Ask HN: Hacking your brain after trauma and mental health crisis?
This is very personal, and something I'm trying to figure out. I'm finding executive function hard to come by these days. Timeline of events: - March 1st I separated from my wife 18 years. - March 28th, my mom died. - April 7th met someone who'd become a unhealthy relationship (trauma bond) - May 30th divorce finalized - June 1st (trauma bond disintegration began) - June 14th (Grandma who raised me dies). I'm 44, so there may be a midlife crisis involved. I'm semi-transient living with roommates, after a stint in cheap motels. Mental health: - High Functioning Borderline Personality Disorder (diagnosed this year), - ASD (undiagnosed - suspected by my therapist), - Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive - Limerencing, ADHD (Inattentive). Finances: Able to program, unable to focus, was doordashing but lost my car last week (engine). Strategies so far: - Make new friends (I had zero support network, zero friends, zero family that isn't my ex-wife and kids). - D
