Social media post reading "Check in on your queer friends with ADHD/AuDHD right now cuz their Justice Sensitivity combined with their Rejective Sensitive Dysphoria means that they are both acutely aware of how fucked up things are *and* also feel personally responsible for fixing it *while* dealing with the helplessness inherent in the reality that individual action is not gonna do it this time. This means that their brains/bodies are going into overdrive and also that they are feeling guilty for any kind of self-care or joy in their lives because their brain weasels are telling them that resting or being happy while others cannot/are ot is selfish. it's an exhausting state, and we're not OK." The author also includes ideas on how to regulate, such as understanding the mental processes so one can be proactive vs. reactive, taking deep breaths and dropping into one's physical senses, reminding yourself that nobody can carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, combat paralysis by making lists of small doable actions and letting what you can do be enough, recognizing that peace and joy are necessary for survival, and doing deep breathing and grounding exercises.

It's my birthday! The big 5-0!!!

Logged off the Zuck place for the week to support the boycott. This will be a chance to explore this platform. Not sure if I'll go back or not. Hoping to see more friends posting here, and less offensive propaganda. ::fingers crossed::
