i’m so relieved to know i’m not alone   i so often find that the tough love approach involves the sentiment of “you’re never going to succeed if you can’t handle criticism delivered in a meanharsh way” it crushes me every time the more i get these tough love “motivational” talks the more it drags me down   adhd alone is hard enough depression alone is hard enough anxiety alone is hard enough all of them together is hell then having someone point out all of my insecurities in a harsh way just lowers me deeper into that hell   thank you for posting this i really needed this today
