As I was reading this I felt a lot of the talk of avoidance resonating with me. I have over the years felt like I didn't know how to show up for my life, because I didn't understand the things I found difficult, now with having my autism diagnosis as well as my adhd diagnosis, reading this post made me realise that it's time, time to start figuring out how I show up for my own life too.
I always appreciate the realness and raw honesty you write with Jamie, and thank you for the inspiration in dealing with my own avoidance. I wish you all the best with everything going forward Jamie, and you'll always have my support here too.
Weirdly appropriate that this is the first post I've read in quite a while (i got behind on reading and didn't know how to come back). Also possibly appropriate that I'm reading this while avoiding life responsibilities. Thank you for pushing yourself to write, and thank you for pushing me to stop just sitting here, avoiding. I, too, want to learn to show up for life, instead of getting upset when i fast forward and i still haven't moved.
