There are times as there are in many autistic people have irrational or intrusive thoughts. Either type can cause one to obsess and ruminate over things that can be at times out of their control or just don’t make any sense to the neurotypical counterpart. It can be hard to see why something can be such a big issue or even why the individual themselves are overstimulated as they are about something that can seem so marginal in nature.

There can be times when I become dysregulated that it can be hard to focus on the issue at hand that really needs focusing on. The thoughts that I am experiencing can be difficult to manage that oftentimes I will result to sleeping them off so the go away without me doing the work that is needed. However there can be a great benefit if I do the work that is needed to be done to work at eradicating the thoughts on their own. I know that there are things I can do, and in fact it would be quite enjoyable if I just took the initiative and just do it instead of sleeping It off to distract myself from the feeling that I would experience.

When the thoughts appear in my headspace, it can feel as if that is all that is bogged down in my mind. The relatable feelings that are experienced along with the thoughts that I are being experienced can make it difficult to regulate how I can get through what I am experiencing and just getting through the task at hand can be extremely difficult to withstand to the point that adredeline and cortisol fills my body and there needs to be a way to release the tense pressure that I am feeling at that moment on top of the thoughts that I am experiencing that could pretty much be invalid and in the grand scheme of things is useless in nature.

While there has been many techniques taught to me over the course of the past two decades, it takes being able to put forth the effort and do what is needed to execute those skills to ensure that a healthier outcome results instead of the negative things that have often happened in the past. Oftentimes I do not stop and think about how I am to react to things, or I want unhealthy attention that can backfire quite badly and only make things worse than what they already are.

Naturally, key things can be done such as being totally medication adherent along with ensuring that I am well rested and able to transition from things as I do struggle greatly with that. It is also seeing that the world does not revolve around me all the time and there are times when sacrifices are going to need to be made that may make my life unpleasant for a bit. Nonetheless, it typically isn’t anything that I haven’t been through before, it just may be a little bit irritating and that is where the thoughts can arise and as such they can be difficult to reel if I am not able to be properly regulated and able to control my emotions which if not in check will emulsify the thoughts that I am experiencing to the point that I am unable to reel myself in on my own.

Overall, it can be challenging when I and many others are fighting challenging thoughts that we oftentimes do not ask for, even when they can put some in a very precarious position to where they can act irrationally, and things are done that cannot be taken back. Thankfully, I am often able to be cognizant of my mental state and understand that it is important to be cognizant of what I need to do to get back on track from the pain that I am experiencing at that time before it becomes too severe for me to handle.

Thoughts come and go, and they are just that, thoughts. But what we do with them or what we allow to entertain with them is crucial to how we conduct ourselves for our well-being.
