Hi disabled community! I’m so sorry the megathread is late this week. I hope everyone’s new year is going well so far!
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
I’m sorry to hear the overstimulation hit you this hard. From what you’re writing, it sounds like you got a lot on your plate already, so I think I get it. I hope you can unwind more somewhere between work and projects and other duties. Take care, friend!
I’m currently trying to feel out when I’m heading towards meltdown or shutdown and trying to mitigate that. After realizing I was going through burnout since college, I’ve been working on trying to be productive yet taking it easy during my downtime me days like today. I have a few things I want to get done but if I don’t get to them all it’s fine. I have tomorrow.
