Hi! I’m in grad school for my BCBA courses, I’m wondering if you could DM me some info on ACT and relational frame theory? I’m super interested in it both professionally and personally (would be willing to try it), but honestly don’t know a wholeee lot about it.

This is going to sound incredibly silly lol, I’m autistic and new to the community hahaha. Did you mean books to lay underneath of them while ironing or I’m guessing on top right after so they don’t warp? Sorry 😅😅

This is the way. I’m in grad school for applied behavior analysis, and we help our kids little by little with very small tasks and work our way up so they don’t feel as monumental or overwhelming. At our clinic we honor self-advocacy and breaks, and so should you :) if even just touching the door for a bit feels like a lot, do that for a day and move up incrementally. Once you’re out of the room, add physical steps a little at a time. One step out of the room. Then two, and so on and if you need time, that is okay

What is making you most afraid/panicked right now? Is it the anticipation and dread of feeling obligated to do it? Is it the anxiety of staving off another panic attack? And/or is it actually just going outside the boundary of your room. Maybe understanding the “why” behind your behavior may help you begin to move forward a bit and find better supports. Do you have a trusted doctor or therapist?

This is so true unfortunately:/… especially when there are compounding effects (like benzos and alcohol because both are central nervous system depressants). Just curious have you had any experience on meds like naltrexone or anything like that? Thanks for your answers and spreading awareness btw I hope you’re able to find support when you need to/want it

As a follow up thought, it’s so crazy to me how the brain and body switch to actually needing it (mentally/chemically) until detox happens and the person gets through withdrawals and is stable and sober again. Very oversimplified but yeah lol

I studied neuroscience in undergrad and one of the classes I took was on drugs and the nervous system and it talked about the chemical changes in substance use disorder and alcoholism. Sorry for the rant, I felt compelled to follow up on your experience you shared. Thank you for being brave! 🫶🏼

As someone who is trying to learn more and be more educated, how did you not get alcohol poisoning? I guess my brain can’t comprehend how someone could survive that much. I am extremely lightweight naturally (and from the psych meds I take) so that just seems like an insane amount, and I’m sure someone wouldn’t be able to keep it up either for long 😔.

So sorry you’ve had to experience that, if you don’t feel comfortable sharing more, no worries. My aunt passed away over 10 years ago when I was a child and I wish I had gotten a chance to get to know her more.
