    difficulty or inability to adjust when things don’t go according to plan isn’t a weakness, it’s just a natural autistic brain thing. Never beat yourself up about it ❤it’s the other side of the coin to why hyperfocus works so great- because when things *do* go to plan, you can enter such a fulfilling “flow state”. Not to dismiss your frustration at all though. And how awful awful awful feeling stuck is. ❤

    I loved how you pointed out the scam of self-help books…they always tell you something is wrong, but never how to go about fixing it…and if there IS something to be done, it is always an individual effort, rather than a systemic problem that is solved in the context of a community of people 🤔

    i felt like oatmeal pain! i also really struggle with unanticipated changes to my routine/plans (i.e., out of oatmeal), and when you’re already in a slump little setbacks like that can really put you out of commission for the next couple of hours. i’m glad you got your oatmeal in the end

    Dude YES YES YES.
    Spite and lying to myself are so key.
    With my ADHD, also getting screened for ASD currently but my ADHD is confirmed.. I get stuck, or in waiting mode, SO often and it makes me feel worse about myself because according to all ‘accounts’ I should be fine.
    But my brain just refuses to move. It wants the ‘right’ or ‘correct’ conditions, the routine, and when those plans get altered, ERROR 404: function not found.
    Thank you for this, thank you for your honesty, much love and peace to you 🖤

    I find it hard to adjust to made plans as well. I think that's due to me not feeling being good enough and I always feel like I have to do more, be better, make less mistakes and sometimes I only can seem to make it wrong. I've been having a rough couple of weeks as well since going to a therapist for the first time in my life and now all those new realisations or observations hit me and my emotions are all over the place... Right now it doesn't really seem like a thing I will survive in a day. But I know why I'm doing it. And maybe being part of the pocket pages community will help me heal a bit. So far I've been enjoying my time there since Friday and am looking forward to reading gathering Moss.

    I do want to read tho bc I went through my books and wiped down my shelves and made a donate pile, so everything I have I'm excited about reading soon.
    Thanks for always being real about where you're at, it reminds me I'm not alone and there's a bunch of us out here going from surviving to thriving on a regular basis. ✨️

    I just read the Four Agreements also and I agree with all of your critiques! All of his weird examples I was like ...really? Although, I think the gossip one was more about someone lying about people versus actually spreading useful info, which is what gossip is good for! It's a very male take to think gossip is just to cause drama and not actually for survival sometimes.
    Also, don't know if youre looking for a new carrot salad recipe, but we make ours with a dressing of oil, lemon juice and ginger, and then top it with parsley, chopped almonds and candied dates!

I hope your health has improved during your time away and you are resting and finding joy as much as possible 🫂❤️

    @feliciya7152 Год назад

    Okay, hi. I just came here to say that if you like the concept of the carrot salad you should try grating the carrots into smaller pieces and mixing them with equally small apple gratings. Put a bit of lemon juice in there and they won't turn brown plus it makes a lovely seasoning. OR you can mix the carrot gratings with yoghurt (trust me, it tastes better than it sounds. Though tastes are subjective especially for us neurospicy humans so idk there is always a chance you might hate it sorry) and add some spices and oil. My Mom always made these when I was little and they make for a lovely salad/side dish or dessert. Anyway, loved the video as always. Thank you for creating a safe space that feels very healing and comforting. Wishing you more days of joy and less days of pain ❤ much love ✨

  • @DillyBlue
    @DillyBlue Год назад

    The whole idea of 'manifesting' has always given me an icky feeling. It reminds me of televangelists telling people that they wouldn't be sick or poor if they just prayed harder. But I guess with the example that you use, I can see how someone could approach it in a way that is basically just cognitive behavioural therapy. Because of my OCD, I know I have to be extra careful when it comes to magical thinking (most therapists and psychologists will advise patients with OCD to avoid anything to do with manifesting), but I'm all for setting goals, surrounding yourself with what inspires you, and having a growth mindset!

  • @chaoticash513
    @chaoticash513 Год назад

    I also get migraines. You could be very different from me, but I wanted to share some of the things that cause mine and what helps in case it might help you! Eating chocolate is one of my triggers, as well as not eating and too much stimulation. Chocolate was easy for me to cut out bc there are so many sweets I prefer to chocolate. Not eating was tough bc I get hyper focused on tasks and forget to eat, so I have to schedule regular meal times. If I know I'm going to be doing a task that I won't wanna pause for food during I make sure I have snacks with me. For the stimulation - I make sure to wear sunglasses when I'm going to be in a bright space, which is normally outside, but also sometimes when I'm somewhere that has big windows that let a lot of light in (note - overcast days also REALLY mess with my brain so I also make sure to wear them on overcast days too). I have black out curtains on all of my windows for when I'm feeling overstimulated I can cut out more lights. Scents also over stimulate my brain into migraine mode and I haven't found a way to deal with it other than unscented everything. Scented laundry detergent makes me so incredibly ill. I used to get them multiple times a week, but now I get them every couple of months.

    Random advice lobbed from the internet: Carrots, cut into 1/2" diagonal chunks, roasted with a tiny bit of olive oil and sumac seasoning is probably the closest you'll ever get to the divine. I may be overstating that a bit, but if you want carrots that don't have to be peeled with that peeler that had me cringing the whole time and watching through my fingers to make sure you didn't de-glove your wrists with it -- sumac. Find you some sumac and roast 'em. Yum. :D

    Alli there are a lot of variations to make the carrot salad more interesting! I like the namasu version (like daikon w/ carrots but in this case only carrots lol), or you can make it with a splash of soy sauce, sesame oil and lemon juice OR if you are not feeling like mixing anything just add some sesame dressing. The carrots are still raw so it should work for what you want! C: (I unironically love carrots so I’ve found a few ways to eat it that make me feel more “accomplished” than just chomping on the carrot by itself lmao)
