I’m sober, and am confident I’ll stay that way, but otherwise I’m a ball of nerves. Stress eating Oreos as I type this.

That’s huge! Oreo away. (It’s leftover Halloween candy for me.)

Yeah. it’s hard not to feel so worn down by it all. and somehow, there’s still more to come. One day at a time. ❤️

I continue to reflect on how terrible I felt being hungover everyday. And adding that feeling to the current events would make life so much harder and more stressful. So thankful to wake up sober these days.

Did anyone here get sober and discover they were potentially self medicating symptoms of a neurodivergent brain? Ever since I got sober, I’ve have had MORE issues with executive functioning, racing brain, inability to focus. This was unexpected, as I thought I’d have more mental agility due to the fog lifting. Now my brain is running at full speed but I am unable to harness it. My brain is a honey badger. It doesn’t GAF.
Anyway, I’m now scheduled for an ADHD eval at the urging of my therapist.
