Evening all,
This last month has been one hell of a ride and not in the positive way. I was ill for 2 weeks before Christmas which meant I became behind on assignments, then my endometriosis kicked off something chronic, after that I started having problems at my work placement (which lead to me losing it) and last but not least, college not going by my EHCP. I'm not being funny, but what's so difficult about things actually working out?
I may be having key hole surgery to treat my endo as my symptoms have got tons worse over the last three months, in constant pain one way or another. I'm getting really fed up of it. I just don't understand why my body doesn't work, my brain has messed me around enough. Bizarrely, I've been struggling with coming to terms with being autistic again. I've suddenly developed tics/stims I've never experienced before and it's rather discouraging.
Apologies for ranting.
