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 stay home all day every day too. Remember this is just a period of your life and eventually you will want to clamber back out there again. You will probably then return to more solitary pursuits and then you will get bored of that again and give life another try. That has been my experience as an Autist.
Thank you. I'm looking forward to reaching the point where I start living again. I feel I've been stuck in the mental health circle for too long now.
I hear you. I'm going to try and push myself a tiny bit more in 2024.
Thanks. I will definitely need it. Knowing me.
Best of luck with that Former Member, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
