Mental Health Awareness Month ✨

A page from my diary, Dec 2024:

We've been living together for 3 weeks and I've been splitting off and on as we merge our lives together.

He's 🐝 been cranky for a couple of days, being reactive with my dogs and short in texts. He looked tired and disheveled.

Turns out, he has allergies! But he forgot to update his address with the pharmacy so his medicine delivery is off. I believe he did mention this, but it was pushed to the back of my mind.

Instead my mind went into thinking everything was my fault, "He did all these amazing things for ME! He moved far from work, far from friends. My dogs are chasing his cats. He probably thinks I was a mistake."

How I handled the situation:
1. Kept busy. I distracted myself by unpacking and organizing. I made online purchases to decorate our new home.
2. I had to focus on the fact that NEVER in OUR history together has he misled me. I need to make sure I don't impulsively react.
3. I reminded myself that HE asked ME into his life. If something was wrong, he would tell me. My dogs are part of my package, he needs to learn to deal with them. Just like I need to learn to deal with his cats.

Once I saw his smile after work yesterday and realized he looked different.. "OMG he's been sick this whole time without his meds!" 🤪 It's a constant struggle to remember that it's not personal.

It's Friday and we have an amazing weekend planned.
He's feeling better, I'm feeling better.
It's going to be a good weekend.

My BPD spends all night playing a “Greatest Hits” reel of every possible abandonment scenario, only for my ADHD and Autism to show up at 6:00 AM sharp like, “Okay, the sun is up! Time to follow the exact morning routine and start the 14 tasks we planned!”

The transition from night-time emotional spirals to daytime executive functioning is a wild ride.

Who else is caffeinating through the internal chaos today? ☕️✨

This one time I saw a cute and decided to actually dye my hair. Yeah, no, that was a mistake. It took me 3 months to fix it.

My ADHD writing checks that my Autism can't cash. 💸

One brain wants the novelty of new plans, the other brain just realized that those plans involve shoes, transitions, and small talk. Yeah, no. We're staying home.

Which one is winning for you today?

I'm pretty sure the majority of are neurodivergent children that grew up in the wrong environment.

What disorder did you get?

My phone rings and I stare at it like it just asked me for a pop quiz I didn’t study for. 📞😅

If it wasn’t planned, my brain isn’t ready.
If I don’t feel like talking, I’m not going to force it.

It’s not personal, it’s capacity.
Some days I have words, some days I don’t.
And both are allowed. 💛

You’re allowed to respond later.
You’re allowed to protect your energy without explaining every detail.

Normalize honoring your bandwidth.

✨Save this if you needed the reminder
✨Share it with someone who gets it
✨Follow me for more real-life, gentle boundaries and healing. 📲✨

asking the important questions to keep it as natural as possible. 😂 🤗

In my experience, families tend to hesitate at first with in home ABA services. I assume it's bc they think I'm going to judge their mess or report them to child services. I'm not there to judge at all, I'm there to observe and help!

One of my passions is to declutter and organize.
And I have soo many ideas for your home!

April is Autism Awareness Month but for me it’s Autism Unmasking Month. 🧠✨

I’m learning to soften the performance, to stop editing myself into something more “comfortable” for others, and to exist as I am even when it feels scary.

Unmasking doesn't have to be loud or dramatic.
✨Sometimes it looks like resting without guilt.
✨Sometimes it looks like saying “no.”
✨Sometimes it looks like letting yourself be seen. 💛

If you’re on this journey too, you’re not alone here.

💛Save this as a reminder to be gentle with yourself.
🫧Share it with someone who needs to feel seen.
🧚🏽‍♀️Follow me for more honest moments about mental health, healing, and unmasking.

It's autism awareness month! 💙

Different brains, different magic. 🧠✨

Autism isn’t something to “fix”, it’s something to understand, respect, and celebrate.

This Autism Awareness Month go beyond awareness and choose acceptance, listen to autistic voices and make space for neurodiversity in your everyday life. 💛 Take one step today toward being more inclusive.

Save this as your reminder, share to spread the message, and follow me for more mental health and real life healing.

I usually share my life in my IG Stories to the same 50 viewers. This is now going to a wider audience. And that's scary.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder is an eating disorder often seen in autistic and neurodivergent individuals. It’s not about body image, it’s about sensory sensitivity, fear, and safety around food.

Someone with ARFID may:
• Avoid foods because of texture, smell, or color
• Have a very limited number of safe foods
• Experience anxiety, gagging, or nausea when trying new foods
• Struggle in situations like holidays, restaurants, or social meals

For many people, eating isn’t just a preference, it can feel overwhelming to the nervous system.

Support looks like:
✨ respecting safe foods
✨ reducing pressure
✨ introducing new foods slowly and safely
✨ focusing on nourishment, not shame

Understanding ARFID helps create safer tables and more compassionate conversations.
