This was the first thing I read upon waking this morning ~ thank you for such a warming message and for sharing your reflections back with me 🧡 Strong and sensitive go hand-in-hand and you are certainly the two. I agree the label is both useful and useless. It encompasses some aspects I can align with but then twists them into weakening definitions and meanings. Not to mention misses out on the most important part that I sense you've already found your way to. We have been long purposely suppressed and with this knowledge, we can choose to rise back up through love. It sounds simple but the greatest things always are. I recommend: The Book of Joy by 14th Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, and Douglas Abrams. If you haven't read it, it's quite the JOY!

You too! 🌞

I hear you! Alcohol is a common short term ‘fix’ for many of us. But at what cost.. what we’re really doing is saying to ourselves that we are not good enough in our natural state. Forcing to socialise in ways that are not natural. But we often think it’s the only way we will experience life, connection and joy. All I ask is that we begin to question this construct, this perception. Be gentle with yourself and allow the process to take the time it takes. Unmasking whilst life is happening all around can be very energy consuming, so give yourself safe space away from too much stimulation where you feel you can be yourself without outside influence. I’ve had to spend a lot of time on my own in order to reset. I let myself do all the things I loved as a child again - nature, climbing trees haha. I don’t have people to do that with but honestly it turns out I really love my own company. I feel like we’ve all been so scared of looking inwards because we’ve rejected ourselves since childhood. So many painful experiences meant it didn’t feel safe. Finding ourselves way back is a very worthwhile journey! Well done on continuing with your therapy even though it feels freaky when the mask slips ~ don’t judge yourself too much, get curious!! So much love to you 🌻

My second follow-up video talks about my true view on ‘Autism’. I didn’t include it here as I wanted people to relate and hear each others stories in the comments. Sensitive people are important ~ but we need waking up to that fact. Sometimes the use of labels can help people find each other and relate but it doesn’t mean I agree with the definitions nor meaning behind the diagnosis. I only sought a diagnosis out myself, in order to understand the process behind and to elevate my voice in the conversation. Above all I want to empower people to find their light, the world needs it quite desperately.

My pleasure ~ thank you too, for sharing the love! 💛

Happy we can relate to each other, truly! 🥹🙏🏼

Hi! Oh I’m so glad, thank you for hanging out and spending some time 🤗 Yes I’ve absolutely considered it and my mum had both tarot cards and angel cards when I was younger ~ though I don’t remember her using them. We were always an avid crystals and incense kinda household haha. Very homely for me 🥰 I’ve been playing with the idea of getting some cards but none have crossed my path as yet. As soon as I find a place selling them I’ll make sure to get some! 🧚🏼✨

I hear you 🫶🏼 I mean this from the heart, watch the follow up for some love. I didn’t include that here because I didn’t want to overwhelm but if you feel like you need it ~ it’s there, from me to you 🌻 🌞

I am OBSESSED ~ and orange is my favourite colour 😀🧡 Boris sounds like an absolute legend and I love him already. Please give him a squish and tell him he’s a good boi from me 🥰❣️

@@recoverywithme I did , he's a drooler and suffers from a skin condition so I have to keep him inside a lot but he loves being outside. Poor buggar. He says hi.

@@aprilk141 yes it makes me itchy just thinking about it 😂 it’s rare I have it completely down. I used alcohol the same but please remember, there is nothing to fit ‘into’. Most of society don’t know who they are and are all putting on an act. Truly. I learned that living in London for sure. It’s all fake. Real humans are hard to find so give yourself that love first, before trying to fit someone else’s idea of what’s cool. You are coolest when you’re being yourself. If they don’t like it - screw em! Your people are out there. Takes time though 😊

This was the first thing I read when I woke up this morning ~ how blooming beautiful. Thank you for such a kind gift and sending so much love back to you, friend 🌻✨

@@Nicnac13 I did for a very short time in the first few weeks. As much as I align with some of the concepts, it wasn’t for me in the long term. There are many paths of recovery but one size (in my opinion formed from both experience and research) does not fit all 🌞

My heart goes out to you, I can imagine some of the challenges you must have faced. You’re a lot stronger than you feel, I promise you that. Well done on continuing to look for answers too ~ it can be exhausting in itself. I’ve been working on something for over a year (I burn out easily so it’s taken a while and there’s so much to fit in there). It’s aimed at helping us sensitive people find our strength and move past our addictive coping mechanisms. Pop me an email hello@recoverywith.me if you think it could be interesting (no pressure). I figure we learn best from each other, the people who have actually lived a life and understand the pain. So much love! 🦋🫶🏼

Yes i remember first visiting years ago, before I’d moved there and my gut reaction was ~ I am never coming here unless I really have to, let alone live there! I but I convinced myself that I had to do so in order to be seen as ‘successful’. I was lost and didn’t believe I could exist as my true self. London is exhausting and I don’t think it’s healthy for anyone to be there for too long. Especially not us sensitive people 🙏🏼

We are only taught to ‘fit in’ no matter what the cost. No one teaches us to look within for the answers. It’s all a big Hollywood construct. It’s all a lie.

@@tiffanylbacon you’re a wonderful mum ~ I’m sorry the world is so backwards. I don’t know if you’ll resonate but part 2 to this video is more about our strength and how important sensitive people actually are. Perhaps it will lend some courage. Even though self diagnosis doesn’t lend much external support, it is valid and I see you 🫶🏼

@@recoverywithmethank you 🩷 I’ll watch the second video. An official diagnosis in the states won’t get me anything either because I’m an adult. The states suck for services for neurodivergent folks.

100% relate. Simplifying life, leaving the city and focusing on what brings me true joy has really helped. I spend a lot more time alone and it feels a lot more balanced. Hopefully you’ll find some similar answers that will help you feel good in your skin 🙏🏼✨

Do you have any pain symptoms

I’m not sure if this question was for me but I do experience a lot of (sometimes chronic) pain. Especially if I have something viral ~ I also experience what i call ‘sister pain’. If I injure my ankle say - I may get pain symptoms somewhere else in my body as well (as a direct result). I also experience a lot of fever type symptoms. At school, even a spot on my face could make me feel as if I had the flu, headache etc. and all my sensitivities flair up. Is that similar to what you experience? I’ve never dared to talk much about it as I don’t know how to communicate it firstly, and was scared of sounding like a hypochondriac.. I realise now it’s very common in our community.

@@recoverywithme yes Ime diagnosed fybromyalgia CFS decdes but only just diagnosed autism ADHD heds are you hypermobile it's muscle pain worst symptom daily some has changed over time people who don't understand use those hypochondriac terms Dr lenz channel is very good are you hypermobile? Do you have SPD the OCD is involved alot I believe. We have a different subconscious brain

Well done because it isn’t easy ~ one of life’s biggest challenges if anything. So this is amazing! It definitely takes time to balance out but it will. I’ve found early morning walks before the rest of society wakes up has been my favourite way to move my body. The more I listen to it, the more I want to put more love into it and less stuff that does me harm. But small steps, feel proud, so many people don’t ever even get to the ‘I want to make a positive change’ mindset. Let alone actually do it! 🙌🏼🌟

I love it when we can have varying perspectives but still appreciate each others take. I really respect that ~ thank you so much for this and for spending some time. Sounds to me like you’re onto something really good 😊 I think I was worried i would get lost in the void if I didn’t try to ‘keep up’. Turns out quite the opposite was true! 🌞✨

Same 😊 I’ve only recently found my way back to it, back to nature, in the last few years. Got a bit lost in the city noise 🙌🏼✨

Awh wicked! Thanks for hanging out! 🌞✨

@@Dancestar1981 they’re definitely at odds a lot of the time! Like Bart Simpson and his evil twin.. but which one is which? 😂 (I’m just joking but sometimes it does feel that way).

@@Broken_robot1986 thanks so much for this! It’s about a year on since this video & I am making it my sole mission to bring my inner child - back out! 😋 Turns out societal ‘rules’ are not my jam. Only play by the rules when I have to! That’s how much purposely spending more time alone (quality time for introspection away from projection) has changed my perspective the last few years. Making ourselves our best friend, and only allowing those people in who mirror that back to us. I’m sure I’ve alienated people from my past as a result but that’s why they’re not in my present. I want to run in the forest - find a cool stick or two 😂 im 35 next month and ageing no longer depresses or scares me. Cos I can still have fun in nature, be childlike, make stuff, even on my own- who knew? Let’s goo! 🧚🏼

🫶🏼

Awh yes, you’re so right! I think society has been manipulated that way since school sadly. Luckily many of us are waking up to ourselves again, back to joy and a sense of freedom! So happy you feel the same! And yes The Beaches are such an awesome band!! Thank you for this! 🫶🏼✨

Hi 👋🏼 My absolute pleasure, I’m so glad you found it helpful and felt some connection too. Something very important for us all to feel I think 🌻🥰

@@peterfox5106 Awh so happy to read this, thank you! @PurpleElla does a much better job at explaining ~ you can check it out here ua-cam.com/users/shortsyXW5JfCxegM?si=V_XJj22FNGbtSIS3

@@recoverywithme excellent resource and with literal knobs for the visual (or kinetic?) minded, thank you 😊 🙏

@@Sanika-xo hehe that’s very kind of you to say, thanks so much for hanging out with me! 😊🌻

@@Green_Expedition_Drgn Thank you for sharing back 😊 i can completely relate. I’ve had to strip life back to the bare basics as I’m exhausted & overwhelmed very easily, you might relate to that too? Hard to not fall into negative thoughts of ‘keeping up’ but I gently remind myself that it’s not my game so I don’t have to constantly try to play by those rules anymore. Be gentle with yourself, it’s been a challenging ride. The follow up video to this is more angled at strength and something I hope might lift you up should you wish 🌞✨

Thank you, beautiful comment. I didn’t go into my spirituality in this video, as I didn’t want to overload with information and dilute the message. But in my follow up I talk about my deeper perception of sensitive people and share my strength. I align with your words 🌞✨

@@recoverywithme My son might be like you. Very sensitive, very creative and talented playing multiple instruments, very high IQ but very introverted. I suspect spectrum but I don't think he is ready to find out for sure or to accept it. His happiness is more important than a label to me and labels just create a classification, they don't solve anything anyway. Western world is obsessed with labels. We are all different. Some more than others. There are right partners for every one out there where we make true connections.

Thank you for such a kind comment 😊

That’s amazing 💓 There’s something quite magic about them isn’t there? ✨I feel such a sense of awe in their presence. There is still so much beauty in the world, I hope we all find our way back to it 🥰

@@recoverywithme , yes, I feel that awe, as well! Thank you again for sharing. 🥰

Wow your comment is very touching but also very on point and timely! I’ve been listening to @AURORA new album ‘What happened to the heart’ 🫀 As I relate a lot to the message in her music and her interviews about the sad state of the world. What an amazing perception of my video, it’s really warmed me to read this and I love the magic! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch but also to share some insights 🌞✨

Thanks so much for telling a bit of your story too! I was self diagnosed when I put my first 2 autism videos out, because I really was that certain. I spent a long time looking inwards and scanning through my history. After all, we know ourselves best when we finally dare to look within. Since then I’ve been ‘formally’ diagnosed simply to understand the process, to help me in my work. But I value both the same! So happy you have a supportive partner ~ that’s so awesome! Small steps, take it at your own pace. It’s your life to live how you choose 🙌🏼

I’ve never been to Aus but I’ve seen many documentaries 🌞 I’m so lucky that I’m the only person awake at that time ~ it’s my own private moment with nature before the human world wakes up ✨

@@recoverywithmeThat is a one perfect moment in time and I think your little friend was waiting for you.🙏

@@recoverywithme I’ve only a small phone so can’t see clearly. But what was it seal or otter ? ✌️🇬🇧

@markthompson9914 a young seal 😊 It didn’t seem to mind my presence which was so appreciated ✨

@@recoverywithme If u get the chance again call “HERE BILLY BILLY BILLY” and they often come closer. I’ve rescued 3 pups in my time at sea on the trawlers and I had a pet one eyed seal who would wait for me to come up the river. He’d be alongside the mile or so straight cut then wait for me to lay too on the ropes. Then would start barking at me until I gave him his free meal. I used to save the whiting out of each haul and eventually got him to take it from my hand. Then one day he wasn’t there anymore 🤷‍♂️ But the Billy Billy Billy trick works, it’s an old seal hunters trick they used when seal oil was used to coat the sail against the elements. U will feel a prat, and look one to others 😂 but no kidding it works 👍 Edit; BTW if u curious I fished the Wash and surrounding waters of North Norfolk Coast England 👍✌️

My heart goes out to you ~ but you are very much not alone. It’s crazy how we’ve been made to feel so isolated, when reality is that Autism is VERY common. I have some quite strong thoughts on this in my latest ‘Part 2’ to this video. I don’t know if you’ll agree with my perception but if you do, it may help you find even more strength. I’d love to hear your thoughts! 🌞 Proud of you & proud of us all 🌟✨

I want to also thank you for mirroring this back to me and whoever else reads your comment. This connection feels so important and energising somehow 🪞✨

My pleasure, you amazing people on the internet have allowed me to finally feel understood! I’m happy to return the favour as much as I can. So glad we can relate, it’s life changing 🌟

Oh I feel this! It causes real mischief in there! Well done on the realisation ~ so many foods contain it! Even things that have no business containing milk. I try to make most of my food myself now just to avoid the bullsh*t 🙌🏼✨

Thanks so much! I haven’t come across her ~ feel free to send a link if you have time. Ive actually made a decision to let go of the barge & move back to Sweden after 27 years in the UK ~ I want to find a little red and white cabin in the forest to refurbish and to document the process. Something really comforting about restoring something old into the new. A reflection of my own journey perhaps haha 🌞

@@recoverywithme @wellbeingonwater

@@recoverywithme Her name is May. I love boats and sailing. I used to keep a Westerley Centaur on the River Hamble, she is now sold. My next boat will be a Contessa 32 when I’ve saved my pennies!

@justinhambidge8811 ooo very sleek - I love a mid century design both in home decor and boats! It’s a wonderful sense of freedom on the water, i hope the rest of humanity starts giving the sea the respect it deserves 🐬

@@hornady6.5 amazing achievement, you must have learned so much in that time ✨ I too have no space for it in my life, I prefer to feel things, even when it’s not all clear skies. Flowers need watering too 🌸
