Tips to make life easier

Els

Hey there!

I struggle to communicate my feelings and go about day to day life. I am very high functioning but sometimes things can get overwhelming. Is there anything you do or items you have to make life a bit easier?

For example, I had Loop earplugs for when I’m out shopping or just in public (I am in the middle of ordering new ones since I lost one of the earplugs Disappointed) 

Also, when I’m too overwhelmed, I tend to find it easier to write my thoughts and feelings down for the other person to help. 

Anything else?

    Hi   I was diagnosed 18 months ago and since then I  have gradually discovered how much support I do actually need in life, and to many others they would consider me as high functioning: I do limited disclosure - close family member don't know

    So just take care - you don't just mask and push yourself into burnout sooner and repeatedly, in order to maintain "I don't need support", others may actually already be compensating and supporting you, which you've not realised yet.
