I really enjoyed this article. Up until I read this article and thought I was the only person who experience those feeling so intensely. Like the commenter above, being an adult male it hard to find nor talk to other males about these issues. People will automatically assume that you are weak vs carefully choosing their words.
I appreciate reading your articles. Makes me feel less alone. Unfortunately, being an adult male with ADHD and RSD, I don’t find much about other adult males willing to admit to dealing with these things. Thank you!
