Are we neurodivergents somehow extra proficient in being aware of oneselves of vairous characteristics of our everyday ehaviour, emotions, expressions etc' ? Is this a sign of us being more mindful and knowledgeable, or, on the contrary, *because* some of us are very aware of what is going on inside them, compared to the mainstream awareness of a neurotypical individual, this rather means that we are not actually affected by a special condition but rather only aware of what is going on in ourselves (as opposed to others) and there isn't much more to that?

I am always confused and discouraged...does me being aware only speak for my good awareness of self, or does it cobfirm my diversity? #Asperger #Autism #BipolarDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder

Empathy can be frightening if you do not really have the capacity or the self-discipline to regulate your emotional involvement in what and who sorrounds you. When your mind is vulnerable, and such are your feelings, and you are easily impressed and impulsive in your reactions and untrained in creating emotional distance, empathy can literally become a weapon you might consciously or subconsciously turn against yourself and lacerate yourself with, instead of using what you learned from the other to emotionally grow. You become too much involved in that other, you attempt to become one and it drags you into an insanely powerful, destructive spiral dragging you down in a breathtaking speed into the abyss of uncontrollable, interrelated emotions and perceptions, all demanding a super-human effort to disconnect oneself from.
It is not only addictive and dangerous. It is deadly. It makes you substitute yourself with what you perceive from the other and want to see (and feel!) of them.
Your soul, as vulnerable and impressive and tender as it is, is not predestined to carry such heavy weight. You will collapse if giving more than you can carry yourself, and no one profit from it, nor save you from your misery.
Just don't. #Asperger #Autism #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #BipolarDisorder

I am so hyperfixated on a person and no clue how to deal with it even though I have this trait since early childhood. Am diagnosed with Asperger's, Bipolar and BPD. What to do? I am so ashamed of bothering that specific person all the time even though they are very accepting of my attachment to them..... #Asperger #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #BipolarDisorder
