  • Feeling mentally refreshed

    That’s a new feeling for me, isn’t it? Some of you may remember how I used to complain about being mentally tired all the time. What caused it? A book I’m reading in Polish. ‘Honey, I killed the cats’ by Dorota Masłowska (you can download English language version from Kindle store). The novel is classed…

  • Being heard is better than being seen

    That’s an interesting article about Paulina Porizkova, I don’t know if you remember her? She used to be a famous model several years ago, now she’s in her 50s. It’s really interesting so please read it. It will help you improve your social imagination. The article was clearly written to promote a book but I…

  • Why do people love Costa?

    I found out a few days ago that Costa gives clients free slice of cake (or muffin, shortbread or other sweet treat) on their birthday, you just need Costa app to claim it. I’m not a big Costa lover but I thought I’d give it a try. I downloaded the app and went for my…

  • I miss Poland, terribly

    I didn’t get to blog very often recently and I don’t think this is going to change. One reason is I now have permanent job, the other is the fact that my olanzapine tablets improved my emotional regulation so I don’t have to use my blog to vent. This festive season was a bit difficult…

  • Moaning and neurotypicals

    I didn’t post for a few days; I am certain most of my readers are focused on getting ready for Christmas rather than worrying about keeping up with my blog, but I did miss my writing. Quite frankly I miss posting every day and I may need to look for ways to be able to…

  • The need for importance

    I’m reading ‘How to win friends and influence people’ by Dale Carnegie. I’m sure you heard about this book, it’s a classic in psychology and social skills training. First published in 1936, so a little while ago; one of the chapters talks about how every human has the need to feel important, the author goes…

  • Autism and cheating

    I read a post on a forum yesterday where a neurotypical man was worried that his autistic girlfriend may be cheating on him. He didn’t say what the signs of her cheating are, other than doing full make up to go to a supermarket (how is this a sign of cheating? I will never understand…

  • R.I.P. Ashley

    Do you remember Ashley Peterson, the mental health blogger who used to comment on my posts a lot before I cosed comments? She passed away on the 9th of October and her family hinted on the blog she commited suicide. What else those words could mean? ‘She could no longer bear the suffering she was…

  • I’ve withdrawn from uni

    University of Hull offered me a full refund for my course and, with a heavy heart, I accepted it. I am still glad that I went for it and maybe I needed to make that quick, impulsive decision I made while standing in the corridor of a Sandalwood (Swindon mental hospital) at the end of…

  • Very grey thinking

    I imagined yesterday evening that I was practicing grey thinking. It felt very easy and I had the impression that I could master it and then, when I tried to think about writing my next uni assignment, I immediately started feeling tense again. I presume the fact that I don’t insist on leaving my uni…
