<p>This time we're talking about the difference between "I don't give a f*ck." and "I can't give a f*ck." When you have mental health struggles, a trauma background, or are neurodivergent there is a distinction between the two. In this episode, we're covering a few examples of how ingrained societal pressures and differences in the way our minds work can influence us and challenge out ability to budget our limited number of f*cks. We'd love to hear from you about your own experiences with limited functioning and about what factors influence how you budget your inner resources so let us know at https://www.differentfunctional.com/contact And if you'd like to support us on Patreon you can find us at https://www.patreon.com/differentfunctional?fan_landing=true</p>

Reduced Functioning (part 2): Making the Most of the F*cks You Have

The Different Functional Podcast is about exploring the traumatic past in order to live an authentic life today. We believe you do not have to spend the rest of your life as either a victim or a survivor. Instead, we believe, you can choose to define yourself and your life on your terms. And that is what Different Functional is all about. Sifting through the pain, debris, and memories to create your own personal definition of functioning. And to find the strength to grow toward your own light.

We are not mental health professionals. We are not licensed therapists, doctors, or counselors. We are simply two sisters who lived through a traumatic childhood and worked our butts off to create meaning and growth from what we experienced. On The Different Functional Podcast, we aim to tell you our story, discuss our research, and share our insights. All in hopes that maybe some of these lessons will help make your journey a little easier.
