Thank you for this live. It was quite helpful in considering my gf has ADHD. I do tend to be a “fixer” for her which can be overwhelming for me. I sometimes try my best not to be one (which can be difficult as I have very high empathy). With that said however, she now has to deal with chronic pancreatitis also. That in turn makes me realise I have to help her.
Hmm, thank you for sharing and coming out as the partner with the "fixing others" tendency. Balancing love for others and self love, the energy interaction is a life-long process. Glad to hear that you are beginning to be aware of this process. Let me know what is the moment/part that is particularly challenging for you and I can speak more on that.
@ thank you for replying. Well the part is me trying to make phone calls for her/advocate for her. I’m trying to tell myself: “why? She must have done all this herself before she met me.” Recently I’ve been trying to get her to do her own stuff as I think she was getting used to me being her fixer and not have a second thought on it. The only time I would do things however, is if she needs something done, but can’t due to her ongoing pain.
@@lebmanrocks3949 I hear some parts that are having conversations internally. Do you mind I speak on this in my next video?
