I am so blessed to have studied witchcraft in my younger years so I can incorporate it during my busy life. Especially when my mental illness acts up and I can't focus enough to study short term, I have enough background knowledge to help me be success in my craft still. In fact, the background knowledge such as grounding, breathing exercises, and shielding all help me maintain a sense of stability.

Its also crucial for my identity, which is something alot of people with borderline struggle with. Witchcraft is not all that I am, but it certainly is a huge basis for me and something I am known for courtsey of my scorpio midheaven.

All in all, I'm blessed to have my current skillset. It really does help me.

So früh schon wurde ich, weil introvertiert, hochsensibel / neurodivergent, mit meinen Bedürfnissen und Eigenheiten nicht wirklich verstanden und daher nicht entsprechend akzeptiert, geschweige denn respektiert, daß mich das Gefühl, ich sollte (jemand) anders sein, fast mein gesamtes Leben begleitet.

Und so tief sitzt, daß ich immer im Außen geschaut habe - und sein wollte wie diese und jene Person bzw Charakter.

Das sehe und verstehe ich nun so richtig. Und so wende ich mich mir zu. Lerne mich kennen. Ganz in Ruhe, ganz für mich. Und was mir gefällt, was mir Freude bereitet und mich entspannt? All das tue ich. Und lerne, mich nicht mehr vor mir selbst zu entschuldigen; dafür, daß ich mein Leben so lebe, wie es mir gut tut.

Ich atme so frei und ruhig wie lange nicht.

i think more than a few people who know of keith but don't know keith think that like, keith is trying to be edgy and mysterious? sense he's always on his own and seems to always be scowling.

but the truth is, keith is just neurodivergent. he's not scowling, his neutral face just looks similar.

Not sure if I just missed someone else talking about it, but I am having THOUGHTS about the parallels of Taylor saying maybe everything isn't about you, and Buck after he finds out about Daniel saying sorry about your dead son but can we talk about me for a minute, and Eddie saying if that's how you feel, how they made you feel...

Just, the validation Eddie offers that even in the cases it's not necessarily about Buck, that his feelings still matter and he's allowed to have and process them, vs Taylor trying to be helpful but ultimately telling Buck (who has noticed that the people he spends 98% of his time with are acting differently and is justified in being concerned), that he's basically just seeing things in order make things about him and he needs to let it go. I don't think she's being malicious, I do genuinely think she's trying to help, but without understanding who Buck is as a person and what he needs to hear that will actually be helpful and not harmful for him.

I was at one of those small scale festivals with the food trucks and the live music last night with my family. They made us sit tight at the front, so of course there were four bands there instead of one. The one one on stage, the one in by brain, and the two blaring the sax in my ear canals. I’m extremely sensitive when it comes to noises, so I pulled my phone out to try to distract me from it (and the freezing weather too) and my mom made put it away because phone bad or whatever. So I just had to sit there on the edge of a panic attack because I had nothing to get me through it. Eventually she noticed that I looked a mixture of bored and uncle and moved her chair next to mine. At this point I had managed to calm myself down and just accept the volume of the band so I wouldn’t ruin everyone else’s experience. Like mentioned before, however, I was bored, understimulated- because again, I wasn’t allowed on my phone. To cope with this I had to stim, so I did the leg bouncing thing. My mom told me to calm down and asked what I was anxious about (little late for that). I told her the leg bouncing was ‘just a regular habit’ cause she’s never going to understand stemming. She told me that it “probably causes anxiety” so I shouldn’t do it. Normally I’d just drop it and move on because she gets so defensive when confronted, but at this point I’d had it and snapped back that it didn’t, and that it was actually more like the opposite, and that she wouldn’t know and should stop pretending she does. She told me to stop being defensive and that it was just her opinion. I dropped it there, like I should’ve a while ago. But I wanted to tell her so badly to stop acting like everything is a matter of opinion. Either stimming does or doesn’t cause anxiety for me, objectively, and the truth is that it doesn’t. I’m still pissed about how everything went down, but I can’t tell my mom that or she’ll start another one of those conversations where I feel worse afterwards than before. I thought that things would get better once I stopped hiding my mental problems from my mom, but I can confidently say that absolutely nothing has changed. Oh, and I forgot to mention that my brother was allowed on his phone because fuck me I guess.

Hey just feel like I should say something about this, so asshole if you're seeing this take note. PEOPLE DON'T LOOK NEURODIVERGENT. Things like autism and adhd are, you guessed it, NEUROLOGICAL... THEY IN YA BRAIN. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE WHAT SO EVER. Plus you said they where "too hot to be autistic or whatever"... Like buddy idk how to break this to you but yes their neurodivergent and yes their hot, what do you want me to do? Take it back? Sorry bitch, no backsies. Like imagine going to a neurologist and saying " hey, I'm to sexy to be autistic, so this diagnosis is WRONG" like bestie you just sound dumb. And I'm sorry if I'm being harsh but I really have 0 tolerance for ableists 🥰

Julia is my new best friend

She is your new best friend

I will not be taking questions at this time.

So uhh..

About the Cosplay Craftsmanship Cup..

Expectation:

Reality:

Holy fuck these really are the big leagues

I have adhd which means I simultaneously have no object permanence (if something leaves my sight it ceases to exist) and also too much object permanence (if something leaves my sight it stays exactly the same no matter how much time has passed)

this is why it’s fine for time to pass for the people I interact with on a regular basis but not for people I don’t interact with at least semi-occasionally

thank you for coming to my ted talk.

capgrasgender: a gender relating to, but not exclusive to, capgras delusion; feeling like yourself or others around you are imposters and not real or to be trusted. made for neurodivergent folk in mind. loosely based on the music video "mr capgras encounters a secondhand vanity" by will wood and the tapeworms.

some pronouns may include:

❓/❓self

void/voids/voidself

so i haven't seen anyone post ANYTHING about this, and i feel this gender deeply, so here u go

dad cant shame me for spending 40 minutes in th shower singing i am Nerudorivutgr and a Minor

Can someone answer this for me so I can explain it to Kiddo

Back when I was a teenager at more then one point a person who bullied me or spread rumours about me or who was otherwise decidedly not my friend pretended to be one in a public space

They sat next to me and we're all smiles "oh my gosh I haven't talked to you in SO long! How are you!?"

And I would respond "we're not friends. We have never been friends. I don't like you because you are mean to me and I don't want you to sit here and I'm not going to play whatever game you're trying so please go away."

And people around acted like I threatened to kill the person's entire family and dog. Like I threatened them with some kind of specific and graphic torture.

Like some people told me I was badass for that but a lot of people were just shocked and I was now the bad guy for asking to be left alone

I did not understand at the time and I don't understand now. Why is saying "we aren't friends please don't try and act like we are" is so shocking and bad?

FINALLY!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!
