Hey everyone. I'm Sleepy, I have ASD. I chose my name because I am always sleepy, even after getting a whole nights sleep. I feel so lonely in this world with ASD, no one understands me and though I'm classed as high functioning a lot of the time I'm not I can hardly function some days. Made doubly difficult because I'm trying to work too and this is not helping matters. I don't do paid work, I can't function enough to sustain it, but I do volunteer work from time to time. My volunteer work is with children, it's not ideal but my dad is very pushy that I work because it will help me he thinks. I'm feeling it's not helping much at all but so far I've managed to hold this job down for about a month, longer than when I worked in Morrisons. But I'm tired and feel stressed, this makes it difficult to keep going and doing things.
I started yoga, as a self help thing. I haven't noticed any change yet other than feeling I'm sleeping better, though I am still tired all the time but hey ho. I'm hoping as more time goes by with the yoga it will start to improve other areas of my life too. I try to be active as that helps me feel better but most of the time I lack the zest for life or anything else and just want to stay and hide under my duvet.
