I don't know if any of you or perhaps your kids ever felt like they were never doing something good no matter what. But I hope I'd be able to get rid of this non-healthy thinking.
My daughter often feels this way. It makes me very sad, because it is not true. But it
feels true in her mind. She can see what COULD be, and feels that nothing in real life can be as good, so by comparison it must not measure up to possibility. This is partly her perfectionism; it can really poison a person's thinking about themselves.
Your recent posts indicate that you are learning and thinking hard! It sounds as though you are in a better place in your thinking now that you're "moving" to understand and change things inside.
I taught and still am, to myself about acoustics, sound design and audio mixing, and it makes me so happy I am jabbering all day long about these subjects. It even made start doing physics again.
My psychologist once told me she could hear the knowledge and the happiness when I was explaining what I was doing and that there must be something to work on. I never thought about it until today.
I'm so glad that you have a passion that engages so many of your abilities and interests at the same time. That's very important to exercise our gifted brains, I think. Your words sound very joyful when you talk about this passion.
