Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Holy shit wait is this a thing?
I have a phobia of dogs. I got attacked by two herding dogs yesterday and I held my ground in a way that I never knew I could do. I thought I'd piss my pants and faint if it ever happened
I realized a little later how close I came to being absolutely fucked
Did one of my illnesses cancel out the other or what? 😂
When your ass is truly on the line, your brain will take over quite nicely. I don't mean mere fear or apprehension, I mean, "I will die if I don't act as needed." Many go their whole lives without that experience. This is not an "illness" thing.
That might just be adrenaline tbh
Non standard actions in response to stressors is a known possibility with some neurodivergent diagnoses.
Calm responses to subjectively large issues or dangerous situations as well as subjectively oversized reactions to seemingly normal stimuli (sound being a common example).
