  • Bipolar

    A few days ago I finally accepted that I have bipolar. Earlier on, when I talked about it, I’d usually say that I was diagnosed with bipolar but I don’t really identify with it. I guess that was because I never overspend, never do anything risky (except of course staying employed by Home Group) and…

  • Starting from scratch is not always the answer

    I am unhappy a lot lately. I am unhappy possibly because I’m going through depressive episode but if I want to argue I could say I have things to be unhappy about: I don’t have family. I never really wanted children, my parents passed away a while ago and my brother is an alcoholic. I…

  • Sun turned out to be a temporary fix

    It’s Easter Sunday. It was just yesterday when I post that I’d like John to come over for a bit longer than a few hours but I don’t want to put him in a situation where he has to change his plans. Today I want to cancel: I feel depressed again. Good weather turned out…

  • Can intention shape our lives?

    It’s almost Easter. John is coming over tomorrow but only for a couple of hours as I don’t feel very well mentally. Or possibly I should have said I didn’t feel very well till just a few days ago. I was depressed, but not hopeless and sad; it was very strange because my mood was…

  • The difference between stupidity and courage

    I just saw this quote on Facebook: Courage is knowing it may hurt and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that’s why life is hard. I couldn’t agree more. My late mum told me that when I was a toddler I insisted on walking into nettles that were somewhere around our farm. I’d…

  • Autism and making decisions

    I recently became aware of an autistic female support worker who have been working in care for over 15 years, so longer than me, and was only recently diagnosed. She started looking for another job and disclosed her diagnosis to the employer. The employer then came up with reasonable adjustment for her, without asking her…

  • Beginner’s luck

    I’ve heard that beginner’s luck is a real phenomenon. What do you think? I tried trading recently and initially earned 15% within three weeks, but a few more days and it went down to 9%. It doesn’t matter that much because I was trading with $50 only so you could say it was an entertainment…

  • Being patient with clueless people

    I had a situation recently when someone who found me online asked me for advice but then refused to take it and yet kept asking for more advice and opinion. I will not be giving details here as it would be too long and confusing, I will only say that it was about how to…

  • Taking things too directly again?

    I went to Primark and saw this sweatshirt: ‘Give yourself space to grow’ written on 2XS piece of garment? What does that mean? If I saw this quote on Facebook it would mean ‘you need to focus on improving yourself’ but on a sweatshirt it seems to mean ‘this is a loose fitting piece of…

  • Was it worth it?

    My blog is a form of creative self expression. I set it up around 20 months ago. Up until recently I’d often blog about workplace bullying and it was all based on my own life experience. Because of what happened during my employment tribunal claim (Home Group claiming my autism diagnosis was private and they…
