If you're reading this I want you to know something. You are not too much. You are exactly enough. And I appreciate that so much about you. Thank you for being you. 🤗❤️

This just in: I am far, far, far (far) too sensitive to be looking at the cat shelter website. I have zero business being here. Also, forget opening that trauma/ADHD focused rehab dream, I'm adopting 12 FIV positive cats, some missing eyes. (I'm not, but I kind of want to.)

Knowing you adds value. Trauma Brain will try to convince you otherwise-- it's probably trying to do so right now, even as you read this-- but remember: Trauma Brain is not about truth. It's about making you feel a certain kind of way. Your existence adds value to the world.

Nobody reading this needs to be lectured about how "struggle builds character." Almost everybody reading this-- & the person writing this-- needs to be reminded that we have nothing to prove. That our "character" is not in question-- nor is our worthiness.

Survivors who conquer fear first have to acknowledge it. I mean really acknowledge it-- without shame, without demanding we not feel it, without insisting there's something "bad" or "wrong" or "childish" about it. What we don't acknowledge controls & limits us. Screw that.

Flock Names [Comic Panel Thread - Part 1 of 8] The thread below illustrates varied bird species names and the fun names given to their flock, alongside suggestions on what to call duos of those birds. Read the full version in scroll format here: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/cr...

The fact that you're f*cking alive & f*cking reading this right now means you're better at recovery than your trauma conditioning wants you to believe. It wants you to imagine you're helpless & hopeless-- but your existence here & know proves otherwise. Remember.

Why do so many people pretend like there's some magical perfect way to communicate that clearly doesn't exist? And why is it that autistic people are somehow. always. wrong. no matter how much we contort ourselves to do it the only. correct. way. which changes from one moment to the next? 🤔

4 facts about autism and ADHD that you probably didn't know... 1. According to research, up to 80% of children with an autism diagnosis also meet the criteria for ADHD and up to 50% of children with an ADHD diagnosis also meet the criteria for autism, BUT...

The most elegant, sophisticated, cool sounding recovery "plan" isn't an actual plan unless it points to what we can do, realistically, today, w/ the tools & bandwidth we have (not that we wish we had), to be 1% safer & more stable. Focus on realistic & doable, not cool-sounding.

How much are you willing to accommodate others to maintain a connection with them? If they have to be able to attend loud/crowded/expensive places, that's cutting out a ton of people. If you're only 'friends' with people who never challenge or ask anything of you, what sort of friends are they?

Let's talk about why ADHD without physical hyperactivity is called ADHD and not ADD. So back in the 80s (when I was growing up) the diagnosis was just ADD. But there were two types... ADD *with* hyperactivity and ADD without.

There are gonna be many times in this whole "recovery" thing when we believe, wholeheartedly, that we "can't" do it. I can confirm this quite personally. And-- we're going have to show up for ourselves anyway. Just show up. Belief in recovery-- & yourself-- will follow.

You're going to run into people out there who truly believe that if you survived what happened to you, you've been through the "worst" of it. They don't know, & we won't really be able to explain it to them. Just work your recovery. This is about you & now, not them or then.

One of the most important day to day-- minute to minute!-- tasks of trauma recovery is watching for your abusers' & bullies' words coming from your mouth or going through your head. Don't let that sh*t slide. Scratch the record every single time you notice it happening.

I don't think people realize how debilitating sensory overload can be. It's not just feeling anxious sometimes from a little overstimulation... for a lot of people it's constant and compounding to the point of not being able to function.

Survivors often grow up believing the way to get ourselves to take action is through pressure or shame, because that's what was done to us-- but in recovery we realize "beat the sh*t out of yourself, just because" isn't a sustainable or successful life strategy. Who knew?
