For healing that stems from being unsafe, out of control and/or powerless: yeah, this definitely checks out, feeling safe, in control and capable is an essential part of healing.

Unfortunately, that experience isn't always available. If you're in a country at war, or an undocumented migrant in the current US, for example, feeling genuinely safe is not going to be on the table and the cause of that unsafety is beyond your control.

In such situations, you can trick your nervous system a bit to give it some of those experiences anyway.

For experiences of safety: try to cover your basic physical needs if possible (food, drink, warmth, rest, caring for physical injuries) and try to build routine, rhythm and familiarity into your life if possible. That could be making tea every morning, or praying at set times, or playing your favorite song every evening before bed. Whatever fits your situation: routines are gonna help your nervous system feel stable and less constantly unsafe.

For experiences of control and capableness: try to regularly do little things that affirm your sense of accomplishment. Fixing your bike, doing a crossword puzzle, learning to play a new song on your guitar, putting on make-up in a way that makes you feel stunning, finish a level of a video game. Again: whatever is available to you. Little moments of 'fuck yeah i did this' help your nervous system feel like you are capable of things and less constantly powerless.

This isn't going to totally save you from the constant stress of your situation, but it can reduce the worst of the stress and make life a little more manageable in the situation that you find yourself in.

Had a medic shift at a festival recently. People came up to me panicking, telling me that a diabetic person with a cognitive disability had just walked to the drinks stall and started drinking pure lemonade syrup. Surely this was suicidal? Should they call an ambulance???

I walked up to the person, asked them why they're eating so much sugar. Their answer: "blood sugar too low". They were self-medicating a hypo. They knew what they were doing. I hung around a bit to make sure they were okay and watched them monitor their own blood sugar by the book.

Please folks, talk to people before you assume that you know better. People with disabilities. People with psychosis, mania or hallucinations. Neuroatypical people who communicate through cards or writing tools. Try to communicate before jumping to conclusions. Most people understand more than you think about their own needs.

Don't just go to a medic or other form of help behind someones back. That's really not okay and can get people in real trouble. Bypassing someone's autonomy like that is a huge call to make. It shouldn't be the first thing you do.

EDIT: For the record, for the people in the notes: I later had a conversation with the people who came up to me and learned that they were not ignorant about how diabetes works. They knew what a hypo was, they knew that medicating it involves eating sugary foods. If the person had not had a cognitive disability, they probably would have interpreted the situation correctly.

But because the person had a cognitive disability, they saw them drinking pure lemonade syrup and assumed that this person was ignorantly putting their own life in danger. They did not see self-medication because they assumed the person wasn't capable of self-medication. And worse, they then assumed that there would be no point communicating with that person about it and talked to me instead.

Understanding diabetes is valuable and more people should learn about it, but this story is not about ignorance, it's about the ableism of assuming other people's capabilities and bypassing their autonomy.
