IGNORE POST Can I Ask For Opinions/Views Please

Hi everyone,

PLEASE IGNORE POST

I'm all over the place at the moment, forgetting to take my depression medication for days, then remembering for a couple of days and forgetting again. I'm literally on a rollercoaster. 

I am thinking of starting a project, because I believe in it, and because hopefully fighting for a cause will give me a reason to carry on.

Anyway, I work in early years education, with children who have SEN. I often dislike what professionals suggest in terms of how to work with children who have ASD. I use a lot of my own intuition. With my relatively recent diagnosis,  I understand so much more, in regards to my myself, and the children I work with.

I really believe that change needs to happen, in education,  which may then filter into wider society. I would really like to help make changes.

At the same time, I'm not entirely sure if my rollercoaster mental state is making me think I can do this, or that it could even make a difference.  I was thinking of research to compile and write a book. This could be my own emotional fantasy that's doing this.

I would be really grateful for your views, ideas and opinions. Including places where I could work that may make a change.

If you think that my messed up mind is tricking me, please tell me that also.

Thank you, and sorry for long post.

  • For the medication thing in addition to the box already mentioned do you use a mobile?  If so you could set alerts on your calendar.  For the SEN research, do it, I was chair of govs at 2 primaries until recently and the difference in provision just between those 2 was quite marked so my take is that if you could bring some clarity and direction that would be great.  As you say it will also give you a purpose and hopefully help you.

  • Thank you so much BJS! I'm jumping around all over the place and not sure how to settle myself, hoping a meaningful project will help.
