The question is always: does it impede a “normal” life and is anyone constantly suffering?

I thought my so called issues were perfectly manageable until I got my second child.

I described it in a different post as being stuck in development.

Remaining a child in many ways, and constantly fighting overwhelming emotions or, almost worse, non at all.

I decided I couldn’t keep doing what I was doing, and it’s been a struggle ever since.

Mostly I make it work, but my partner might have a word or two about these things:

Going to the grocery store with a long list of items, only to be overwhelmed by the astounding number of types of coffee.

Spending 45 minutes looking online for anything regarding beans and grounds. Fascinating stuff! Animals eating from the trees and pooing the beans out?! Wow.

Leaving after one hour with a bag of potatoes — cause’ couldn't handle it.

You can probably see that if this is a repeating pattern someone’s bound to suffer.

Anxiety is just around the corner with depression right behind it, stemming from these issues.
