Tim McTuffty<p>Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 643 , Friday 01/08/2025</p><p>Sleeping was a challenge last night - took me ages to find a position that didn’t hurt.</p><p>Today has been a mix of sleep &amp; reading. <br>I’ve finished reading the 1666 book - it was fascinating - feels like 2025 is something of a run up to a repeat! </p><p>Started reading Douglas Adams’s ‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency’, I honestly don’t know why it has taken me so long to read it. It is classic Adam’s &amp; I’m loving it! </p><p>Pizza for tea - I’m working on the theory that this thing is gonna get worse before it gets better so I wanted to make the most of it while I still felt like it.</p><p>Final Thoughts.</p><p>I hope this is a bug, I hope it passes soon! </p><p>Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each &amp; every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖 </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span><br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/TimsASDjourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TimsASDjourney</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Neurospicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurospicy</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TheMammutMoves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheMammutMoves</span></a></p>

Mx. Luna Corbden<p>A lot of this is stuff that I've secretly suspected to be a problem for awhile now, but haven't been in a good position to address it. </p><p>Willpower also takes energy. Major habit changes take energy. And many of these things are or were copes for worse things.</p><p>Getting out of my most recent toxic situation was necessary to reach this step, where I'm reducing my social media usage, disconnecting from thinking too much, and ceasing to do multiple recreational activities at once (like I'm doing now, sigh... mid-video, idle game on the iPad, posting), these are all obsessive copes, to the point that the zinging mild pain I get from overstimulating myself is a crave that I'm seeking...</p><p>But it's also what's keeping me sick. And I'm safe now, for the moment, and can cut that crap out.</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Recovery2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Recovery2025</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/DarkSojourn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DarkSojourn</span></a> <br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MECFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MECFS</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/burnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>burnout</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicIllness</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AutDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutDHD</span></a></p>
Mx. Luna Corbden<p>I'm watching a thing about recovering from autistic burnout, specifically how to manage energy. It's helpful. In fact, seeing a short clip from this earlier this week inspired my break from thinking (as much as possible, because here I am, writing a twoot... and I can feel it draining me).</p><p>Really helpful stuff in here. Probably also applies to allists with fatigue.</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MECFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MECFS</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/burnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>burnout</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicIllness</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AutDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutDHD</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/GjWpCV6on88" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/GjWpCV6on88</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Arthur :RainbowInfinity:<p>I feel very isolated and don't know how to get out of it. I don't have any friends in my neighbourhood, and I can't make any new ones. My social anxiety, shyness and autistic communication problems don't allow me to go out to meet people. My depression, in turn, won't let me do absolutely anything, as I have no desire and often no energy to do anything - the only thing I want to do is lie in bed. It's very frustrating, and it deepens my depression and reluctance to live even more.</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Depression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Depression</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anxiety</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/SocialAnxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialAnxiety</span></a></p>
