Feeling a bit...fried? 🍳😵💫🫠
For those living within the neurodivergent spectrum, it’s not just understandable, but normal if the holiday season overloaded your system - you're not broken 🥚 (ok no more egg-related jokes moving forward, promise👀).
Some ND-Affirming Strategies:
⚓Re-anchor in predictability: return to preferred routines, foods, and media; keep transitions slow and clearly defined.
🛟Help restore by first conserving your existing energy (without masking): stim, fidget, and/or move in ways that help regulation; decline plans without over-explaining.
🦥Miro-rest counts: take short pauses, sit with eyes closed for 60-120 seconds, lie down without sleeping.
😮💨Reconnect with the body, not the narrative: taking deep breaths, applying gentle pressure (wall push, hugging pillow), and temperature shifts (warm shower, cool air).
For those that are needing more, therapy is a great option to further help:
✨ Make sense of overwhelm
✨ Learn nervous-system-friendly coping
✨ Honor limits without guilt
✨ Unmask safely
✨ Build capacity over time—not force it
