#Overstimulation and #dissociation have really, really ramped up this past week or two. Instrumental music on earbuds has been helping a lot. Helps me reestablish a boundary between what's inside me and what isn't. I must cultivate comfort. Always. But especially so when raw. My dog is sleeping with her head on my thigh (painfully bittersweet bc she's very deep into her golden years and I'm fucking feeling it lately). Listening to music that's holding me. Half-watching a YouTube channel of cycling live world webcams because, for whatever mix of reasons, I get into moods where it's incredibly comforting to have this on. #ActuallyAutistic
