I've Had This Little Idea In My Head For A While Now, So I Decided To Sit Down And Plot It Out.

some cats don't like to be touched and that's fine. that's their perogative and I respect it

Is it an ADHD thing to not realize you're in pain or not be able to recognize the source of pain? I just spent 6 hours feeling awful because I had a really bad headache, but couldnt figure out what was wrong until my mom asked be why i was being so grumpy. Also, i just wanted to thank you for the way you actually talk about your experiences with ADHD and Autism and being Nonbinary. Also the cursed stuff is cool too.

self-regulation tends to be more difficult when you have adhd/autism. it’s good to get in the habit of pausing for a few minutes and consciously making an assessment:

what is my biggest current source of pain/discomfort? how can I change that? should i take a pain reliever? 

am i hungry? how’s my blood sugar? when did i last eat

how’s my general level of anxiety/overstimulation?

how’s the noise level? could i benefit from wearing earplugs?

am i too warm/cold? should i put on/take off a layer?

am i thirsty? are my lips dry? could i use water/chapstick?

if i could do one thing to make myself more comfortable in the next hour, what would it be?

try setting a timer and doing this every 2 hours or so. soon it gets to be automatic (i still set timers sometimes when i know my day is going to be busy). on a related note, it’s good to carry around a ‘self-regulation grab bag’ (mine has painkillers, granola bars, ear plugs, water, chapstick, lotion, etc)

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

social media has a way of inspiring dangerous thoughts, like, “maybe I personally have some useful nuance to add to one of the ugliest and most intractable conflicts in the world”
