Y'all, sometimes it’s not your trauma or the disorder or the way you process information. Sometimes you’re just in the wrong and you could have behaved better. Sometimes you’re just a dickhead and you gotta recognize it and own it.
Knowing the difference is tough, but it really does help you on the road to recovery or on the road to managing your symptoms. Taking the time to recognize that in myself helps me know when I can give more or when I really do need help and understanding. Sometimes we are just assholes and that’s when you gotta go “I’m sorry, what can I do moving forward?” And in that asking? You get to explain where you need help.
