Follow me Down the Anxiety Spiral. An Autistic & ADHD informed tumble into dis-regulation and repair

After enjoying a few weeks of productivity and delight I hit a bump in the road and once again found myself in a state of overwhelm. That quickly turned into a trip down the anxiety spiral to the pit of lost hope - not great. But this time, things haven't stayed down for long and while I'm still feeling pretty tired and a little bit salty at myself for once again ending up in this heap, I'm clawing myself back to reality. Come with me as I share what this psychological breakdown looks and feels like plus, how I'm managing to turn it all around again.
The video covers topics such as Anxious thought loops which include Catastrophizing, rumination, perseveration and black-and-white thinking. I also discuss stimming and other self-care methods that work for me plus I share insights around what I need from my loved ones and support people when I hit this kind of snag. I hope you find it interesting and look forward to hearing about how you are going and any tips you have on coping with these situationships.
