neurodivergence

Our hearts (souls, minds…wherever you place your personhood, personality, feelings, etc.) are stronger than we know. Yours is stronger than you know and mine is too.

So when ‘it’ aches, when you are hurting, lost, sick, exhausted, feeling hopeless, numb, afraid or grieving, remember that your heart is stronger than you think.

Just a friendly reminder: You are not difficult, nothing is wrong with you, you are not a mistake, and you are not alone. If people truly love you, they should love you for who you are, like you love them. There is no shame in getting help, or asking for support. Just because you have a diagnosis or a disability does NOT mean you are less than. There is at least one person in the world that can relate to how you're feeling. It is okay to need space, and get overstimulated. Your feelings are valid. Just because you need to rest or reset, it does NOT mean you are lazy. If you're having a particularly bad day, be kind to yourself and think/or talk to yourself as if you're your own best friend. Life is hard enough as is, don't make it harder by being mean to yourself. (photo originally from Pinterest) #CheckInWithMe

I got this after losing my Mom two years ago. She was 59 and me being an only child it hit hard. Sometimes the feeling of a tattoo just feels good and I wanted to get something meaningful.

Let’s hear it for us awesome #neurodivergents who gift ourselves with surprises because we easily forget! That’s one of many upsides of being someone with frontal lobe and executive function deficit disorder and multi factorial
#ADHD (inattentive type), I don’t always remember the productive things I’ve done until I stumble across it later on. It makes the stumbling feel less like a distraction and more of a purposeful discovery. What will you accidentally gift yourself today?

The cognitive function struggles when your #RareDisease causes brain fog and #neurodivergent disorders poses difficulty in remembering can be extremely frustrating. But don’t see this as a personal flaw - you are not to blame #neurodivergentzebra

The next time your neurological and physical conditions are contending for your brain power, imagine each one as two cartoon characters. Next, visualize them playing tug of war for your brain. Let them play their silly game and imagine yourself walking right past them. This will send those characters a visual message that you’re not going to give them any more of your time or energy.

Back in the physical world, consider keeping a notebook or to-do list handy so that, as those random tasks come up you can immediately write them down - checking them off later on is oh-so satisfying! You got this 💪
