiful on you!! Is that the one you were working on recently?
Thanks, it is! I'm sad the yarn line was discontinued though.
