Hello! I've been taking a Neocities break so I haven't seen any messages before now. I've replied to several people who wanted to join the mental heal circle. If you posted a message and I missed it please don't hesitate to let me know. ♡

Your site is so sweet! I hope you find more of an online community for autistic folks, there's a lot of us, and you can learn little tricks for how to deal with life more easily and figure out what works for you! I'm sorry you had such a rough childhood... I hope the future will be kinder to you.

Thanks <3 I'm still learning how to code this website, so I hope to constantly improve.

Also, I appreciate your page on old dolls. You can't imagine how happy it makes me to see old dolls. Also, my name actually is AnnaBelle, so you can imagine all the torment I go through because of that movie...

Oh! Thanks so much it’s okay I get it! Can the description be “A young artists website, with a vent blog and soon showing other things to help cope.” If that’s okay!

the 30 second eye exercise worked for me, thanks for sharing! will try out the limb exercise (which makes sense, people often "relax" each bodypart as they're falling asleep)

looks like deep breathing (~6-8 breaths/min) helps engage the parasympathetic nervous system too https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5709795/

Good observations! There is a lot of research that corroborates and/or verifies pretty much everything that you have stated. Attempting to consciously slow both the breath and heart rate, as well as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) techniques like the "body scan", are very effective ways of relaxing an overstimulated sympathetic nervous system and engaging the parasympathetic system.

There are also many "physical" tools and approaches that can assist with this process (such as brainwave entrainment, biofeedback devices, vagus nerve stimulation, reducing caffine/nicotine intake, etc.).

In reference to the "default mode network", I assume you are referring to Gary Weber's work (e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX1IFUDNtto)? Challenging the validity of one's negative thinking through "thought records" and "reality testing" is done extensively throughout various forms of modern psychotherapy too, especially CBT.

By changing our mental-emotional state we can affect the literal structure and functioning of the body, and vice versa. I look forward to more social awareness about this fact as fields like "psychoneuroimmunology" are further developed. Thank you for sharing!
