Nayami reported after two months in a clinic and a week at home that things were slowly getting better. Therapies, the diagnosis of AuDHS, and medication had, in her own assessment, saved her life. She had not expected to fall into such a severe crisis because of it. The growing understanding of herself and external support had helped her increasingly perceive herself as a person, even though she still found it difficult. Feedback that she should just be herself had been hard for her to process in the past. Alongside positive traits such as kindness and honesty, descriptions of her as arrogant, intimidating, or particularly self-confident had caused her to reflect. Nayami stated that she wanted to set clearer boundaries in her private life as well as during streams, fairs, and events. She is learning to express her opinion, to provide constructive clarification instead of justifying herself, and to create a foundation where everyone can feel comfortable. #MentalHealth #Selbstakzeptanz #Therapie (translated)
