One of the biggest issues I’m having is coming to terms with how the PTSD has made depression worse these last few years and may or may not have been a major trigger in my ADHD…IDK, I want to call it? Let’s go with Mega-Evolved ADHD! Like in Pokémon!
This is an actual perfect picture for my brain?!?!
So like right now and for QUITE AWHILE I have been stuck in this mega evolved form. Carrying all this weight and trauma and dysfunction. UNLIKE Pokémon, in this form I’m not super powered up; rather, I’m the opposite, and underpowered.
It’s as though I have to unlearn harmful TM’s and HM’s (the ways you teach your Pokémon moves that they don’t learn as they evolve), and equip myself with ones I learn with the help of my trainer/therapist, and loved ones.
My hope is to either go back to Gengar, or IDK, possibly a “happier” Pokémon (but I do love Gengar so I ain’t mad lol).
I definitely live for analogies lol! But I didn’t think Pokémon and PTSD would be one of them.
