Nonconformity

You may be dissociating if you:

find yourself staring at one spot, not thinking anything

feel completely numb

feel like you’re not really in your body, like you’re watching yourself in a movie.

feel suddenly lightheaded or dizzy

lose the plot of the show or conversation you were focused on

feel as if you’re not quite real, like you’re in a dream

feel like you’re floating 

suddenly feel like you’re not a part of the world around you

feel detached and far away from other people, who may seem mechanical or unreal to you

are very startled when someone/something gets your attention

completely forget what you were thinking just a moment ago

suddenly cover your face or react as if you’re about to be hurt for no reason

can’t remember important information about yourself, like your age or where you live

find yourself rocking back and forth

become very focused on a small or trivial object or event

find that voices, sounds or writing seem far away and you sometimes have trouble understanding them.

feel as if you’ve just experienced a flashback (perhaps rapidly) but you can’t remember anything about it.

perceive your body as foreign or not belonging to you

Don’t forget that it start’s tomorrow (Saturday) and I’ll be streaming art on Picarto all week to help raise money and awareness for The National Autistic Society. Regular updates will be posted throughout the week to let everyone know when streams go live along with information on autism. My Just Giving page is now live for anyone that wishes to donate. Anything donated via Just Giving will go directly to The National Autistic Society once the week is over. Anyone that wants to donate can do so here.

We appreciate your support and hope that you will help to spread awareness to help those on the autistic spectrum, as well as their families.

Today is trans day of visibility, so I would like to post a few reminders:
