Fairly recently I thought back to when I was doing all the things, walking fully in my purpose, doing the thing I love the most. And then it ended. But what changed?
I’d been asking myself that for so many years, while simultaneously just doing the best I could with where I am now. And then one day, I counted back and realized that a major traumatic experience took place that same year when I was thriving and shining. And I’ve been just dealing with the fallout and doing my usual Energizer Bunny thing. I just kept going and going and going. There’s no time for healing when you’re a single parent (most of the time). When you’re simultaneously dealing with back to back blows and trauma, while raising a child solo, who can really stop and heal for real?
I’ve been in therapy on and off for years, but never about that stuff. I had to deal with the present. And what I now see is that the one MAJOR event that I blocked out has had me running alongside the tracks of my life, trying to still get there, but working real hard with little results. The ADHD thing is definitely involved. And there are some other things that are definitely involved. But the main thing… the real thing…. is that THAT thing derailed me. And I am honestly just now realizing, I never got back on the tracks. So I guess I gotta figure out how to heal that thing. And recognizing it is a huge step in getting there.
