This week it’s sharing stories. I’d like to invite you to share a time of difficult mental health; past or present, yours or someone else’s. We know there was a stigma to sharing, but the fediverse is open, caring, and listening and it’s 2024

    Overthinking is what I got diagnosed with odc over. I learned to use it as a weapon.

    Channeling that twisted single mindedness to something good.

    Gor me it was hyperfocused on the negative and redirecting it to passing all my uni exams and then work.

    I still have bad periods but I try to use that energy to help my situation these days

    Every minute I don’t delete that lot I’m taking as a win

        It’s a skill that needs practice that’s for sure. Works really well for project work. Sadly I don’t get that kind of work any more
