The Herculean Effort just to be normal

Desmond79

All I had to do this afternoon was head over to a house for a viewing. It became a Survivor Immunity Challenge. I left the house two hours early, due to my anxiety, and I was trying to find places to go to and even went to the Chemist at that village, just to use the loo. However, I got £20 of diesel at a filling station run by an old school friend, and came back to the house in good enough time.

But, then, the driveway was blocked by other viewers, and it was impossoble to get out without reversing onto the main road - an illegal manoeuvre - and drove home in such a panic I was at one time doing 70 MPH on a B Road.

But, on a positive note, my weighted blanket - which I ordered from Etsy on Monday - came today. It was just what the Doctor ordered. And a few outreach calls have calmed me down.

  • I'm very new to the Autism stuff but I was previously diagnosed with BPD and a lot of the stuff I did for that was mindfulness, and ignoring that it's become a bit of a handwavy buzzword sometimes it's really helped when trying to spot dangerous behaviors when under stress for me. Not sure if it would help but it's the only advice I can give, Take Care!

    Also... Any chance of the link to your blanket?

    We make gaming accessories for things like tabletop games and card games etc. Basically, most of our products look like colourful dragons :p. Right now (literally) I'm working on the design for a loose ring binder, not exactly your average leather work.

    I know we're not supposed to put identifying stuff on here but I'm happy to send you a link to our stuff if you like, just PM me if you want the link.
