Theory of the Bathroom Door

[genderjumper]

You know how, if you are in one place long enough, you learn the exact right amount of strength needed to close a door? Based on deviations from today, cross-referenced with past deviations noted or suspected, I present the theory of my state of mind based on how well I close the bathroom door at my house:

• Door does not close all the way, especially if it's more than an inch and Kiddo is awake: I'm really tired, I'm emotionally drained, or I'm distracted.
• Door closes completely or nearly: all is well.
• Accidentally close the door too hard/loudly: I'm overstimulated, in a hurry, or potentially hypomanic.

Will report back on findings if anything comes of them.

Here is a good breakdown of the basics, if you are interested. My sensory difficulties are mostly audio and tactile, but I know enough people with vestibular stims and sensitivity for your stuff to sound familiar.
