When my #autistic & #ADHD brain’s extra noisy and jumbled, one way I can dial down the fight or flight & really quieten my thoughts is arranging things neatly. Flowering in the garden, 03.06.24:

I've had 2 solid years of intense life cack* & it's made my brain poorly,but been learning something new in therapy: I've stopped talking to myself as though I'm a pile of droppings/actual Darth Vader. This change is hard & takes ages. Anyway here's a nice photo: *technical term

HIGHGATE CEMETERY Glorious in its gothic gloom; tentacled ivy reclaims the dead in uncanny and surprising ways #WyrdWednesday

エンジェルズドリーム こちらも4月のドリームガーデンでお迎えして3枚目の小さい葉っぱが出てきた✨

Idk this little guy’s name but i was so happy to see it flowering🥹💕✨

Y‘all I‘m so sad … I just learned that the concentric circles are caused by the Capsicum Chlorosis virus, spread by thrips. Same family as Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus, and it’s uncurable. Wish me luck that I have spotted it early enough else the whole hoya plant is a goner🥲

Such a glorious day at David Austin Roses today. Do go if you get the chance. The roses are all blooming lovely right now. #GardeningX #roses #RoseWednesday

I'm wrestling with anxiety just now. If you are too then pausing on my tweet for a while & focussing on the details in my late summer floral photo👇is likely to help a little. Looking at the patterns of plants shifts our brains away from fight or flight & into rest & digest mode.

Our brains really like subtle colour shifts & release dopamine, lifting mood, when we look at something we think is beautiful. My leafy action below is likely to make your synaptic soup slightly less angsty if you pause & focus on the details:

Was trolled here recently-told my feed is pure self pity.Our brains are wired to focus on attacks,so I went silent,but my hope in being honest about my mental illness & autism here is to make others feel less alone & to give your brain a rest with my photos. That troll can do one

雨が続いて週末が楽しみ🎶♫
