On Friday, I had a friend date at the art gallery, and by the end, I was in so much pain and so fatigued I had to cancel my plans for Saturday and move them to Sunday.
Sunday was also fantastic, but before we were even halfway through, I was ready to go in the house and take some pain meds, and sleep in my lift chair. I didn't, but by the time I came in, my legs felt like massive balloons. I will be deflating for a few days/weeks 😅

Calmer days, calmer mind…
As I've been sharing here, I have had some pretty hectic and dramatic weeks behind me. Every time I thought I could get some peace of mind, some time for me to relax and recharge, something else happened. And, I just kept going. But, it wasn't without a cost... In the end, I did pay the price and I know it was worth it. But that didn't make it a lot easier to deal with it... If that makes sense... 🤔 I mean, I wanted to have good times with friends. I wanted to help my parents when they needed me. I wanted to be there for Arwen when she needed me. And then, I just wanted to relax because, in all honesty, I needed me...

I just hurt the person I love because I am overstimulated and snapped at them while they themselves were wrestling with complex emotions.
I apologized and let them know it was not their fault but man, I wish it'd be easier to recognize when I'm reaching my limit. It's frustrating to notice after the fact that I wasn't in any condition to navigate any kind of conflict because then it's obviously too late. Haven't quite figured that one out yet and I gather I never will entirely. So all I have are accountability and self-compassion.

I used to think I was #introverted.
Socializing and public exhausts me, and I eventually get #overstimulated and #anxious and just need to leave, and find some peace alone.
However I think I am actually an #extrovert and socializing exhausts me due to having to constantly fight my #tourettes related tics, which almost never stop, and I have to focus and put effort into fighting, so I don't seem like a total manic.
So I need a break after a while.

@GeePawHill @jitterted 😱😂 I guess I'm a minimalist, in this: right now my phone is at 50% brightness + "night mode" (blue reduced) + "dark mode" (white text on black), to make all these excellent pixels on my retina display stop shouting at me. #overstimulated

My mom is being my absolute favorite superhero today. I was supposed to go grocery shopping today. I was supposed to go to our two local stores to get the best prices. I am currently overstimulated and anxious and feel like a time bomb waiting to explode. My mom, knowing that grocery shopping is an overwhelming experience and would make things worse, volunteered to do my shopping. She wins best human today.

I’m pretty sure both my misses and my son made a pact on the drive home that I must be touched or called by either one of them as a tag team until one or both go to sleep.

So fed up of stupid questions/remarks and trying to hug me, while laughing and asking if she’s upset me.

Very overstimulated, I need another pair of flare on top of these ones today. My exes voice is grating on me and making me want to pull my skin off (not new, just worse today 😜)
Plus, he’s weasled out of buying pizza again, so now I have to cook something.
Think I’m going to have to ask him to leave.

Friends who get #Overstimulated be it #Autism #ADHD or otherwise: Do you feel like you have enough healthy coping mechanisms? Are you comfortable sharing some? For me, one that I try to use a lot is to simply disappear. Excuse myself to a bathroom or somewhere otherwise safe to #disassociate in until I can "hear myself think" again. #cannabis also has been promising, but sometimes doesn't act as fast as necessary in social situations. I think I've seen this called to #elope before

Things being #ActuallyAutistic has taught me:
If I get overstimulated or uncomfortable: Life won't stop
If things get to be too much: Life won't stop
What can stop is the energy put into negativity.When I get #overstimulated, I can step away and #refocus to bring myself back or put a new spin on the situation.
The best days happen when I can control where my energy goes, because while it doesn't help with executive dysfunction, it does help with #stress and #anxiety. Progress not perfection

Friday night in #Paris and it's all I can do not to crawl under a blanket and watch a Hallmark movie

@ashleyspencer One very discernible way I #masked was to actively avoid people when I was #overstimulated or to try and prevent the same. Doing tasks at weird hours. Ordering online instead of visiting stores. Shopping malls are the worst. Choosing weird hours to have lunch at work, and eating at my desk. I like people, but in small doses please. #autism #strategies #coping @actuallyautistic
