In the end I'm just me. But I have what seems a long list of issues and I keep wondering which bits are for what diagnosis and how to deal with them. Or do I just accept everything as a whole.. If you have multiple health issues or multiple diversity how do you manage?
My diagnosed conditions are DCD, & depression with anxiety.
Currently got a sore back and I've been really busy. My DCD is rampant because of how the pain takes up the brain space needed for motor control. I know this because of my intention tremor being visible and constant. If I'm well it's only before a substantial effort in movement
My beloved was upfront enough to ask if we needed to make a few adjustments in our kitchen routines to deal with the increased risk of injury when I'm in this kind of state.
a) it's amazing to have someone notice
b) I'm so pleased he's feeling he can ask - because of his experiences of domestic violence he's often struggling to bring up potentially emotional topics...and I can get upset when I can't do "normal" things
I have dcd too and will answer more fully later.. you will understand when I say I can't multitask because I am chopping up kindling! .. controlled setting in a chair and choppers.. can't cut myself so I'll text later but want to get on before it rains!
Be careful out there!
Thanks.. safely in and done
