Autism culture is feeling like you're horrible because you're extremely hypersensitive w/ emotions and that leads you to having anger issues 🥲 like I don't wanna be angry like that but I can't fucking help it.
[Photo Id: A spin to win wheel with fourteen slots. The slots read "sensory overload". "too tired for life", "no eat only hunger", "brain fog", "gender dysphoria", "memory issues", "obsessive thoughts", "nonverbal", "med side effects", "digestive problems", "mood swings" with a smile and sad emoji, "dissociate for sixteen hours", "am i real?", and "irritability". Above the wheel there is text saying "What is the issue today?" end Id]
saw someone else's version of this and decided to make my own
Trying to warn someone we've gone into "irritable at the drop of a hat" mode. Except my brain tried to reword it.
As at the drop of a spoon.
Which you know what, that's probably pretty fucking accurate? Because it's like I'm running with a single spoon of frustration tolerance but every stupid fucking question costs 3 and I'm scrambling to find anything to make up the other two but all I've got is half-spoons and maybe a spork.
Chronic fatigue and aches make you very moody and irritable, and I hate that somewhere an older person will just look at me as “some youngling with an attitude” and act accordingly. MFER I AM IN A CONSTANT STATE OF CHRONIC UNWELLNESS AND YOU MAKE IT WORSE. FUCK YOU.
As Christians, our lives should be marked by joy (Phil. 4:4), taste like joy (Gal 5:22), and be filled with the fullness of joy (John 15:11). Busyness attacks all of that. One study found that commuters experience greater levels of stress than fighter pilots and riot police. That’s what we are facing. When our lives are frantic and frenzied, we are prone to anxiety, resentment, impatience, and irritability.
