What am I up to?
Oh, just crying with gratitude after reading a kind text received from a work friend wishing me a Merry Xmas. 🎄
She + I became a lot closer since my desk was moved next to hers earlier this year.
I’m so grateful for her friendship.
🌟💟🌟💟🌟
Small portion:
“You have been through so much, yet you continue to rise with grace, kindness, and a beautiful heart. You are a bright light, Stacie, and the universe has so much more in store for you.”
Happy holiday season!
❄️💟❄️💟❄️
I’m still alive!
Life has been a lot for me. So I may be dealing with burnout.
I don’t have a diagnosis but I’m pretty sure I’m neurodivergent.
I’ve been exploring my neurodivergence with a neurodivergent friend who suspected I may be neurodivergent.
I’ve always considered myself a highly sensitive person (HSP). I questioned whether I could be neurodivergent for years.
Been learning about my needs + trying to be compassionate with myself.
This most recent notebook I've dedicated to "Things I Detest" a la Nabokov, who cheerily shares some of what he detests in a 1965 interview at around the 17:56 mark.
When he lists different types of music (inflicted music, next-room music, portable music), I never related to anything so much in my life.
And I thought . . . well, you don't have a to be a literary genius to compile a notebook of things that you detest.
And I've done this before -- as a highly sensitive person, it's cathartic to write about that which causes discomfort.
But I'll probably also start a notebook listing things that I love.
So far, my list includes "appliances that beep," "when it rains, but not enough to justify an umbrella," and "being in-between books."
"The present study showed that high-sensitivity signaling had different forms. Some of them are descriptive; others are instrumental and aimed at influencing others. The latter were associated mostly with narcissism, while the former were linked to actual sensory processing sensitivity. High-sensitivity signaling to influence others seems to be a narcissistic strategy for obtaining special treatment in contrast to the strategy of the assertive signaling of stimulation needs by individuals with high sensory processing sensitivity (descriptive signaling and self-labeling as an HSP). Personal victimhood signaling and victim sensitivity were higher among individuals high in sensory processing sensitivity and #narcissism, while sensory processing sensitivity in combination with Machiavellianism and #psychopathy was predictive of revenge entitlement."

Drei Tage hintereinander mit sozialen Interaktionen, gestern und heute sogar richtig viel. Es war alles schön, aber meine Energie ist jetzt fast aufgebraucht - und die Woche noch nicht zu Ende. An solchen Tagen merke ich deutlich, wieviel mir die Krankheit genommen hat.
Mich beim Lesen dieses Artikels hier über Hochsensibilität fragen, wie viele der sich selbst als HSP erkannt habenden Menschen wohl in Wirklichkeit ADHS u/o Autismus haben ...

Your sensitivity isn’t a flaw. It’s your signal.

Contemplating today how to navigate sensitivity within the #fediverse. I've been hosting a conversation this week about periods, conscience that there are people with me, sharing themselves and their experiences, I treasure speaking deeply about all the things. I appreciate the openness of heart people are displaying to each other.
I'm hyper conscious that some people experience shame around hormonal cycles and have taken into care to create CW around this multi-layered sensitive topic. This creates a layer of safety for the participants, we haven't had to fight trolls in this discussion. Using a boundary this way provides safety for both those that want to click in and those that don't want to touch this discussion at this time or in this way. I saw it said here once that it's more of a content wrapper than a warning, a way to share the topic and offer a choice.
I value caring for the needs of others with each other. As we watch our democracies shift policy against our vulnerable populations, I think it is very valuable to know what needs people have and then to build spaces that support all of our needs being fulfilled. Not everyone is going to agree with each other about what needs other people have and how to disperse resources. But if we remain ignorant, choosing not to learn, or outsourcing our learning, it will just prolong the suffering within and the suffering of our people.
If we can hold compassion for our own needs, we can hold compassion for other's needs. If we simply unfollow or block the needs of others we will remain out of touch, buffered with unearned privilege, willing to sacrifice the needs of others in order to protect the ego, the "I do it this way, so shut up or get out" vibe will "win" every argument and we will exist in our own separate echo chambers.
So, what. So, what do we do to create safe spaces within and around us? Do we work to protect the marginalized or do we pile on and punch down? Because we're so stressed, so afraid, leading to being so angry, we're willing to fight strangers on the internet?
... Huh. https://depressioneducation.org/mood-spectrum-mood-swings-without-mania/
This makes sense. We don't have one single "mood hormone" or even receptor type in cells, so why would we have one single "correct" mood set? https://depressioneducation.org/depression-section-page-1/the-dsm-rules-for-psych-diagnosis/
... Psychiatryst, lol. That needs to be an ERP game or something. And psychologussy. I should be sorry but I'm so not.

Hochsensibilität / HSP
Hochsensibilität ist ein Phänomen, das in den letzten Jahren vermehrt Aufmerksamkeit erlangt hat. Menschen, die hochsensibel sind, nehmen Reize intensiver wahr und reagieren stärker auf emotionale und physische Stimuli. Dieses Thema ist https://bit.ly/4ljESmp #Achtsamkeit #HSP #psychotHHerapie

Meine #hochsensibel Freundin ist auf der Durchreise und möchte sich mit mir treffen, aber wenn zu viel Trubel drumherum ist, bekommen wir beide nichts von der anderen mit. Und für draußen spazieren ist das Wetter zu schlecht.

i've often been told i'm too sensitive (... i'm an #HSP and notice super small changes), but my friend usually says, admiringly, "your antenna is so well aligned". ☺️
