It’s frustrating bc like I won’t get better that’s not how chronic illness works. #actuallyautistic #chronicillness #chronicallyill #disabled

For the love of god, people. Stop telling me to get better. I don’t know how.

Bpd isn’t made up. You can be allistic with bpd you can also be autistic with bpd. Denying bpd is a real condition is dangerous. #actuallyautistic #audhd #bpd #latediagnosedautistic

It’s important to know you’re allowed to take care of yourself in these times. And sometimes what is the most you can do won’t be the most for someone else and that’s ok. #mentalhealth #activism #crisisfatigue #cutewinterboots #actuallyautistic #chronicallyill

Tips on how to manage crisis fatigue.

Recognize:
emotionally and physically drained.
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.
Increased anxiety,stress, or irritability.
Feeling hopeless and detached from current events.

How to cope:
limit media exposure, stay informed but not have it consume your whole day take breaks.
Ground yourself. Take deep breaths and engage your senses.
Prioritize self care. Rest and engage in what brings you joy.
Stay connected. Talk with friends and family to help process.
Focus on what you can control. Even small actions help give you a sense of agency.
Set boundaries. It’s ok to step away from what is draining.

You’re not alone.
It’s exhausting to deal with the state of the world. But you don’t carry it alone. Taking care of your well being isn’t avoidance it’s necessary.

It’s weird to be putting down others based on aesthetic stereotypes. Quit doing it.
