Good morning
What would you say a typical day is like for you?
Do you work? Go to college or university?
Or like me, do you stay home, all day every day, seemingly for the rest of your life?
Ok I'm depressing myself now.
Thanks to mental health and some physical health problems as well my life has become an endless circle of more less staying at home, usually in my room. I go out sometimes but not for long. My home is my safe space.
At home I'll usually listen to music, watch films and TV series, read, play with my toys, brush my hair and that's pretty much it.
Thinking about it I often wonder why I'm here. It's not really the sort of life I imagined for myself. I thought by now I might have a friend, husband, kids... I definitely thought I would be working by now.
But for now... For the foreseeable this is my future.
How's a typical day for you?
I mostly work from home so most weekdays I get up around 8am, feed my cat, get myself ready and log in. Then around 5pm I start making my dinner. After dinner I generally sit around feeling bored and lonely and watch TV.
On weekends I go to the supermarket.
Working from home must be nice. I know it suits a lot of people on the spectrum best, rather than having to go out.
