Robot Diver<p>One thing I am doing for my ME these days, is remembering to lie down. I was a human doing in my old life and it's sometimes hard to break that cycle. At a few points in the day, i just lie down and it lets me pay attention to my body. If my body says 'yes, this is where i need to be.' I stay there. No guilt. Just rest. </p><p><a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/mecfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mecfs</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/longCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longCovid</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/restAggressively" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>restAggressively</span></a></p>
Cazimodo Creative<p>Good morning everyone 🌞 I have just woken up after another day of very low spoons yesterday. I've made an effort to come downstairs as I was missing my parrots. I actually had a dream in which I had gone shopping with Ziggy, who was being so very cute, and we met up with another lady and her boyfriend who were doing parrot displays. Later I found them both on stretchers after some kind of accident and tried to find sticky notes so I could give them my number in case they needed my help. And all the time Zigs was being adorable...so I definitely had to come and see her after that 😊</p><p>Grant has been doing a good job of looking after me so he's on a well deserved birding walk this morning and a glorious day for it too. I do miss walking. With the river and the forest there are so many good walks around here. Today though, I will continue to take it very easy.</p><p>Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗 </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Parrots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Parrots</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/PetsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PetsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BirdsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BirdsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BirdsOfFediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BirdsOfFediverse</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GoodMorning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoodMorning</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mecfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mecfs</span></a></p>
Will 🏳️‍🌈<p>Are men’s “hot flashes” really a thing?</p><p>I’m 54. When I take a shower, or eat, or even think about anything physically active, I sweat like crazy within moments, usually on my back and neck plus the usual places. This is to the point where I often need to change t-shirts within about 5-10 minutes. I usually have to be in t-shirts without a jacket, unless it’s around freezing outside.

Dr Ro Smith<p>I'm fucked off by the rhetoric I'm hearing from the Labour leadership. It's beyond disgusting.

Cazimodo Creative<p>Good morning everyone 🌞 I am still laid up today, but starting to feel a little bit more human after a lot of rest.

Mx. Luna Corbden<p>Here's a little executive function tip based on my Splines Theory.</p><p>If you're having trouble starting a complicated and boring task, give yourself time to "load the splines." Splines are just my silly word representing the fact that ADHD and autistic people are more detail-oriented. We have a hard time accessing an idea by its summary, and need to think about the whole system with all its parts (splines) in order to grapple it. This takes time and energy.</p><p>But the good news is, reticulating splines is mostly a passive activity. First step, the hardest, is communicating to your brain about what it needs to load. </p><p>A few hours ago when I started gathering paperwork for taxes, I felt incredibly overwhelmed and my chronic pain was activated. So I pushed myself to kinda get started (updating my list from last year, opening the email folder, creating some folders on my computer), but then I hit a wall. Under intense overwhelm, I couldn't get started turning those emails into PDFs.</p><p>But my brain knows what it needs to do. It just needed time. I entered my passive splines reticulating phase, which can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Since I only have a week to get this to my CPA, the sooner I started the loading process, the better. Most of that happens in the background. The hardest part was telling my brain to start, which I did by giving a glance to the body of details I will need to absorb.</p><p>Then I went did a couple of hours of paid writing work which my brain normally expects on a Monday (so that went easier). And then back to taxes to see if things were flowing better.</p><p>And they are! I still hate it! But now my mind has an understanding of the task and it doesn't seem impossible.</p><p>I will work on it until I feel sick and foggy again, then I will pick up tomorrow where I expect it to go even more smoothly.</p><p>Here's my 2013 post on Splines Theory of neurodiverse executive function.</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taxes</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/pacing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pacing</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MECFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MECFS</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.corbden.com/2013/10/splines-theory-spoons-metaphor-for.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">corbden.com/2013/10/splines-th</span><span class="invisible">eory-spoons-metaphor-for.html</span></a></p>
Robot Diver<p>My friend sent me this today from an amazing snowshoe camping trip we took in 2016. </p><p>MECFS has altered my life in such a massive way that I'm sometimes at a loss for words. I would have easily hiked 80-100km in a weekend in spite of some heavy fibromyalgia symptoms back then. Now I'm happy when i can make it around the block.</p><p>That being said, I'm not the only one. I have another friend in this photo with a degenerative disorder, and I was worried my hiking buddies would disappear when i got sick and came out as trans. But they are still here and I know how rare that is. </p><p>I miss the alpine, I miss the plants, I miss the peace and the beautiful reset it gave my audhd each time, i miss the bonding with my friends, but this photo reminds me that you have to love each moment to its fullest because you never know what's right around the corner and I'm so glad I did.</p><p><a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/mecfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mecfs</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/longCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longCovid</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/alpine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alpine</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/backcountry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>backcountry</span></a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hiking</span></a></p>

Will 🏳️‍🌈<p>PEM is a real bummer.</p><p>Early last night, I felt the vibe to dance for an hour while sitting on my office chair to a new favorite DJ set. At the time, it felt great to get a bit of exercise. But now, I hurt everywhere and my mental ability is almost nonexistent. Needless to say, I’m confined to bed right now.</p><p>I just hope I haven’t reduced my baseline yet again.
