  • Something positive

    For a few days now one of the games I downloaded when I was in Poland sends me an unusual notification every evening: ‘Love is everywhere. Just look for it.’ There is a heart symbol at the end. When I first saw it I thought it’s really strange, why a game would send this type…

  • How to deal with bullying

    https://bullies2buddies.com/who-we-are/meet-the-author/ I just came across the above website by Izzy Kalman, a psychologist who offers alternative approach to bullying based on being friendly. I wonder if that works, I guess it may in a lot of situations, and I do agree with the author 100 percent that approaching bullying by involving other people to take…

  • How I look for a job

    So I see a job advert, let’s call it job A, I quite like it and apply for it. Then I see job B adverised, it still sounds ok but I would prefer job A. I feel like I should not apply for job B till after I find out I wasn’t successful with A.…

  • The sad truth

    I spent yesterday looking through some job adverts and thinking what to do with myself. I was seriously considering getting a care job through an agency, even though I don’t drive so it may be difficult getting from place to place, but I thought working through an agency will give me the chance to avoid…

  • Home at last

    I felt very weird when I got into my flat yesterday, it seemed like something is different. I remember thinking to myself ‘this is your home now’. I never thought about it as my home, home was in Smardzewice, the flat in Swindon was only a place where I lived. I suppose now, after I…

  • Hostel in Kraków – freaking out!

    I usually stay in hostels when I’m travelling. Most times I book a bed in a dorm room and I never really had any issue with that, more over, the bigger the room the the easier it is to ignore everyone there. The problem that I have sometimes is that beds are not very comfortable…

  • Nothing will ever be the same again

    That’s how I feel: there’s something I need to say goodbye to but nothing else is going to appear in this place, or at least nothing positive. There will be unpaid bills and angry phone calls from my brother. Mum will never cook pierogi for me again. I’m unlikely to ever sleep in my family…

  • How does dementia start?

    I didn’t sleep very long again but I should be ok. I’m thinking now that I’m glad I came and even that I lost my ID and had to stay longer. Due to that I could have seen how my mum’s mental state deteriorated, if I didn’t see that I would not believe she has…

  • I’m not going back

    My emotions are so raw now. I don’t want to go anywhere, I feel so bad for leaving my mum now, when she needs me more than anything. She has care but… I need to be able to see her. To see how she’s coping. To see how much she changed. What if she doesn’t…

  • Silent meltdown

    Meltdown is apparently when an autistic person loses touch with reality, may scream, cry or even lay down under the table. Well, at least that’s what I was made to believe. I never behave this way. I feel like I’m screaming inside but I keep my cool. I was probably screaming as a child at…
