This happens to me often and boy is it intense! For me… I just acknowledge that I am having a moment… it’s like waiting for a train to pass. Some trains are short and other trains are longer.

For the long train, I sometimes will go grab me something to drink and maybe grab a snack and go read a chapter or two out of a book that I enjoy.

If you have a companion or close friend or family member that understands your condition, go tell them that you are having a moment. Sometimes my girlfriend helps me through it by letting me tell her what part of the movie is playing. That seems to help a lot but if nobody is around, I just try to get comfortable and I verbally assault the air around me until it’s I feel better but that’s not healthy, I just don’t know how to fix it.

  1. No diagnosis checking is allowed, If someone says they have it, they have it. It’s not your job to dig through someone’s medical history. It’s invalidating.

  2. None of the very basic isms and phobias. Includes but not limited to racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia.

  3. CW your post if it contains triggering topics. If you have to ask, just use a CW.
