I’m adopted and I have adhd. I felt different and inferior because of my adoption and adhd. But that didn’t stop me. College was challenging because I found it hard to focus. The pandemic was challenging because I had just broken off with my boyfriend. Directly after that, I started my self-love journey. I started thinking about how I could make myself better. I started setting boundaries in my family. That’s when I felt the gaslighting, manipulation, and unhealthy boundaries were occurring. It wasn’t until YouTube psych2go taught me about healthy boundaries and forms of manipulation that I started getting my life on the right track. I found that my mother had similar traits to narcissistic personality disorder, so we worked together to get rid of guilt tripping, shaming, lying, threatening, etc. I’m now on my loving world journey, specifically the step where I have worked a lot on myself and have something to give back to the world.
