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

We are finally in a room. It took 4 hours, which isn’t the worst we’ve experienced. Luckily they’re calling her neurologist. Maybe we’ll actually figure this ish out.
Wife and I are at the ER. She’s been having what her neurologist (our neurologist? We see the same guy) think are seizures. She’s been having small tremors off and on since February. We think it was caused by Paxil, which she rapid detoxed from under medical care a few months ago.
Today the whole body tremors/shaking are constant. With all her medical issues, I try to stay positive and strong. We do it for each other.
Hubby is at home getting cleaning done for the plumbing. It’s just another day in our life. It’s weird.
This is the life

Hello everyone,

Neurodivergence
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.
welp. i was THISCLOSE to posting an adolescent “i hate everything” post… and then i saw this.
