Just Blixer

Some helpful phrases I think when I’m starting to spiral:

I am not my intrusive thoughts.

This is not an emergency. I can slow down and think about what my next step is.

I’ve been through similar circumstances before and survived. I’m going to be okay.

I won’t argue with irrational thoughts.

It’s okay that I’m having these thoughts. I don’t need to act on them.

I am capable of getting through this.

Neheheheh ^^

The neurodiversity umbrella

When people hear the term neurodivergent, most common answer is autism or adhd, and nothing else.

But what exactly does it mean to be neurodivergent? The term neurodivergent is described as "people whose brain differences affect how their brain works".

This includes:

The autism spectrum

Attention deficit disorders(ADHD)

Personality disorders(NPD,BPD,ASPD etc)

Learning disabilities(dyscalculia,dyslexia,dyspraxia etc.)

Processing disorders(language and sensory etc.)

Trauma disorders(CPTSD,PTSD,RAD,DSED etc.)

Psychotic disorders(Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective, Delusion disorder etc.)

Epilepsy

Tic disorders(Tourettes syndrome,Provisional tic disorder etc.)

Dissociative disorders(DID,Dissociative amnesia, DPDR etc.)

OCD

Mood disorders(depression, bipolar etc)

And others. Point being - mental health disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders and others are also under the neurodiversity umbrella, because they affect the brain differently than the typical brain.
