Inside Voice with Martha's Mind

Inspiration was, it felt like I was trapped in someone elses drama and movie storyline. They tried to make me out as if I was the bad guy for having feelings.

Relationships feels like the easiest way to find inspiration.

I have experienced burnout a lot and let me tell you. I think it's up there with being one of the roughest experiences to live through. I have heard the term 'burnout' a lot but autistic-specific burnout was new. So I deepened my learning and found it truly so helpful to read the difference between autistic burnout and depression and why we cannot think that trying to get out of a depression is the same for burnout.

I guess it's always nice to have a new starting point on things I want to achieve, here are a few of mine and hopefully they spark some inspiration for you!

TW; Suicide

Back after a mental health break (for real - it has been a very testing time on really working on me). But I am back and feeling okay. Calmed, compared to how I was before.

Talking about the real reality.. suicide doesn't go up in January. but for myself it's been very hard with uni struggles, overwhelmed of social pressures.

spoke word piece.

written with the inspiration of seeing a ton of couples on the 42 bus from Fallowfield to Manchester town. all looking like a couple that had just met but had faith it was going to be a blossoming love.

So to end the BIG first season (haha I was due a break!). I wanted to do self reflection question quick-fire round style. These are definitely worth writing down and having an answer yourself!!

See you all in the new year

Food is something I feel extremely passionate about for many reasons. My psychology/relationship is a HISTORY. I loved learning about food on a scientific level. I loved the psychology around other people's food when I was a practicing nutritionist.

But this episode invites you into the world of Autistics Anonymous; the food edition. Autistic people tend to have a very specific relationship with food. because food is a science - there should be a logic based on biology. Yet, food is also a feeling, a pattern a comfort that autistic people can harness more than maybe neurotypical people.

This invites you into the mind of autistic people and the sometimes 'weird' quirks of food behavior but also a very endearing part of me and something I know anyone can relate with.

thoroughly enjoyed stepping back from a lot of online pressures. This week has taken me to reflection, which, I thoroughly love and usually, I feel better about.

I have also posted a new blog post - MARTHA'S MIND
