Making life adjustments positively

Semi-personal post but… We sort of knew for a bit that our daughter had some things that weren’t entirely normal. We finally decided to go get some tests ran and it’s turns out that she might have some type of autism or neuro-divergence. This isn’t surprising as I’ve always known that I had some things as a kid that we never got to check out due to our financial situations. After a long zoom call and a few hours of paperwork, our next 2-3 months are filled with doctor appointments and occupational & speech therapy appointments for her. Now, we have no issue with her being neuro-divergent or even autistic, but if I’m being super honest my initial thought was how this was going to throw off our routine and systems and plans and I had to stop myself and go ??? BRO ??? How wonderful is it that she’s going to get the help I never got!!! How amazing is it that I turned out fine without help; imagine how much better she’s going to be!!! So much support and so much help available today, so different than it was in the early 00’s when I was a kid!!! It’s a beautiful thing to adjust your perspective and go from what could be a defeating attitude to instead accepting & even celebrating the cards you’ve been dealt and not letting them defeat you. I’m excited for her and our family and I can’t wait to see what this process is like and how much better life is going to be for her. Until then, I’ll listen to her monologue entirely Bluey episodes start-to-finish because she memorizes them all??? Amazing. Wonderful. Love her so much.

10 THINGS I WISH YOU KNEW ABOUT YOUR CHILD’S MENTAL HEALTH

I haven’t finished yet, so I can’t give it my full endorsement, but so far I think that it is a really useful book for any parent or caregiver to read. Even as someone in the field that already knows what he is talking about, I think it is all a very good reminder and definitely provides information that people outside of the children’s mental health scope wouldn’t otherwise know. he writes in a very nonjudgmental way, and it is a quick read.

feeling seen

this is kind of sappy-ish example i’m thinking of, and idk if many people have noticed her speak abt it (or will care), but i’ve been a fan of chappell roan since like spring 2023 and she’s talked a few times about having bipolar and it just feels really validating and inspiring hearing her talk about it, especially knowing how loved her and her music have become since i first heard of her… i have a hard time talking about my experiences but it’s really nice seeing her talk about it, and some of what she’s said about her experience with bp has been so relatable to me. especially having such a stigmatized and intense condition it just makes me really happy to see her so successful bc i know how difficult (or scary) it can get 💞 “Being bipolar, I was so depressed as a little kid and so angry. You just think you’re such a bad person, and don’t realize that you’re really sick and need help, and our parents don’t know how to deal with it. I think it’s like rewiring my brain to be like, ‘actually, you’re a good person, and you’re creating a safe space and music for people to dance to.’”

post-rain views of the city

The desk I work from and make all my music at is technically our dining room, and is 3 feet from the couch and 6 feet from the kitchen, but we’re fortunate to have amazing views like this. It smelled amazing at this moment too, so we took the dog for a walk.
