Like can I message someone who isn’t bothered by manic rambling and/or repetition??? I won’t use caps I just need to rant for a while abt nothing and everything at the same time lol

If u wouldn’t mind just lemme know

It was good for me to get out of my own head today. Talked with a counselor and she’s known me forever and she said she could tell that something was up.

Came up with a game plan

Now I have to do school work in exchange for going home early, that was the agreement lmfao rip

[autibubble]

I’m really sorry for making + deleting so many posts as soon as they were made. I’m 85% sure I was manic (I’m prof dxed with bipolar????) or something similar, could be an autism thing. idk BUT I’m super sorry if I worried, confused, or caused anyone anxiety. All those posts were real. I just was all over the place lol  I’m feeling better now, ish. Still kinda ranty and rambly but! I can hopefully channel that energy into classwork.  Thank you for understanding if you will, if not then I totally get it, it messes me up when people delete posts that I go to reference when talking about something related.

“Well personally I think you’re not autistic” well personally I thought New York was the capital of America for a while but that didn’t mean the atlas started rewriting itself now did it

On Discovering That You're Autistic

How Allistics Assume It Went: Oh woe, I am cursed with a defective, inferior brain! No-one must know my shame. Please pity me. How It Actually Went: So there’s a reason I’m this way? And there are other people out there who are like me? BAHAHA this is great! No more forcing myself to act “normal” even in the privacy of my own home! No more guilt over being a “weirdo”! To celebrate I’m going to wrap myself in six blankets, crawl under the table and make cat noises for an hour 🐱

mmmmmMMMMMMMMMM I’m so excited and flappy!!!!!!!!!!! Loud text is nice nice nice... I’ll probably just “yell” to myself in a text doc.

Nothing good happened but there’s a couple things that are good still and I’m so EXCITED for no reason other than past things

Moreeee Special Interests

Sometimes I go a while not even acknowledging that I’m autistic Bc nothing is out of the ordinary or noticeable to others/myself and then things like this happen

I think?? My SIs have adapted to include sea life!!!! Sharks and jellyfish are my ABSOLUTE fav

So I’m finding Lego sea creature build instructions and I’m gonna buy a bunch of classic Lego sets once I get a job (by a bunch I mean like MAYBE 3 max) and I’m gonna make SHARKS!!!!

also like?!! I wanna learn and study sharks and jellyfish Bc they’re my favorite rn and I wanna learnnnnnn!!!!!

This is a horribly long post lol but I’m exciteddddd!!!!!

My goals are basically to be healthy, be happy or okay, nurture plants, take bath bomb baths regularly, make money, make art frequently, and love those who need to be loved.

Someday I can do all of those things, but today I can at least love and make art. That’ll have to be enough for me for now..!

Hmph someone woke me up by pounding on the door... I’m actually irritated as hell.

In other news, I’ve been keeping a gratitude log in my digital bullet journal and it’s been really nice to have something positive on the bad days.

Speaking of positive!! I now have a collection of four (4) slow rising squishies!!!! They’re super cute and soft and amazing and it’s sensory heaven.

So there’s a lil update for everyone since I haven’t posted in a while!

I’ve cleaned so much and there’s so much more to clean

New Year’s Eve is fun..!! Lots of food which is chill and get to spend time w my fam so that’s good.

But I made it. I made it another year.. I’m so proud of all of us who made it.

[autibubble]

I’m all alone and I’m trying to make it fun instead of wallowing about how alone I am.. hunker down my friends, it’s time to make a plan..! 3-ishpm starting.

These seem to be in order but will be done at random as my energy levels fluctuate.

1. Draw! Make art

2. Maybe play M//ario od//yss//ey? Or L//oZ

3. Maybe play ark

4. Paint my nails!

5. Find cool apps for the iPad and maybe buy procreate to draw with if I have the funds

6. Maybe start my min//ecraft Lego set

7. Squish my squishy :p

8. Make hot cocoa

9. Finish watching howls moving castle

10. Read through draw with Jazza’s creating characters book!!

I decided to stop at 10 but this was a good idea Bc now I have a loose plan for the day.

A late package came for me from a family member!!

Two of my special interests combined...

Lego Minecraft set.

Aaaaaa!!!!!!!

Post-Meltdown Suggestions

Have a shower/bath - this one really helps me. Maybe add some nice smelling bubble bath or shower gel, and relax for a while. This can be good for muscles that have been tensed during the meltdown. 

Drink - have a glass of water, or your favourite drink, because it’s easy to feeling dehydrated afterwards but not necessarily recognise that it’s dehydration. 

Eat - maybe just a small snack to raise your blood sugar a little, or your favourite food for some sensory heaven.

Special Interests - do something to do with a special interest to feel more positive. Read, watch, write, explore, infodump - just something to do with it!

Nap - sometimes it’s the only way to properly reset your body. 

Deep pressure - a weighted blanket or a very tight and long hug from a loved one or friend can seriously help you calm and feel better. 

Stim - do some positive stimming, rocking, flapping using stim toys or whatever you find best. 

Feel free to add more or expand on these!
