Life As I Feel It

Well, this is it I think. I have been pondering about quitting this podcast and I feel like it’s best to do so, at least for now. Thank you so much for listening and wishing you the best!

The smallest thing can steer my emotional wellbeing to either feeling amazing or feeling horrible, I'm so easily impacted by a relatively small thing. Anyone else recognise this?

Just a recap of what happened in the past few weeks. Have been forgetting to record episodes, my mind is just elsewhere lately. Hope you’re doing good!

It’s been a while since I last recorded, so here is a short update. As always, thank you for listening!

This episode is all about positive things that have been happening :). I usually share things that I struggle with since that's what I need to vent about, but I really wanted to share this and talk about good things. I'm so super excited, it will be a long long week. Thanks for listening! And as always feel free to reach out either via email laifipodcast@gmail.com or IG @bobbiiejanssen. Ha...

In this episode I talk about how my intrusive thoughts have been really bothering me. My mind is playing tricks at me and I have no idea on how to ignore them. How joyful ;).

Since forever I can become SO obsessed with certain things, the only thing I can think of and want to talk about is that and nothing else. It's pretty frustrating, I really try to distract myself and go on with my day, but it doesn't work. How do you cope with this? Feel free to reach out via laifipodcast@gmail.com or IG @bobbiiejanssen Cheers

At first I thought it was kind of unnecessary to make such a plan, since I thought I at least knew myself well enough to realise in what 'phase' I'm in and what's best for me. But often during said phases I can't rationalise anymore let alone think and actually do what's best for me. So this plan is really helpful. I can absolutely recommend making one for yourself, even if...

Oh no, it happened yet again. Didn't fully advocate my needs and now my battery is fully drained. It keeps being difficult to navigate my boundaries. Trial and error, I guess. Please do reach out if you feel like talking or if you want to give feedback on the podcast. You can reach out via email laifipodcast@gmail.com and IG @bobbiiejanssen Cheerio!

Conversing is always a tricky one. Am I saying the right thing? Am I talking too much? Am I boring this other person? Have I shared too much? It's confusing and tiring, but it's part of life. The app I talked about is called 'Othership'. Also, it would be so appreciated if you took a bit of your time to reach out whether you like this podcast. You can reach me via laifipodcast@gmai...

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!

Several very good changes are coming and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m so glad I’m gaining more positive feelings. Feel free to reach out! You can reach me on laifipodcast@gmail.com

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.

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!

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 b...

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..

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!

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 laifipodcast@gmail.com or shoot me a dm @bobbiiejanssen

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!

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 laifipodcast@gmail.com

Went through so many struggles during employment and that always seemed to be a constant thing no matter the type op job I had. It makes me feel like such a failure and scares me for the future. I'm unemployed right now and not knowing how my future looks like is really uncomfortable. And I worry if me being overwhelmed will keep happening at every job. Do any of you relate and/or have tips? I wou...

I just had my last autism assessment appointment and I'm so anxious. I have no idea whether she agrees with my self diagnosis and the waiting and not knowing makes me so stressed. Thought it was a good moment to talk about the struggles I had whilst undergoing this assessment. Hope this episode was in any way useful and/or relatable.  You're more than welcome to send me an email on laifipodca...

Wanted to go more into detail on some personality traits I have that don't correspond well with others and unspoken behaviour 'rules' I guess. Kind of ironic that I'm talking about sharing too much and here I am discussing my private thoughts with strangers lol. Anyways, really hope you've been liking the podcast so far and that my story has been helpful in anyway.  Feel free to email me laif...

Just wanted to discuss how I'm dealing with being around people lately, especially since I don't want to mask anymore but don't really know how not to.  Feel free to shoot me an email laifipodcast@gmail.com or send a dm on IG @bobbiiejanssen

Such a random episode lol. I wanted to give a heads up which ended up becoming it's own episode. First wanted to delete this episode, but since this is such a funny reflection of a few personality traits I have I thought to just keep it. Also, as I said previously, I want to keep everything super real and well this is the real me.  Curious to hear what you think of the podcast so far! If you...
