13 Rules for Surviving the Worst

This isn't self-help. It's not motivational fluff. It's a survival manual, born from the darkest chapters of my life—the brutal realities of psychological warfare, devastating addiction, calculated betrayal, relentless sabotage, deep-rooted trauma, and profound isolation. It's for those who carry unseen scars, for those who mask their pain with high achievement, for those who silently fight battles every single day.

I wrote this guide because I desperately needed it when I was at my lowest, but it didn’t exist. It’s the clarity I wish someone had handed me when I was gaslit into questioning my sanity, when my trust was manipulated by people I believed had my back, when addiction became my only temporary escape, and when trauma threatened to consume everything good left inside me.

Here's what's inside:

• 13 brutally honest rules for emotional survival—learned from climbing back up after hitting absolute rock bottom.
• Real, hard-earned insights that saved my life and helped me rebuild from the edge of collapse.
• Practical strategies designed specifically for high-performers who publicly thrive under intense pressure but privately break apart.
• No clichés, no filler, no abstract therapy-talk—just authentic, straightforward tactics that genuinely fucking work.

If you've ever felt broken, if you've ever been told you're "too much" or "too damaged," know this: you're not. You're resilient, you're powerful, you're here—and that alone speaks volumes. These rules will remind you of your strength, even when your own mind tries to convince you otherwise.

You’re not lazy. You’re frozen.
This is a one-page survival tool designed to break through ADHD task initiation paralysis using science-backed methods — not shame.

Inside this free PDF, you'll get a brutally clear protocol that combines:

• Behavioral Activation from CBT
• Low-Threshold Activation to bypass executive dysfunction
• Dopamine priming through physical motion
• Implementation Intention for resistance-free momentum

There’s no list to write. No bullshit to plan. Just action that works when your brain says, “Nope.”

Use it when:

• You can’t get started no matter how hard you try
• You’re stuck in freeze mode
• Motivation is gone and pressure makes it worse
• You want to move but your brain won't boot

Created by Cody Taymore, founder of Kill The Silence™, this protocol is raw, honest, and designed for survivors of ADHD, trauma, and burnout who still want to get sh*t done.

Download it. Print it. Pin it to your wall.
And when you’re stuck — flip the damn switch.

You weren’t born agreeable. You were conditioned to disappear.

This is a multi-page recovery guide for people who:

• Apologize before they speak
• Say yes while their gut screams no
• Feel responsible for everyone’s comfort but their own
• Call it kindness, but feel resentment underneath it all

The Fawn Recovery Guide breaks that down — page by page — and gives you a way out that’s honest, grounded, and actually usable.

Inside this guide:

• Page 1: What fawning really is — not personality, but programming
• Page 2: Signs you’re in a fawn loop — and how to catch yourself in real time
• Page 3: Where it comes from — why it was never your fault
• Page 4: What to do with the guilt — because it always shows up
• Page 5: Scripts for when your mouth freezes
• Page 6: How to handle the spiral after setting a boundary
• Page 7: The reintroduction to your real self
• Page 8: A final reminder you’re not broken for finally saying no

This isn’t a journal prompt.
It’s a nervous system intervention.

You’re not selfish. You’re not too much.
You’re just healing — and no longer offering your peace to people who demand your compliance.
