BFRBs

Body-Focused Repetetive Behaviors often co-exist with neurodivergence. I began biting my nails by age 3 and by adolescence, I began picking at my skin. By age 30, I experienced multiple burnouts and with this, always a worsening of my bfrbs. These behaviors functioned as a coping mechanism for stress as well as a decompression tool. It also served as a default activity in times of boredom or restlessness. Do you experience BFRBs? If so, do you also associate it with neurodiversity or being neurodivergent? #BodyFocusedRepetitiveBehaviors #BFRB #ADHD #Autism #sensoryseeking #hyperactive

#52SmallThings Hydration tip

I didn't do last week's, but I really want to do this week's small thing, especially with how dry/itchy my skin gets this time of year.

Here's a tip to stay hydrated: it doesn't have to be pure water. Pure water is best, and make sure you're managing your salt, sugar, and caffeine intake properly (I'm not a doctor). But you don't have to drink pure water only for hydration. Gatorade, Powerade, juice, tea, etc. all hydrate you. Alcohol won't, but other than that you're pretty much golden.

With my #ADHD #SensoryIssues and #sensoryseeking I don't drink nearly enough water, but juice and other drinks are better than nothing!
