I think people overlook the inability to regulate body temperature as a sign of impending burnout

When things are really deteriorating I find that I can never be a happy medium between hot and cold - I'm either freezing and feel the need to wrap myself in layers upon layers or I'm so uncomfortably hot that I'm sweating

It's like my body is trying to tell me that I am dysregulated to the point of needing to stop everything before burnout properly hits

⚠️Asking BPD people for tips ⚠️

So I used to have a favorite person that I loved and obsessed over and he hurt me very badly. Not just him but several friends of his also partaking in hurting me. Of course one day he up and disappeared and I never got closure for all these complicated feelings.

I’m begging y’all. What do y’all do when you’re “relapsing” into old thought patterns about your ex FP? I’m dealing with anger, flashes of grief, self hatred, confusion, my mind going “WHY did he do that?” Helplessness etc. I need some advice or positive habits to help with this. Please. I’ve been dealing with this since 2020 and it’s starting to happen at least once a day.

I really hope this post wasn’t for nothing. It was hard just to put these thoughts into words on a screen.

the most helpful thing i have ever seen from neurodivergent internet spaces is “THERE ARE OTHER TIMES OF DAY TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH”. this has genuinely saved me from executive dysfunction spirals so many times.

I feel like there are a lot of people out there who needs to hear this:

If you dropped out of school because of diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, Autism, ADD, OCD, Dyslexia, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, schizophrenia etc… You did not fail. The education system failed you.

"adhd isn't a disability"

breaks down over trying to start tasks until he deadline is stupidly close

unable to do basic chores unless it's like 4am and then the whole damn house gets cleaned

speaks too fast

tangent and tangent and tangent. makes social situations hard

literally unable to stop themselves from interrupting people mid sentence (and the constant "*interrupts*- sorry, please continue")

knows what they want to say, cannot find the words, even if it's something basic

auditory processing disorder (pretty common with adhd), like how do you explain that you can hear but your brain has minecraft server lag and the chat will appear soon

hyperfixations, and people thinking they are special interests when they are not (they are short term, literally stops you from basic care like eating and drinking when in) edit: it was brought to my attention this comes across like special interests are easier to live with which is not the case, please do not take that away from this post!!!

impulse purchases making bank accounts cry

all or nothing. not hungry to pain. don't need to pee until pain. you get the picture

cannot sit still, like actually can't, constant moving and shuffling which people think would be cute but actually just pisses people off

doesn't have a fidget toy, not bc they are popular but bc they would have to put it away bc dylan over there got a fidget spinner and has been loudly playing with it (dylan is neurotypical)

cannot do anything if there is something else to do that day, must wait

just stfu it is a disability

#written by an adhd person at 4am bc they cannot sleep bc brain go brrrrrrrrrrrr #but not brrrrrrrrrrrr like cute #brrrrrrrrrrrr like a ch-47 chinook #that's a helicopter #adhd #actually adhd #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #neurodiverse stuff #adhd problems #adhd things #actually neurodivergent #holy shit 10k

Ah yes, the autistic experience of being more mature than your peers as a child/teen, and then less mature as an adult. The window of opportunity to relate is... not there

Neurotypical standards have really rubbed away at my self-esteem so persistently that I have spent years trying to take-up as little space in everyone else's lives as possible

Asking for help feels like a betrayal of the impulse to make myself small and convenient

*takes your face gently in my hands and looks sincerely into your eyes* listen. your home does not need to look like a showroom. homes are meant to be lived in, and that means a certain amount of mess. it's okay if there is clutter on your desk or if you don't remember the last time you cleaned your oven. mess is morally neutral. but at the same time, you deserve to live in an environment that is safe and comfortable, and that means someone has to clean sometimes. things like mold, spoiled food, and dirty litter boxes are genuine health hazards and need to be dealt with before they make someone sick. think of cleaning less as "my home needs to be completely spotless" and more as "I am an animal and I need a habitat that is free of hazardous material." it's okay. *kisses you on the forehead and tucks you into a blanket*

(and of course it is always acceptable and even good for you to ask someone else to help you with cleaning if it's physically or mentally difficult for you. even if you're paying them to do it.)

Autism: If something changes, I will cry.

ADHD: If nothing changes, I will cry.

ADHD/Autism comorbity: I will cry.

my theory is neurodiverse people also have anti special interest a thing that they just can't record any information about and listening about it makes us almost physically ill like you want to be out of your body and out of existence

#for me its soccer #and dont get me wrong ill listen to someone passionate about it #but once it gets into my ears its immediately gone #i just cant help it #neurodivergent #neurodiverse stuff #actually autistic #autistic things #adhd problems #autism #adhd #neurodiversity
