This really resonates…I always thought my difference was something I could fix as well and it’s an ongoing struggle to accept I can’t. I think for me that imposter syndrome reflects my not wanting to accept this new reality xx

Your video Just made my days a little bit easier. This Topič when to unmask, and how much to unmask around the people you love that they Will accept you and on the other side you Will still fill accepted and love. It's a f... mess and really energy draining. But its always good to know that there is always light at the end of the tunnel aka a lesson😊

Once my friends get married or have kids I just kind of drop off. We’re just on a different page.

Yes yes yes

Awesome video but also you have beautiful eyes! 🤗

Needed this 😅

My father is 90 years old and he generally goes to bed around 3 to 4 am then sleeps until around 1 pm. He constantly berates himself and says he needs to get back on a "normal" schedule. I always tell him that this is his normal schedule and what his body prefers. He has been so conditioned by societal "norms" that he cannot accept that the 9 to 5 world is an artificial construct and not natural.

i really needed to hear this. thank you

thanks, kinda needed that. because i always won‘t to get a lot of things done and meet up with people and then i forget to look after my self and take a break 😌

Capitalism has even monetised downtime. No wonder mental health issues are an epidemic. Once people sat in a chair and did nothing, to rest, and were grateful for it. I'm a big fan of it personally. Be in the moment and enjoy breathing. Your mind will thank you.

i got duh same headphones lol

Thank you for making this video. I watched it months ago when I was at a different point in my own journey and then again today…and I can see how things have changed for me in that time. I particularly found some of the ways you managed issues such as your time blindness helpful as well as your reflections on your conditioning to see yourself as lazy really spoke to me. You also reflected how you described and came to recognise your neurodivergent internal experience which was great. I remember that when I first watched the video I thought that what you were doing to support yourself wouldn’t be possible for me because I felt you had more external resources than me however on reflection I think that deep down ( I wasn’t aware of this) I thought it was indulgent rather than necessary. Well I have lived and learned since then and I am now better able to recognise and accept my needs and that it’s ok to meet them. I feel good about that. Thanks again ❤

Crying bc I needed to hear this

Yes that is so difficult

AMEN!

Honoring the Sabbath is one of the 10 commandments for a reason. ❤

Very much going through this right now. I’m at the stage where I’m still on the verge of overstimulation and having to intentionally slow down and regulate throughout the day, but also needing and wanting something to do that keeps my mind and body busy enough. It’s a tough balance, because of the pressure to have to return to “normal” life. But my sensory issues really don’t mesh well with most of activities in the outside world.

According to sperm donor I'm a failure because I don't have a 9-5 job and I don't work 40hours a week. I have a career 11 years strong, but I'm still a failure. I work Mon & Tues with Wed off, then Thurs & Fri. We're open 2 Sats a month and closed on Sunday. I'm a massage therapist, so my job is physical labor. I SLEEP on my off days. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas: 5 days straight of sleep each. Yes please!

so into hairgrowth direction lately so helps me appreciate my bodyhair?? wild but fun and true

Exactly what I’m dealing with right now 👍 it’s a proper skill!

Thank you! I love your channel!

Thank you!! You are the FIRST person who has been able to express what I'm going through. What I have been and am living.

Thank you. I needed this. After long weeks at school and work i always feel guilty about taking time to rest. I think it started with my dad always critizing me for watching tv and KZbin after a long school day. I still carry that guilt with me.

I'm in my first semester of college and needed to hear this. Thank you. Your haircut is beautiful as well ❤

This message definitely reached me at the right time. Thank you for this 🙏

Appreciate this message, though, for me, what if slowing down is hard because it's boring?

Think about this: my parents are doing Communist Poland. They can't stay seated longer than 2 minutes and they're in this 70s. It's a bit the global boomer generation but non capitalist systems produced even more productive people.

Ummmm... Any persoective to deal with that (besides acceptance)?

I feel the same way I don’t know what I feel even when something really sad happens

You're amazing 🩵

This!!! For me it was my dad, he was mega proud of me when i was working 60 hours a week, but somehow not as proud(read: i was lazy) when I was working 20 and earning the same amount of money. Life is meant to be enjoyed, when we're in our last leg we will not regret not working until we passed out, we'll regret not enjoying our lives to the fullest! ❤

This ist so true! ❤

the shade of blue in that sweater is divine

I have narcolepsy, which means I don’t get restorative sleep, leaving me chronically sleep deprived. Thanks for putting the message out there that we shouldn’t feel guilty about rest! Rest is a radical act in our society.

❤❤❤

Like is it an app?

How do you add the subtitles/captions?

I also process my emotions with music Except it's crazy rave music.

Such a nice video! I went back to a flip-phone a month ago as well and it has been a dream. Of course, as you say, it's not at all convenient, but the peace it brings without having to spend 5 hours a day on it is blissful. Personally, I don't have whatsapp on my phone, because it didn't come with a playstore app, but I can check it on my computer when I'm home and it's ok. For trips I would change my SIM card to my smart phone temporarelly, so I can make photos. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience! I was adamant on using one but I'm sure if I watched your video before it would have caused me to switch faster.

you look like a brunette princess Diana!

This is so insightful... Thanks for sharing❤

Art is a powerful channel that helps give us a process to work with our own brains, especially in trying times. I'm glad you're able to articulate this so well bc it can be hard to explain sometimes. Good on you! 💙

My grandpa died on Friday night after battling cancer for 6 months. He was given 12 months with chemo and 6 without. He was only supposed to go to loros for my grandma so she could have respite and he ended up dying there…

Special interest pajamas? They were def made for you! 🐢

Use a flip phone carry a compass and a map and use your laptop as a second resources to the online platform

Can you connect your whatsapp with your pc?

My autism makes me plan out my conversations, but then my ADHD makes me hyper focus on what I'm fairly sure they're going to reply back to it. I'm usually wrong, especially in arguments.

I just found your channel. I honestly probably won't watch much, because I want to reduce my time on KZbin, but I just want to say. Keep spreading your beautiful message and vibes! You are starting a ripple effect just by being you and spreading what you stand for! Thank you for bringing this message into the world!

I have mever really understood this about myself and why I will wait for hours to to to the toilet, make food, go fetch something from another room etc. I am autistic but I didn't really know other people felt this way tbh. I only discovered you a week or so ago but I really appreciated your content

I love your voice
