I've just released v0.3.3 of Pygenda - my WIP #Psion-inspired agenda app for keyboard-equipped mobile linux devices. Main change is to move to more modern packaging, which should mean less fiddly installation & less work for me. So in theory a good time to try it out.
I've just released v0.3.2 of Pygenda - my #Psion-inspired agenda app for keyboard-equipped Linux PDAs. If you're not sure what that would look like, here's a video of an earlier version running on my #GeminiPDA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvQqFmlZ6nM
Main changes since the last release:
• An import function, so you can import entries from iCal files.
• Dutch translations - thanks to Heimen Stoffels, a freelance translator: https://github.com/Vistaus
I think the wildest thing about Pathological Demand Avoidance is that folks don't realize that we don't -just- do it to other people. Where we resist doing tasks asked of us. We also do it to ourselves and that's what causes a lot of mental paralysis. Our own heads make so many demands our body only has the energy to resist.
It's taken me an incredible amount of time to be able to understand this. The energy we burn with anxiety and overthinking and paranoia pushes us into a chronic exhaustion. And our body's only way to rebel and protect itself is to shut down.
It's not working against us, but without a way to understand what your own body is doing - it FEELS like it's fighting us. When it's just incredibly exhausted and wants to be left alone.
If you're struggling with this too, I'm so sorry. I don't have much to say except that your nasty head parrot needs to shut up - and you need to give yourself time between tasks. Like half an hour at least.
Make chores and requests on YOUR time as much as you can get away with.
Training lunch break & watching vids as a brain palate cleanser of sorts. I found this fascinating. Such parenting supports weren't available 20 yrs ago. It's wonderful to see #autism#parenting#pda communities offering validation, support & education. This video reminded me of a time I visited my sister when my niece was a baby. She couldn't stop playing w/a toy that was frustrating her, she cried every time she hit it but kept doing it. #cognitivepsychology https://youtu.be/1ozg_e2XHvI?si=c_CebRLvpPZMvjOr
