Dr. Robby is a good example of someone who feels like they have to save everyone else. This is an attempt to feel safe and worthy. The problem is that you can’t do it and it leads to extreme self doubt and resentment.

# # The Invisible Weight of the "Quiet" Struggle

Living with a brain that refuses to slow down often feels like being an observer in your own life. We spend our days navigating a world built for linear thinkers, while our internal reality is anything but a straight line. Many see the high energy or the creative sparks, but few witness the exhausted silence that follows.

# # # The Emotional Pendulum
It starts with a storm. One moment, you are riding the high of a new idea; the next, an inexplicable wave of frustration or sadness takes over. These emotional shifts aren't choices. They are intense, fierce, and often leave us feeling like we’ve lived a week’s worth of life before noon.

# # # The Price of Hyperfocus
When we lock onto a task, we give it everything. But that 200% effort isn't free. The crash that follows is a physical and mental wall—a state of being completely drained where even simple decisions feel impossible. This cycle of intensity and exhaustion is a heavy burden to carry.

# # # The Mask of Perfection
To fit in, we mask. we overwork to prove we are "enough" and hide the impulsivity that leads to instant regret. We fear the sting of small criticisms because, to us, they feel like total rejection. Understanding this isn't about seeking pity; it is about recognizing the immense resilience required just to stay level.

"The way I was communicating to her was just making her feel sh*tty about herself instead of building her up, which was completely the opposite of what I thought I was doing," McLachlan said.

"I had to eat a lot of humble pie and take stock and go, 'OK, look, I want a relationship with my kid. So, I need to learn how to communicate differently with her,'" she said.
Sarah McLachlan is a beast! This is what strength and love really looks like!

It's never too late to repair a relationship with someone who loves you but also hurt by you. The issue many of us run into is that we are focused on our intent instead of focusing on the fact that our loved one is hurt by us. We have to be able to listen and not be defensive.

This is hard work and takes vulnerability and letting go of ego.

Sarah McLachlan said family counseling made her realize her communication methods made her daughter feel worse about herself.
