Life As I Feel It
Life As I Feel It
Bobbie
Hey there, how nice of you to read this and maybe even listen to an episode. I’m Bo and in this podcast I talk about everything I’m thinking off and dealing with. It’s kind of meant as a way to process everything going on inside me whilst potentially helping others. Since forever I’ve had many mental health issues and have been in a severe depression for about a year now while being autistic. After listening to several podcasts that talked about their lives and how tremendously it helped me by hearing others going through similar situations, I wanted to try it out myself. Hope you’ll like it!
Ep 21: Feeling like you have to compensate for shortcomings
Ever since becoming depressed I feel like I have to make up for it in other areas. Since trying to practice self-compassion I realized this narrative fed my insecurities and created unsustainable expectations. So, this has to change!

Ep 19: Social anxiety is making me anxious
In this episode I discuss mostly how social anxiety has been impacting me lately. If anyone has a great tip on how to deal with (social) anxiety, I’d love to hear about it! Also, like always, I go on many tangents. Thank you for listening to what I’m sharing, it feels freeing to let it all out. Hope you all have a great day wherever you are.

Ep 18: Waiting mode and avoidance
Waiting mode is on. I never know how to use the hours before you have to leave the house, it’s the worst whenever an appointment is later in the afternoon. So recording it is!

Ep 17: I finally got back my results
Well, after months of anticipation I finally know whether I'm actually autistic or not. I still don't really know how I feel yet. As for the books and podcasts I spoke of in the episode, here's it written down so you can easily find them: Podcasts: The Neurodivergent Woman by Michelle Livock and Monique Mitchelson Oh, That's Just My Autism by Melissa Tacia Books: Unmasking autism by Dr. Devon Price Divergent Mind by Jenara Nerenberg Women and Girls With Autism Spectrum Disorder by Sarah hendrickx I also like the subreddits 'r/aspergirls', 'r/autism', 'r/neurodivergent', 'r/AutismInWoman', 'r/AutismTranslated', 'r/AutisticWithADHD', 'r/adhdwomen' and 'r/neurodiversity'.

Ep 16: I’m getting my autism assessment results back this Thursday and I’m so nervous
After months of feeling like an imposter I’ll finally know whether I’m ‘officially’ autistic this Thursday. I’m very nervous and it’s really stressful having someone else determine whether I am or am not. These upcoming days will be nerve wracking..

Ep 15: Buying things in bulk isn’t always the smartest thing to do
As the title says, buying things in bulk isn’t always beneficial. I end up not using a lot of it and noticed how often I buy things extra, having back up for the back up. This probably isn’t the most interesting episode, but just felt the need to talk. Curious if any of you relate to the buying things in bulk part!

Ep 14: All or nothing
I’ve always been one to either put my all into it or basically quit. That goes for every aspect in my life. Very tiring and not maintainable of course. Anyone recognizes this? Feel free to reach out via email [email protected] or shoot me a dm @bobbiiejanssen

Ep 13: How I became depressed
My attempt to share what led up to becoming depressed. It’s a complicated story and not sure if I explained it well enough, but I did my best. Hope this was in any way helpful or interesting to listen to!

Ep 12: Depression is complicated
Wanted to talk about how I became depressed, but just too depressed to even talk about my depression I guess. Having an extra tough time lately and felt like talking about that. Hope this was even a bit interesting, if not, thanks for letting me vent ;). Feel free to send me an email [email protected]
