You appear to have all your shit together on the outside, but you are a mess on the inside. You don't tell anyone how you really feel for fear of being judged. You are exhausted wearing the mask of the perfect imposter. You ask yourself, "Why is my best never good enough?" You want to believe God has a plan for you, but you're not even sure you believe in God anymore. I assure you, it is not just you. This real-time struggle is real. I know personally, there is hope. We all need the love of community to that hope. I look forward to hearing from you about ways I can help.
My experiences have been a window into the negative affects of racial discrimination and marginalization as you find your place in society. I understand the exhausting battle with “Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria,” the toxic shame of ADHD, and your core belief of inadequacy. You are justifying your own existance to everyone.
My style is informal and relaxed. Therapy does not need to be a painfully clinical experience to be successful. I have learned that appropriate self-disclosure and transparency along with a good sense of humor are valuable in building a trusting relationship. Life is too short not to enjoy the experience with your full MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT.
