Hon don't beat yourself up about it.

I say (often!) I suffer from "Foot In Mouth Disease". Luckily, since starting treatment for ADHD, my brain has slowed way down. I still do it occasionally, but my FIM incidents are fewer.

Put a note on your computer to remind you to read what you wrote before you hit "enter". I know it can be hard, especially when the conversation is moving so fast. I find reminders like this helps to make them habits. I work in a call center and have to watch my tone of voice and such ALL the time. Doesn't matter if I have a bad day, I HAVE to keep it out of my voice.

I have found PC to be a very supportive place and I have yet to feel as if I was being "judged". Hang in there and know we DO support you!

Be careful how you look at the world, it may look back!
How do you want to be seen?
Thanks for this!
