i don't know who needs to here this, but just know that the way you feel is valid.

even if you feel overwhelmed by nothing but anxiety and know it's not an outer thing bothering you, the way you feel is valid. . .and don't let anyone tell you it's not!

Making new friends on this beautiful morning. Fun Fact: 99% of Haitians have an irrational fear of frogs. If you ever want to see a grown man jump and scream, this is the key 🐸😅 ・・・ #growninhaiti #frog #amphibian #biodiversity #gardenfriends #garden #haiti #ayiti #irrationalfears #scareahaitian #halloween #foodforest #agroforestry https://www.instagram.com/p/B3PKs_kl-8c/?igshid=14dom7hw0w9v

Recently I remembered something from my childhood...

We were talking about TV shows we watched as a kid at lunch. We them moved on to talking about irrational fears we have, washing machines, pancakes, the koolaid man, you know, the usual stuff. Then I remembered that when I was six, my parents told me about what communism was. I then watched Lazytown and realized it was a communist government. My mom turned it on. I was to scared to watch, she asked why, and I responded with, “Lazytown is a Communist agenda. I will not support that. I’m no commie, mommy.”

Irrational fears & SPD

Having Sensory Processing Disorder (“SPD”) means I deal with anxiety and fear, fear that can sometimes be irrational, particularly when it comes to illness.

That doesn’t mean I’m irrational it just means my fears are. It’s important we’re given as much time as we need to work through our fears. Anxiety caused by fears seep into our everyday lives.

When it comes to anxiety, it’s important parents recognise the importance of figuring out triggers and why certain issues become triggers. Each child will have different triggers, but it is important they have coping strategies.

Not knowing I had Autism (Asperger’s) as a child, meant I continued to struggle mentally and emotionally, and coupled with bad thoughts, my anxiety and fear was continual. With SPD we need to be prepared for all eventualities.

Having that just knowing feel is soothing and reassuring, fear when not knowing at all. Not knowing increases the severity of a reaction. Children must be ready to anticipate each issue as it presents. With SPD it’s easy for us to get caught out.

Because I have SPD, new circumstances increase my anxiety and that creates irrational fears: irrational fears where I simply fail to cope.
