Can I Teach My Partner Self-Love To Help Her Low Self-Esteem?
The answer to this question might not sound positive, but it is highly practical. You cannot teach anyone self-love because loving the self does not come from external forces, or other people. It comes from how we were treated in childhood: whether we were appreciated or not, or shown real value for who we are, and also whether our relationships since then have changed that experience or reinforced it. Self-esteem, which comes out of self-love, has to be built internally, because a lack of self-love is indicative of an absence of self-acceptance, a feeling of inadequacy, and being worthless.

Finding yourself as an Indigenous person diagnosed with ADHD.
It’s such a strange concept, ADHD, it’s one that I am still getting used to and, ever more so still trying to understand. I only got diagnosed last year, after practically begging my treaty-promised healthcare provider to see a psychiatrist then to only have to convince the dismissive doctor that I deserved to be evaluated. I had already had the inclination that I was, in fact, symptomatic of ADHD tendencies, and I thought the diagnosis would offer relief in the sense of validation. In a way it did, but it also led to a whole new world I was not prepared for.

To keep myself busy, and at least to utilise my brain, I took to the computer to do my writing, but that did nothing for my social life, or even basic exercise, which worried me daily, as exercise is often better than medication for that illness.
