@itsdrsam: I wanted to share what’s been coming up for me in hopes it helps others not feel alone. And of course everything ties back to my research bc it’s not only what I’ve experienced but what 1,003 other women across 29 countries also shared. For a lot of high-achieving women who may also be parentified daughters, and high-masking or neurodivergent functioning in way where you seem highly successful but you still have needs that are going unmet can make life feel like all you’re doing is constantly surviving. It’s a loop with High-Functioning Survival Mode™ at the base and societal structures constantly reinforcing it. #highachievingwomen #highfunctioningsurvivalmode #depression #successfulwomen
