The real problem is that I’ve lost my way. Honestly, I'm not even sure who I am anymore or what I'm doing here.
I don't even have the energy to dig through all these psych diagnoses anymore. If I went by those labels, I’d probably be hooked up to life support by now. 😵
I'm leaning towards Indigo, mostly because I have 17 out of the 21 traits, which definitely makes me feel like I fit that description to some extent.
Ever wondered if you might be an Indigo child?
Does your kid already have a real sense of who they are? I feel like mine surprises me all the time with these little nuggets of wisdom that seem way too old for them.
Does your kid struggle with discipline or having a hard time listening to authority figures?
Does he actually handle waiting in line, or does bureaucracy drive him crazy? He’s usually pretty chill, but even he has his limits when dealing with endless paperwork.
Does your kid feel stuck because of those rigid, ritual-heavy systems that leave absolutely zero room for creativity?
Does he hit you with a barrage of impossible questions all the time?
Do you think your kid is super creative?
Do you usually multitask a lot, or do you struggle with ADHD and find yourself constantly jumping from one thing to the next?
I’ve always been a huge bookworm, but honestly? School felt like such a drag most of the time. I loved learning new things on my own, but the classroom stuff just never really hit the mark for me.
Do you find yourself constantly retreating into your own head, lost in books or daydreaming through the day?
Does your kid fall into one of these categories: super sensitive, both physically and emotionally, or are they more on the cold, angry, and stubborn side?
Can lies and unfairness really upset or sadden your kid?
So, is your kid a total genius?
Does your little one tend to freak out in big crowds? I’ve noticed mine gets pretty overwhelmed by loud noises, heat, or even strong smells.
Does your kid constantly demand real answers instead of those "baby stories" we tell to keep them quiet? It feels like they end up getting labeled as "difficult" just because they actually want the truth.
Does your kid have any standout talents? I'm talking about those skills that feel almost supernatural or just an incredibly sharp intuition.
Does your kid have a huge heart for others? I've noticed mine gets really worked up whenever they see someone struggling and just wants to jump in and help.
Did your kids start getting into computers and tech at a young age too? Mine was practically born with a tablet in hand.
Does he always go on about how he’d fix things at school or make society run better? It seems like he's constantly dreaming up ways to improve everything around him.
Does your kid act out or show antisocial tendencies even when they aren't around other kids their age?
Did your little one take a bit longer to start talking?
Does your kid ever give you that look—you know, that deep, soulful stare that makes them seem way older than they actually are?
If I really am an indigo child—or was one, growing up—I honestly have no clue. Nobody ever really sat down to talk about it with me. So, how do you actually figure out why you're here? And more importantly, how do you turn down the volume on all this sensory overload and material noise I feel like I was just dropped into?
I deal with this identity crisis stuff pretty often—whether I'm at work, out with my partner, or just hanging out with friends. Sometimes it hits so hard that I just shut down completely. I end up feeling like a ghost, staring blankly at everyone around me, just desperately trying to find my way back to who I really am. It’s hard to put into words, but it feels like I'm searching for a home that's still stuck somewhere in the fog.
Even though doctors have officially labeled me with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, and even some unofficial bipolar tendencies, I can't help but feel like there’s a strong "indigo" vibe to my personality too. Honestly, I'm just sitting here wondering what the point of all these labels really is.
I’ve actually tried reaching out to the mental health system several times, hoping they could help me through some psychiatric sessions, but it was a bust. Honestly, I walked away thinking they need help even more than I do—just in a completely different way.
It just doesn't work for me. They didn't help, so I don't trust them.
Everything else involving them is a whole other long story, but I won't go there because I think it's tied more to spirituality.
As for my indigo aura—which one woman who specializes in etheric light levels and energy medicine told me literally colors my entire being—I've come to realize I'm just not cut from the same cloth as the rest of the "normal world." I’d honestly love to hear from anyone else in a similar boat so we can swap stories, perspectives, and ways to handle daily life together.
Here's an interesting guide on navigating auras if you're curious:
I really want to turn this "curse" into a blessing and just live a bit more normally.
There are moments during the day where I actually pull it off. I feel like I have my life under control and I'm not letting these things trip me up. But generally speaking, I fluctuate too much and struggle to stay balanced. Internally, I’m struggling; I often feel like a kid stuck in an adult's body. Everything hits me hard, I overanalyze everything, and emotionally, I'm still pretty immature.
I feel chronically exhausted. Most days, I just want to spend all my time out in nature or talking about topics like this for hours, scrolling through the web looking for answers that might actually help. That's where the trouble starts, though. I can't keep up with the usual stuff—rushing to work, dealing with paperwork, the whole grind. It stresses me out until I just snap. And the worst part is, deep down, I know there are others just like me out there, we just haven't met yet.
On top of all that, I have this gut feeling that there's a deeper purpose to all of this, even if it hasn't quite clicked for me yet.
