Someone close to me said it’s time I stopped feeling upset about being bullied, shamed, and humiliated at school for being autistic and ADHD
Maybe they meant well. But it reminded me how often we’re told it’s not okay to have feelings about the way we’re treated
The truth is, this stuff runs deep

Your feelings are valid
Your past matters
Healing isn’t about “getting over it”
It’s about being allowed to feel, and finding safe places to be your full, authentic self
Like you said it’s not gonna be on anybody else’s schedule but our own
I wish it went faster. I wish I didn’t still hold so much grief. Believe me, I’d love to be free. Even more than they do. I need to be kind and patient with myself.
