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?

    Excellent start. Lists are great for 'getting on top of things'. And it's easy to order online when you don't feel like going out. Sometimes I don't go out for a couple of weeks. Call it an extended 'duvet day.' There is a useful little thing called, 'my social battery' on e-bay, which has a slider to indicate from Neutral face to Smiley , which is a useful personal indicator for your coffee table, so you can decide where you are before going out.
