I have this boomerang effect I struggle with when it comes to relationships with other people. When I disclose something about myself, I often immediately afterwards feel like I am bad. That I am bad and stupid, that I said too much, and that I am unsafe.

My intelligent mind then unfortunately can intelligently drive me bats with wonderings. I wonder if I said too much, if I breached boundaries, if I drove someone away.

So, first thing, I am working on being aware of this, of when I do it. I've been a lot more social lately and when appropriate, some info about my mental and physical health challenges has been shared. So far the only person who gives me a bad time is me.
