What do your days consist of?

A=BCD

What does your average day look like?

My perfect happy routine was shattered and I’ve not been able to find a new routine since. I no longer have the luxury of going out for a drive, something I did, regularish. At home I try to busy myself but normally I’ll do the same thing each day which isn’t a lot.

Days consist of,

Cooking, reading, looking through pictures, listening to music and cleaning. I will occasionally go shopping normally now on a Saturday when I get my drink. I have thought of volunteering but I lack the courage to do it and I don’t have the ambition since being on my own.

  • My main work day is a Sunday and the rest of the time I’m supposed to be responsible for use my time effectively. So it’s often a lot of guilt about what I’m not doing (like housework and cooking more healthily). I think I’m learning about the need to decompress from being around people and that being ok. I’d like to get some more structure (eating regularly and more healthily, doing some exercise) and also finding the courage or emotional / mental bandwidth to do more with other people (eg tabletop gaming, playing music with a band). Having been diagnosed was ASD I’ve also been told to request an ADHD assessment so I hope that might help me learn how to balance the sense of need for routine and structure  / struggling to create or maintain the routine thing for myself. 

    I hope you are able to find the routines that work for you and thank you for sharing your experience and asking the question.
