Ovewhelm
When I feel tired or overwhelmed, too much to do, too much to think about, my executive functioning starts to fail, the bees in my brain start buzzing and I become unable to function or speak. This is a problem when you have deadlines, a part time job you need to function fully for and art work to make.
3 days on the sofa to shush the bees is not always an option.
I used to think this was my failing to be a functioning human, it’s not. It’s autism. The synapses in my brain fire differently and it allows the bees in.
Image Description: Image shows skull with collaged bees in place of a brain, text from old books is collaged in some areas and ink is used to draw some traditional portraiture over the skull.
