Not written for a while....

wrongplanetforme

I’ve not written in over 2years since my diagnosis. I’ve been so focused on me, my business and trying to build a better life with a diagnosis. 

So how has it been?

its been rocky, testing and tiring but finally I have made peace. I know who I am! 

I no longer worry

i no longer wonder why I’m different to others

I no longer have anxiety attacks

I no longer have depressive thoughts

Im at peace with myself

I understand and realise who I am 

And more importantly my partner is at peace with it

Don’t get me wrong I still have my moments but im happy because I realise that I’m normal in my world, it’s just in the working world where I’m not being my own boss of me........others struggle because I can’t conform to expectations and keep up the pace of communication once they are comfortable with me. Chit chat, who needs that!

    Thanks it clearly seems that way and I’m glad I’ve found that peace V️ Slight smile

    Thanks for taking the time to write a reply.

    Self confidence is everything and I think it is that that has given me the sense of self because as you said the diagnosis opened up that realisation. 

    I know I will have set backs as it’s been there but not as intense and I’ve realised way before it escalates why it happened, thus lessening the impact and an episode of anxiety or depression. 

    So thank you again from someone who clearly understands the trials and tribulations of living with asd. 

  • Greetings from Myself as well! While we are all pargraphing here, here is my Post...    ;-)    

    Thanks for coming back and saying something! Positive stuff and relevant stuff is always good here.

    The Diagnosis oppened up support and more realisation, but also the awareness still, that life is not a walkover, and that everyone is different.

    We do it when we need it, or when a Topic usually regarded as 'Trivial ChitChat' is necessary to be discussed at that time, Yessir.

    (E.G. -The Weather or Vacations... Usually used as casual chit-chat... but when necessary, discussing how to compensate for Weather extremes, or the climate of a Holiday destination.)

    Lastly, in the end, Self-Confidence and a sense of Self (a Unique thing you have or know) is always the Best thing to have in life.

    So keep on being You, and, well, for all it means, Good Luck to You from Myself as well. 

  • Good to hear.  Good for you.

    On the right planet at last! Slight smile
