Smash :
I’m coming out of one now myself after about a year of being in it, reduce demands, drop all expectations for yourself and what other people have of you, limit social interactions even with friends and work, and most importantly give yourself grace and don’t beat yourself up about not being productive in a world where it’s seen as important to be so productive all of the time, and when you have the energy try to delve into your special interests, they will recharge you if you can find the joy during such a difficult time, hope this helps :)

Mine are getting shorter and shorter everytime due to symptom recognition and taking care of myself, surprised my friends and family stuck around for this one, recovery is so self centred

I try to use radical acceptance. I know it's not much but fighting, rejecting or trying to fix makes my suffering worse. Reduce demands if possible.

I'm struggling with the shame I feel about needing to reduce my work hours. I go into mini burnouts every other week or so and taking one extra day off of masking makes a huge difference.

Rest, indulge special interests, look after sensory needs in whichever ways fits your profile, safe foods with balanced supplements, get exercise in a way that fits you

Chérie :
What helps me is saying 3 things that I’m grateful for, even tiny things, before bed. It gives me some hope and peace so I can rest.

Needs can be needy sometimes eh? haha I don't have much advice right now but I do have sympathy. Going through a similar stage myself. What I can say is if it has passed once before it will pass once again. Be gentle with yourself, know your feelings are valid if not a little silly or illrational but still valid and sometimes exaggerated by our state. If they are being extra remember circumstances are circumstances, feelings feel and ultimately they just want us to be safe. Curiosity is key when handling emotion. Adding emotion on top of our emotions can make the load heavier, it's find when it happens just remember to give your emotions the room to tell you what you feel (Once you get the knack for it random emotion words may just pop into your head! Emotion wheels are also very handy! It becomes a puzzle to solve :) )I'm working figuring out how to rest so maybe that could be helpful too. Find dark rooms when you can give yourself permission to be cozy and happy. And remember though we feel like we are drowning we are powerful, unique and strong and that doesn't go away with rest and self kindness, it strengthens it.

I’m 46 and only had the realization that I’m Autistic two weeks ago. I feel like I’m relearning how to be human. Your videos are very helpful though so thank you!

I think what helps me is completely giving into it. Not trying to fight it but let my body come to hard stop. Making sure I nourish myself and take my meds are my only priorities. If I need to do absolutely nothing for days, that’s what I do. Then I do the bare minimum for as long as it takes to start feeling better. Everything more than that is a hard no.

Ali Soul Shine :
I'm right here with you. Trying to identify my needs without being rushed or pressured by externals. Figuring out how to listen to my body because now it's calling the shots. I've been so capable of masking and pushing through in the past, but my body won't tolerate it anymore. Everything flares up, worse sleep, misdirected energy, easily over/under stimulated.... Trying to identify the different KINDS of rest I need, and having patience and compassion for myself as I figure it out. I've also started journeling down whatever comes to me. When my brain runs in multiple directions, I find it more malleable to let it flow out, one sentence at a time (even though I'll have 6 thoughts going on while i write) it's good practice for me to slow down my thoughts. My mask will be quick to start overcommitting, overgiving, and people pleasing...so I've become a bit of a hermit over the past few years. Self care and nervous system regulation are a huge struggle for me day-to-day. Especially living back with undiagnosed/misinformed parents. I feel like I've been twiddling my thumbs in indecision while it's my body that doesn't feel safe enough to completely unmask in their vicinity. But the pressure keeps cookin and I can feel it. Doing our best, we are all just doing our best. 🫶🙏🌊♾️

Chris | AuDHD Dopamine Chaser :
I allow my body to rest. I don't force myself to do things like meet up with friends. I do, however force myself to walk outside, no matter the temperature. I engage in sensory ax that I like. 💜
