Episode 2 of Letters to My Younger Self.

My socks were inside out.

My friends laughed.

I didn't understand why something that helped me was funny.

My mam never made it a big thing.

She just quietly fixed it.

Because she noticed.
Because she listened.

I didn't know then how much that mattered.

This one is for every child who needed things a little differently.

And for every person who quietly made space for them. 💜

Episode 1 of something I've been wanting to make for a while.
This really happened.
I was 8.
I made her a card because we couldn't afford to buy one.
I used cake cases for the shells.
I thought it looked nice.
The door shut.
I cried all the way home.
And I carried that "what did I do wrong?" for a very long time.
If you had a door like that, this series is for you too. 🧵💜

Every. Single. Day. 😮‍💨
Laughing at the right moments.
Saying the right things.
Keeping the lid on.
Performing "normal" so convincingly that nobody notices how much it's costing you.
That's masking.
And it is exhausting.
Masking means using enormous amounts of energy to hide the real you, so you can feel safe, accepted, or "not too much", often without even realising you're doing it.
The problem is, you can only mask for so long before your body and brain send you the bill. Hello, burnout.
You don't have to perform to belong.
Your real self, the unmasked, unfiltered, beautifully wired version of you, deserves space too. 💜
Understanding why you mask, and what to do about it, is part of the journey. And that's exactly what The Loom Library is here to walk through with you.

They haven't replied. And now your brain is spiralling 💜
Did I say something wrong?
Do they actually like me?
Maybe I should just disappear..
If this feels familiar, you might be experiencing rejection sensitive dysphoria, an intense emotional response to perceived rejection or criticism that many neurodivergent people experience.
It's not being "too sensitive".
It's not being dramatic.
It's your brain trying to protect you from hurt, working overtime, the only way it knows how.
You are not too much.
You just feel things deeply.
And that is okay.
You deserve people and spaces that make you feel like you belong, because you do. 💜
Understanding your brain is one of the most powerful first steps you can take. That's what The Loom Library is here to help with.

Ever said "I'll do it in a minute" and looked up to find three hours had vanished? ⏰

That's not poor time management.

That's time blindness and it's a very real experience for many neurodivergent brains.
Time blindness means your brain genuinely struggles to sense time passing. It's not that you don't care about deadlines. It's that your internal clock works differently to everyone else's.

Some things that can help:
💜 Visual timers (so you can see time moving)
💜 Reminders and alarms
💜 Body doubling
💜 Gentle routines
💜 And above all, self compassion
You're not bad at time. You're not irresponsible. Your brain just works differently and once you understand that, you can start building systems that actually work for you. 💜
That's what The Loom Library is here to help with.

There are times when my brain 🧠 screams too much and I can't escape the constant thoughts.

The to-do list is endless. Everyone needs something. You don't know where to start, so you don't. And then you feel guilty for that too.

But here's what I want you to know: overwhelm isn't laziness. It isn't weakness. It's your brain hitting its limit and asking for help.

When it happens, try asking yourself just four questions:

💜 What's urgent?
💜 What can wait?
💜 What can I let go of?
💜 What would help me right now?

You don't have to do it all. You just have to do the next small thing.
Your brain isn't lazy. It's overloaded. And you deserve gentleness, not criticism. 💜
Understanding your brain is one of the most powerful first steps you can take and that's exactly what The Loom Library is here to help with."

Before I knew what was wrong with my brain 🧠 I suffered terribly with/and because of intrusive thoughts.

One of the most influential things I remember reading about was by Dr. Peters "The Chimp Paradox". He explains that the brain has an emotional, impulsive, and irrational part (the "Chimp") that often works against you, and a rational part (the "Human").

So, what I took from it was: think of yourself and your brain as separate beings, or better still, think of your brain as a chimp. You're not always in control of your chimp. Sometimes your chimp says things you don't agree with, or shows you things you don't want to see.

That doesn't instantly make you a bad person.

It's just that some brains can filter out intrusive thoughts, while others hold onto them and that can leave you feeling like you're not a nice person because of thoughts you never chose to have.

You are not your thoughts. 💜

If any of this resonates with you, you're not alone and understanding how your brain works is one of the most powerful first steps you can take. That's exactly what The Loom Library is here to help with.

A gentle reminder for anyone who needed to hear it today 🌹

So many of us have spent years being told we're too much.

Too sensitive,
too intense,
too reactive,
too loud,
too quiet,
too honest,
too withdrawn.

And after a while, you start believing the script, that there's something wrong with how you respond to the world.

But here's the reframe: those responses didn't come from nowhere. They grew because something in your environment made them necessary.

A nervous system that's been navigating a world not built for it learns to protect itself.

That's not a flaw, that's wisdom in action.

You're allowed to have thorns.
You're allowed to take up space.
You're allowed to bloom in your own colours, on your own timeline.
