additudemag.comadditudemag.com:

I am my greatest critic. While everyone else in the room is simply enjoying my quip, I’m preemptively seeking critical affirmation.

While I’m not a judgmental person, I feel certain I’m being judged — or should be.I love the individuals who can seemingly push aside their insecurities and boldly wave their flag despite any discomfort.

After a joke of theirs backfires, the room may go silent as everyone looks sideways, but I watch in admiration. I see the awkward and weird ones covered head-to-toe in the soot of their own hubris, and I instinctively want to wrap them up and protect them.

When I Was Pressured to Talk About My Cerebral Palsy in Class
I am like no other student. My mild cerebral palsy and the types of classes I’m enrolled in aren’t commonly seen together. My teachers, of course, are aware that I have cerebral palsy, but most of the students are not. I don’t make an effort to hide my CP — I walk the way I walk, naturally, and that’s that — but I don’t appear the way that society views a person who has a disability. Now that I’m much older and more mature, my friends know that I have CP and that I may need help sometimes — like a hand going down the stairs or stepping off of a curb, for instance — but it’s not a big deal to them, and I appreciate that. Yes, cerebral palsy is undeniably a part of me, but it is far from what defines me.

Health Care Providers: When You See 'Anxiety' in My Chart, This Is How I Need You to Proceed
I dread going to the doctor’s office. I don’t know many people who actually enjoy receiving health care, but I find it’s a very anxiety-inducing experience. I hate that sterile smell that’s characteristic of doctor’s offices and hospitals, and it makes me feel a little uneasy just thinking of it because I can distinctly smell it in my mind. It’s not just that I get anxious about diagnostic tests, physicals, blood tests, needles, and the usual experiences that come with those spaces; it’s that I often find I’m treated poorly for having anxiety.

Why a Good Day With Chronic Illness May Not Always Be Good for Our Mental Health
I know all patients with chronic illnesses are unique and have their own individual struggles. But I think the one thing we all have in common is the sheer unpredictability of living with a chronic illness. Most of us have good and bad days, or at least bad days and not as bad days. I actually compare it to a gambling addiction. One of the worst things for someone with a gambling addiction is to actually win. When that happens, the mind can convince itself that it will happen again and again, if not every single time.

Study: Dyslexia Is Not a Neurological Disorder But an Evolutionary Survival Trait
July 5, 2022Dyslexia is not a neurological disorder or even an impairment, but rather a concession for having cognitive strengths in exploration, big-picture thinking, creativity, and problem-solving that have contributed to human survival amid changing environments. This insight comes from a new study published in Frontiers in Psychology that finds an association between the learning difference and “an explorative bias.”1The researchers found that people with dyslexia (explorers) have strengths in experimentation, innovation, and searching for the unknown.

3 Reasons Why You Should Stop Controlling Everything
Research has shown that controlling behaviors are either genetic or environmental. You are either born with a heightened need to make sure everything goes exactly how you want it to go or you are raised like that. If your parents always took charge of your life and you were raised surrounded by strong language such as “you have to wear that shirt because I say so”, “you have to study at least five hours today.” Other similar statements, chances are you don’t know any better than replicating that behavior yourself.Controlling behaviors often stem from anxiety or fear.

“How a Few Great Books Ended My ADHD Shame Spiral”
“Am I just like Brian?”I stored the thought in the back of my mind and pondered it every now and again. Then, during an evaluation, my supervisor mentioned a few issues with my work habits, and a bell sounded in my head.“Ding! Dong! This sounds like ADHD!”“I think I have ADHD,” I told my supervisor.“I think so, too,” she said. She had a grandson with ADHD and was familiar with the symptoms.I told the pediatrician during my son’s check-in appointment, “I think I have ADHD.”He replied, “You do!”It was disconcerting that the doctor had only observed me at short routine appointments, yet had made this conclusion.

However, it occurs more often in people with conditions that reflect attention issues, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Hyperfocus can prove helpful when you’re able to channel its intense focus into difficult tasks, such as paying bills or completing homework.

4 Effective Ways To Stop Overeating Processed Foods
Research has also shown that protein makes you feel satiated, which is more than enough to reduce the need to snack or the desire to fill meal plates with too much food. Lean meats, white meat, fish, nuts, and beans are all great options for protein.Refined grains like white rice, white bread, and white pasta aren’t the worst things for your diet, but they’re processed, and a lot of the nutrients they could have had aren’t present as firmly as they could be. Whole grain alternatives like brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, multigrain bread, and other similar options provide you with much more fiber and satiety without removing the essence of the refined versions that you enjoy.

So You've Decided to Limit Contact With a Parent. Here Are 5 Things You Should Know.
One of the great myths regarding adult parent/child estrangement is that adult children are somehow impulsively cutting off their parents. This myth seems to stem from the fact that to the parent it may very well seem to be abrupt, but that’s because they have failed to see how frequently that adult child has tried to repair the relationship. And that failure is what ultimately has led the adult child to make this difficult and painful choice.
