Does anyone else tend to relisten to the same song over and over in the same day, back to back, or even week to week? I've had this one song itching my brain that I think it's made its way into my ears and constantly plays no matter what I do.

Imagine having classes from 8 am to 8 Pm for just about your whole week and then suddenly you are not forced to get up that early, and now you're tired after a few hours of being awake again. This is what I call motivation Burnout. Not a real thing as far as I am concerned but. Your motivation to get up at 7 am each morning and work like your life depends on it breaks down all your few spoons that you've barely managed to keep together.

Hey, just a quick reminder as winter break rolls in: it’s totally okay if the change in routine feels weird. A lot of neurodivergent students feel that mix of relief and overwhelm, so don’t beat yourself up if your brain needs a minute to adjust.

I feel like there are so many expectations and obligations that are placed on me during this time. If that happens to you too, consider focusing on what actually helps you feel steady. If having a loose daily rhythm keeps things from feeling chaotic, go for it. If you need quiet time, headphones, movement, stimming, or just a break from people, that’s valid. And if you’re around family or roommates, giving them a heads-up about what you need can make things way easier for everyone.

Most of all, don’t rush yourself. Take the break at the pace that feels right. Rest is real self-care, and…

Hey y'all,

I thought I'd make a post today because it's Thanksgiving, a holiday that is difficult for a lot of people, regardless of whether or not we're neurodivergent.

But if you are also ND...

[North Dakota??? Okay, if you're using text to speech like me, obviously I don't mean North Dakota!!! Let's try that again. If you're neurodivergent...]

... in multiple ways it might be even harder to do holidays, because the usual advice around setting your boundaries on holidays for social interactions, food, and other self-care needs might look different for you. For example, I am AuDHD (pronounced 'awe D H D'), among other things. That means that I'm autistic and ADHD. So my overwhelm / burnout cycle doesn't look like either ADHD or autism alone.

For me, the strong drive to "be productive" the moment I've had a few minutes rest is not a useful impulse. It's…

I needed to make a post before I forgot, but here we are lmao;

I tend to forget a lot of things that I have to do for homework and often create notes all over my phone, desk, and then even my computer. Meaning even if I had a note, I don't find it important until like, the last second. I just have to check all my notes a lot, otherwise I would run like a chicken with it's head cut off. 😅

Every little step forward matters 💜This week I:

• Took time to pause and recenter

• Finally finished something I’d been putting off

• Reminded myself that rest is okay and necessary

What about you? What’s one win you’re proud of this week? Let’s celebrate together! 🌈

Hey y'all!
