Adult children of Emotionally Immature Parents

I have not read this yet , but I’m betting it has a message for someone.

I reacted immaturely , on occasion, as I grew more wear,y of being the adult, with emotional intelligence that was met with walls instead of doors , with loved ones .

A test about 10 years ago , revealed I had some work to do, scoring 51 out of 55.

My vision weakened on psychiatric prescription drugs/chemicals , and I’m an avid reader. I’m on my I-pad and use enlarged print and often a magnifying glass in order to do any close work.

The lighting in my motel room is dim, I don’t receive Sun here , due to large shade trees (and the inset rooms ) we have a porch area for each ground level room, and of course the upstairs rooms have a deck like porch .

Trees out side my single back window, don’t lend to light .

Prayers this reference book helps in some way.

Anxiety has multi origins, and I learned to stop my anxiety I had to look at many factors .

Tracing that back to the Twlight Sleep, used on my Mom , requiring forceps to deliver me . to nutritional lacks in my early childhood development. Picking up on others energy early on, physical pain, and neglect, intentional or via ignorance of my high sensitivity.

In a relationship or marriage lacking intimate communication, not having the shelter of true love really increased my anxiety , and I had no choice to call a time out, for myself . I don’t respond to anxiety as I used to .

All that’s required is information and change in lifestyle etc to release anxiety , for me a long look back years ago was my escape from anxiety .

Avoiding conflict as much as possible , not allowing my emotions to be abused has improved my negative reactions , however I try to speak my truth .

Problematic High Functioning Anxiety

The Problem of High Functioning Anxiety

by A.T. Kingsmith

When we internalise the dominant capitalist narrative of productivity above all else, which portrays people who rest and take breaks as unworthy of amity and contentment, it becomes an ideological apparatus through which we make sense of the world. As a result, many of the supports on offer are eclipsed by market logics that have little interest in eradicating or even suppressing mental ill-health. All too often, what counts for “help” seeks to expand our capacities to continue producing while remaining unwell, exploiting possible every moment of time and spare resource for the purposes of “self-actualisation.”

Since value in a capitalist society is determined by the labour people produce and not by the ambitions and principles they hold, we have accepted that the busier we keep ourselves, the happier we can expect our lives to be.
