Hello,
I have just recently been diagnosed, though there have been suspicions for some time..
Basically I'm shattered from the whole process, I was shattered anyway from developing epilepsy (now controlled, I am very lucky) losing job, being on benefits with undiagnosed autism and fun epilepsy, moving house 3 times in 3 years and twice in 8 months ect ect ect the list goes on as I'm sure it does for many of you also.
What I'm wondering is, is there anywhere, holiday camp/retreat/something where I can go and just be quiet and have someone bring me food but otherwise basically leave me alone? I just need to catch my breath.
I am not after early morning yoga, hours of meditation, group nature walks, therapy, raw smoothies or anything involving gongs.
I also don't think I'm in the kind of state that requires I be admitted to hospital with the psychiatrists and such. I do however realise that is where I will end up if I don't manage to catch my breath.
Also I am pretty penny less due to the benefits..
Am I hoping for something that doesn't exist? Should I just go set up a tent somewhere within the deliveroo catchment area? Is the search for a pet unicorn liable to be more fruitful than this endeavour? Do you get one automatically when they send your your letter of official autism? I can't tell you how disappointed I will now be when there is not a unicorn in that envelope.. why do I do this to myself..
Back on track! Flotation tank weekends! Anything, seriously any suggestions very greatfully received!
