Skincare is sensory hell

hey fellow autistic babes how tf do i do skincare when it makes me want to die???? Sensory tips any1?? Rinsing my face feels like I'm drowning and having moisturizer near my nose and mouth makes me feel so gross. My skin is so bad and doing skincare is so hard on me i barely do it all or avoid it so hard I end up not even brushing my teeth(also sensory hell) or do other important routine shit. Can anyone else out there relate?

Another episode of "How fucked up is my brain?"

Today was a very good day, weatherly speaking.

Unfortunately, this neuro divergent ass couldn't enjoy it BECAUSE she's in a deep pit of depression that she realized only quite recently and it's still halfway in the denial stage because, even if she realized that, she hasn't call her therapist yet.

Yes, this ass could be a little dumb sometimes.

Coming back on why she didn't enjoy her Sunday: her depression literally forbid her to do any work for my job Thursday and Friday. TOO BAD she has two deadlines for Monday the 6th (and she thought that the 6th was Tuesday. Sad realization of the Friday night). Of course she thought she could spring a 3 day work on 8 hours (yes, we can; more or less) BUT, thanks to the sad realization of Friday night, that wasn't feasible anymore.

SO, she decided: OK! I will work both days in the weekend!

Of course, Saturday nothing happened. She binge watched Criminal Minds (yes, WE KNOW) till 1AM, because that's how deep in the pit she is.

Today she woke up at noon (as per usual for the weekends) and while procrastinating in bed she came up with the chant "today's the day we make anxiety go away" (yes, it's basic, but hey! whatever works!).

That's because the more I procrastinate the more my Anxiety grow stronger and THAT'S NOT SOMETHING SHE NEEDS.

Result: she was able to do the work of 2 days in less than 8hrs for the first project (yeah, she always quote more time because it's what you do, don't you ever quote real time it takes for you to do shit or you'll never have a breather at work). Too bad she has now a sheet FULL of questions that she could have the answer Thursday already and the project can't be completed without them.

And now it's time for her second project... which she's not sure what task she has to do. According to her calendar, she did a call two weeks ago about one of them but she doesn't remember shit (not surprising since it's been two weeks of ONLY CALLS and she HATED every minute of them). The other one she remember, but not what they said to do in the meeting. So she will now do the second one because it has the biggest probabilities to be the one and tomorrow, she will ask a coworker to review it.

Thank you for following another episode of "How fuck up is my brain?"

Maybe you're an old soul. Maybe I'm just neurodivergent. 🤷‍♀️

Does anyone else at school feel as if they're missing something? Like, let's say everyone's brains are cars. Everyone has a slightly different one and all work slightly differently but are all relatively similar.

So, Does anyone ever feel as if they've been given their Brain Car but not the knowledge or ability to drive or take care of it? Where do I find the User Manual?!

Right now, every time my Brain Car breaks down or I crash I am just stuck waiting on the side of the road until someone is able to stop and help me right myself again.

I zoned out writing, today, and suddenly I realized that six hours had past and that I had written 7k words in one chapter and I'm nowhere near finished with my thoughts! ADHD apparently took the wheel with some deep hyperfocus, and God only knows what that asshole created. Wheeeeeeee!

Another Friday, another Friday not in love. Tragic.

However, I did remember to refill my lunch ritalin. So today my afternoon won't be a frazzle of forgetting words and getting side tracked in the middle of tasks. I forget how much it helps me until I don't take it and try to be my competent self. I'm a real mess without it.

Being neurodivergent is fun other than when ya just kinda forget how to human bc I legit have photos of when I got into cosplay then forgot how to smile or do proper facial expressions. My camera roll from that day is just full some fun photos. :)

Does stuff like this happen to anyone else?

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.

Idk what this strain is, but the ratio of green:purple just makes me think of the bagged mixed salads you can get at supermarkets… 😂🥴

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.

You're doing your best.

A Friendly Autism Family Story

[Image Description: The foreground is a peak of a golden sand dune with tufts of beach grass sweeping up both sides opens up show a lush, green, and very sandy landscape. In background an impossibly blue Lake Michigan rolls out to a distant island. The sky from blue to blue, as if you were stuck in the middle of the first Tumblr post ever.]

My sister and I were in northern Michigan, enjoying the sandy beaches and unphanthomly clear waters of Lake Michigan. The waves splashed around us as we walked and talked about life and love and all those sisterly things. Something caught Kız's eye as we made our way along the shoreline. Picking it up, Kız announced, proudly, "I found a green rock for Princess. I know she likes green rocks. Give it to her and tell her I found it."

When I got home, I gave Princess the rock, and made sure that she knew that Kız found it for her.

My new safe/comfort food is a mix of congee and Sandinavian rice porridge. The main difference between the two is that Scandi rice porridge is cooked with mostly milk and always sweet (usually topped with sugar and cinnamon), while congee can be both sweet and savoury (mostly savoury in my experience).

The mix of these two comes with me removing 1 dl of water/broth with milk, which makes this dish even creamier. The reason I've started to make this pretty much daily is because I found a hack that makes me able to cook it in 20 min instead of 45-60 min. After you've rinsed the rice, you put it in the freezer (over night or longer). Apparently this cracks the rice, making it cook faster and I notice no difference in the texture or taste. I've also found liquid egg whites (which is pasteurised egg whites in a bottle), which enables me to add protein to it without wasting yolks (I don't like the taste and texture of cooked yolks). It's actually cheaper for me than buying whole eggs.

My personal adding for this is: Sweet: cinnamon and honey Savoury: soy sauce, mushrooms and green peas. Plain: 1 teaspoon of butter & extra egg whites.

So one dish - three different flavours.

I don't have a picture of this yet and next step is to see if I can make it in the microwave for those days where the thought of a dirty saucepan is just too exhausting.
