Sooo…anxiety thought spirals are a thing. 🌀
What’s something you tell yourself to break the spiral?
Mine, if I’m catastrophizing: “if the whole world is on fire, get your face out of the candle.”
It makes me laugh and reminds me to get perspective first.
Communicating is a skill I seem to have lost. Getting things organized, gone.. Should I just forget about it and live my life in the shadows? Somehow it seems... wrong.

You cannot ask people "Why don't you like me?"
Right?

I think NO; they will think you weak and like you even less. Right?

So in stead of trying to fix problems, I now try the positive approach. What works, what are the upsides, what are my talents, how did I survive.
Uh..

My eyes are leaking. I suppose it's because of #MothersDay.
Weird how feelings work. I didn't know. I thought I was happy being alone. #ActuallyAutistic

My life with #ADHD#Autism#muellerweiss#rarebonedisease, all diagnosed very late in life, is quite hard. I have an unusual talent to try again, though. And now, indeed, I will try again. And in the end........ yes, I'm optimistic.
Someday I will win.
I know I should not call it "being lazy". I should try to just not get depressed. It's part of being #ActuallyAutistic
And although I kinda hate these days, tomorrow will be better for it.
I like the idea to be 'the canary in the coal mine'. If I talk about the difficulties I face at university, all other students will benefit. I could do good!
I just wish I found it easier to talk to people. #openuniversiteit#University#ActuallyAutistic
