What have you achieved recently??

What have you achieved lately? List whatever you like, big or small…

I haven’t achieved much sadly. I was on a bit of a downer these last few months as Snowflake, my cat, died suddenly. As she was literally my only friend losing her has hit harder than I imagined it would.

Anyway, one thing I’ve achieved is that every Saturday I’ve been going in to town and having a hot chocolate in the coffee shop. This is huge for me. I always feel anxious and part of me says ‘Are you nuts!?’ but I make myself do it and generally I feel OK when in there and enjoy it.
The coffee shop has been doing an Autistic Morning every Saturday, like our local Morrisons where they dim the lights and don’t play any music so autistic customers don’t get overwhelmed. If they hadn’t done this I wouldn’t have stopped for a hot chocolate the first time.

Definitely a big achievement for me!

  • After a year of trying and failing to get on Ozempic with the NHS, I took matters into my own hands and got a consultation with the Independent Pharmacy for a similar product. Getting approved for it meant getting a copy of my medical records, which involved phone calls and visits to my local health practice. But I was finally able to start the treatment, and am now planning my finances around continuing to afford these privately purchased treatments.
