I thought I didn’t have RSD until it was pointed out to me that I take things like a personal attack and that I’m super emotional. So I researched it again through this lens. This happened just a few days ago and now I can’t unsee it.

Unpacking my own neurodiversity is weird, even after all these years.

Random pieces of advice

The world is less scary and chaotic if you lie down on the floor

Noticing different kinds of light (stars, candles, sunshine or city lights) can bring back the feeling of wonder and hope

If you can’t shower, washing your hands and face will help you feel better and cleaner

If you can’t clean anything else, changing and/or washing your bedsheets can do wonders

Fresh air and being outside in general can help with depersonalisation

Spending time around animals can help you recognise what’s important and calm anxious thought cycles

Techniques for emotional regulation in children can really help adults too

Putting random asortment of food on a plate without creating an actual dish still counts as a meal

Drink something warm

Delete that app

Treat yourself as if you were a kid. Buy yourself a toy, play around, learn about cool new things

Fast paced life isn’t morally better and it’s not good for everyone

There is no good reason to keep yourself hungry

Singing to your full lung capacity can be a great way to let out built up emotion

Tension in the face can cause headaches. Try to massage your face regularly

Nothing is as important as your health

You are a whole person on your own, you don’t need someone else to be there to deserve love and attention. Your life can be full as long as you are present

You should cry things out whenever you feel like it

Slow walks are still movement and they do count

It’s never as bad as you imagine it

Try changing your toothpaste flavor if you hate brushing your teeth

Anything can be a stim toy - one of my favourites is a heavy dragon necklace that has a complicated surfice. It’s fun to touch and hold and it’s not even “actual” stim toy

Procrastinating and feeling bad about it is true waste of time. Learn to truly rest. It takes the same amount of time but it is useful

Sometimes you have to force yourself to do the things that make you feel better

Don’t trust the thoughts you have after not sleeping for a while

Friendships don’t have to be forever to mean something

It's #biweek. Basically the best week of the year.

Chronic pain havers, we need to unionize against our bodies or something, this is very out of hand. Pain? Whenever our body feels like it? Fatigue? The "nerve itching" thing? The "no position is comfortable" times? I'm telling y'all, this is some wild'ass shit we're being forced to experience.

I must be doing something right to get an invitation to both the Honors program and National Society of Leadership & Success at my college, right? I think? I have imposter syndrome despite all of this and having a 4.0 for my degree. My family reminds me that I’m doing well but it’s hard to remember sometimes.

This round of imposter syndrome is brought to you by receiving an invitation in the mail. Gah!

My bestie just got the autism diagnosis for her 7 year old son. I think I convinced her not to put him through ABA. She’s already getting a referral for OT. What helpful therapies are there that aren’t abusive or traumatic that I can suggest she look into?

This year, getting a flu vaccine is more important than ever. Rutgers released a fact sheet and social story, available in English and Spanish, about why it’s important to get a flu shot and what to expect when getting the shot.

This is me. There are so many things I can’t eat because I hate the taste. I’ve always been a picky eater. When I was 4 and 5, I wouldn’t eat any pizza with seasonings in their sauce. I also associate foods with bad experiences and can’t eat them anymore - like the time I stopped eating grilled cheese for 2 decades because a fly landed on one when I was a kid. Food is such a hard thing for me.

shoutout 2 the autistic ppl w "picky eating" about tastes. i hear a lot abt textures but rise up my taste hating tumblrinas.

Felt like doing this again. It’s interesting to see where I am today vs two months ago.

Wish to know where your needs fall on the spectrum?

Take the test here.

This test is NOT for diagnosis.

Where your needs fall can change throughout your life and even day to day.

I’m “watching” my bestie’s 7 year old son and he’s watching Godzilla videos. He’s telling me all about the different Godzillas and their abilities. It makes my heart so happy. You go, T! Tell me all about your current hyperfocus and obsession. I love this kid.

I need you guys to listen so bad, but I’m at least glad people on Twitter are starting to talk about this. The government of Canada is expanding Medically Assisted Death to cull the poor and disabled, and now suicidal and mentally ill (these are usually interchangeable of course here). It is EUGENICS and every single disabled rights organization is against it.

Disability payments are $1,200 a month. The average one bedroom apartment rent in the Greater Toronto Area (greatest pop. area by far here) is $2,000 a month. People with mental illnesses are on months long waitlists to get even a single publicly funded session. Weeks to get privately funded care which costs at least $200 a session. There is no housing here for disabled people. We are in one of the worst housing crises in the world right now.

Doctors are now offering MAiD unprompted to young suicidal people. This woman is 21, a health practitioner literally suggested she kill herself.

This is one of the worst Disability Rights Violations we’ve ever seen in Canada. The government is killing us because it is cheaper than funding healthcare, cheaper than giving people housing and food and basic human rights.

May you have the courage to break the patterns in your life that are no longer serving you positively.

just had a realization. if you're heavily distressed every day. i think... i think that's called living in crisis. that's not normal. that's not healthy. that's an urgent health concern. you deserve better...

Do you ever eat popcorn out of the palm of your own hand with such ardent desperation that you feel like both a wild horse and the gentle schoolgirl feeding it treats to gain its affection

This is one of the better descriptions of what I see.

I hate having aphantasia. It's total bullshit, give me access to the internal images so I can draw better.
