I am an openly neurodivergent spoonie with both physical/mental dynamic disabilities.
In recovery from alcohol.
Mental Health Worker 4+ years
Specialities: suicide/crisis int, mood disorder, NSSIB, LGBT+
And for the record, chessmaster is a terrible NES/chess video game. Almost no music, sound effects can be harsh. The best part is the lovely #8bit rendition of the funeral march that plays when you lose 😂 (heard that a lot!)
Doing some #selfcare today. Learning #chess from YouTube, books with detailed pictures, and through apps has made it much more accessible than playing chessmaster on the #NES in '99.

Quiche I baked tonight. The crust is under baked, but because I'm #neurodivergent, I often need to relearn skills, like using my oven. It's chilly here in #Maine! I'll get it right next time! 😊 I'm proud of myself for cooking, regardless of the outcome ❤️

Andy: Good Morning Sarah, this is a older picture of Captiva on the couch, and I like this picture because it shows that even a small cat can be a Mighty Lion,
And I know that you have a Mighty Lion of strength, courage, and determination inside of you. 🦁💖

Update on my #chess journey: I reviewed some stats from last year's tournament, the winner had an elo around 1000 and computers think I'm 600-700 currently. Seems like placing is a realistic possibility!
Hoping to compete in the #Maine Women's #Chess tournament in Feb 2026.
I'm a self-taught novice with passion, tools, and time. Let's see what happens!

Spent some much needed time with family this weekend. Meet Dil, my sister's cat. He's jello wrapped in fur, held together by rage and frequent snacks

I grew up on #SNAP and have loved ones who need it. If you are not in need right now, feed your neighbors.
Feeding your neighbors is punk as fuck.

Today's drink: I enjoy #LiquidDeath a lot and find the subtle sweetness delicious, also great with lemonade!

Imagine if you spoke to yourself with the same kindness you offer others.
You’re not a burden.
You’re not too much
You’re just tired, and that’s okay.

The voice we search for in others… is the one we need to become for ourselves

Update on my #ChronicIllnessJourney: I have ordered a genetic test and am waiting for it to be processed. I spent my own money, no insurance, no coupons #NotSponsored and I'm hopeful for some information and excited to share my unbiased experience. It's my last major idea.

Your healing will take time. Don't rush it or feel ashamed when the journey isn't quick.

Tonight's drink keeping me #sober I'm not usually a grape flavor fan, but am enjoying this.
Work has been heavy this week and I know I can't have one drink responsibly. So I won't.

I #relapsed
Started drinking a little each night at home again for two weeks.
I'm three days alcohol #soberish again.
Haven't told my therapist yet.
I'm breathing and my liver is working, so I'm still in #recovery and am choosing to continue

I live with #ptsd from several causes. But RN it's #WorkplaceTraumaticStress that I'm struggling with increasing symptoms.
I work the telephonic #Frontlines of the #American #mentalhealth system

Your body whispers before it shouts.
Listen early, rest often

Pause.
Breathe.
You matter more than your to-do list.

Picked this up local for $5, with the original remote. Everything works, just dirty. I am PUMPED to get this thing looking good, maybe do a few mods. One of my #hyperfixations as #Neurodivergent person is #retrovideogames #retrogaming #nerd #nerdalert #tv #retrogamer #project

I'm hanging on
#sober
It hasn't been easy
It hasn't felt worth it
A #relapse could be a one-way ticket back to #addiction #Alcohol is like using a credit card for your #mentalhealth: paid in high interest from everything else in your life

Update: I'm #sober
But the monster is under my bed, waiting to whisper in my ear. I'm aware he's after me now; last night caught me off guard
#sobriety #soberish #recovery #addiction
I have not wanted to drink #alcohol this badly in a very, very long time. I feel like I'm trying to resist a magnet. It's hard, but I'm not gonna break.

In the course of being #undiagnosed with a #chronicillness, here are the providers I've seen:
2 PCPs from the same office
PMHNP
LCSW
2 ER doctors
Rheumatologist
Waiting for neurology
I research 10hr/wk, via peer reviewed studies
I'm exhausted 😵‍💫
