searching for kindness in myself and others

[healinghamster]

hi!

☁️ i have adhd, depression and a bunch of other comorbid things + some chronic pain and migraines

☁️ i am still recovering and will be on this journey for a long time so i would be glad if this could become a safe place for me and others

dni if you are any type of discriminatory (homophobic, transhobic, racist, ablest etc) or exclusionist! this is a safe inclusive space!

nice to meet you and hope you find healing here (♡˙︶˙♡) i reblog and try to post things i wish were there when i was yonger so if it helps you i will be so very happy!

p.s. my main tumblr is @worriesandoodles where i post thoughts about art and some pictures! i also follow people from there (♡˙︶˙♡)

p.s. 2 from 24.03.27 - i dont have as much time or energy to keep up with this blog but i see all the reblogs and i dont want to delete it because ultimately it is still a nice safe place for me too. maybe i will throw in some resources posts when i collect enough of them too! if you want to see more of my art/doodles including the healing ones you can find me on my main and on art only @ doodlesnworries

the most helpful thing i have ever seen from neurodivergent internet spaces is “THERE ARE OTHER TIMES OF DAY TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH”. this has genuinely saved me from executive dysfunction spirals so many times.

Dear december, may you treat us with care and a great gentleness. May you be a soft end of the year filled with comfort and good news and hope for the new year. May you both be a gentle end and a gentle beginning. And may you bring a little extra light and a little extra magic into our lives. 🌸

Shoutout to all those who really want or need to do something but can’t because of chronic pain. I hope that tomorrow is more comfortable for you.

Doing things you like is not a waste of time. Watching series, playing video games, listening to podcasts, being creative etc. If it makes you happy, it doesn't matter that you're not productive during that time, what matters is that you are enjoying yourself, generating happiness. Those are the BEST moments. Chilling, relaxing, having fun. Don't let people guilt you into not enjoying the best parts of your day.

Im gonna shill for Marie Kondo again but this is why I find her books (yes, books, the TV show is fun but ultimately misses a lot of the core ideas) so good.

A lot of home org advice fully misses this aspect. Kondo not only acknowledges it, but leans into it. And ultimately this helps motivste me to keep my space tidy - it's really hard to me to keep on the nebulous goal of self-care, but much easier to get up and put things away if I envision my salt and pepper grinders as like, retail workers who are now standing in an empty shop (my dining table) and just wanna go home (the spice rack where they live).

Normie tidying process: that heater should be put away for summer! I mean, I'm not gonna need it

Me: well it's just chilling and also I can't be arsed.

Kondo: that heater has done a good job keeping you warm over winter and now it should get to go have a rest in the cupboard

Me: !! Sabbatical for my heater!! Thank you for your service sir and have a very nice break!

Baby steps are important. It's easy to get started with baby steps and they build bigger and bigger momentum over time for you to do things you would not have been able to jump right into or start with. Starting small is powerful.

It is so hard to hold on to hope and remain soft in world where those in power are so cruel and callous but we must persist we have to hold on to the hope the world does not have to be this way

repeat after me:

on the other side of fear, there is relief. on the other side of fear, there is success. on the other side of fear, there is love. on the other side of fear, there is joy. on the other side of fear, there is contentment. on the other side of fear, there is result. i decide that my fear is not an ocean; it is a line.

if you’re offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that i’m just leaving it there for when you get back and not expecting you to answer straight away. i don’t need you to respond with “hey, sorry, i wasn’t at the computer!” or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.

[slightmayhem]

This also applies if you’re online and just don’t want to or have the energy to deal with humans in the moment. Just because we have the ability to reply in real time does not mean we have the obligation.

you're not always going to feel good. that's fine. you're allowed to feel your negative emotions.

[only-knives]

hi you! here's your daily/nightly reminder that:

your voice should be heard.

your health is important.

your pain is not insignificant or lesser than others'.

you are not on this earth to be "productive."

you are the only one who can define your experiences.

you are cared for, even if only by strangers. we care.

now go stretch, hydrate, nourish, and lay down (if you can). just do your best, and don't worry if other's think it isn't enough. it is, and im proud of you.
