My psychiatric nurse is leaving
I saw my nurse yesterday and she said she’s leaving. I am quite sad about it. I really liked her. I’m however a bit confused if she’s going to leave for sure, just because of the way she’s said that – that she will be working ‘in one of the surgeries’ which then made me […]

Follow the flow of what?
This is just another post about my digital detox, and I didn’t want to call it just ‘digital detox’ while ‘feeling a bit better’ doesn’t seem appropriate in case I’ll feel worse again soon. I really do not know what is symptom of what, and that is the problem, but since yesterday evening I feel […]

It has nothing to do with taking off the masks we were supposed to wear because of Covid pandemic. Masking is all the effort autistic people do to appear neurotypical, and […]

Should we be allowed to just be ourselves
I didn’t post yesterday, but this was only because I was giving my website a bit of a break from me, after those emotional 3 days. It’s Sunday today, almost 1pm (when I was writing the first draftof this post). John visited me but he’s already gone! I did notice that he talks differently to […]

I don’t have rejection sensitive dysphoria either
As I keep seeing that concept being mentioned over and over on various Facebook groups, I realised that after reading my previous posts some could decide I have it. And I really don’t agree with that. Basically rejection sensitive dysphoria is when someone is oversensitive to rejection. It’s not a diagnosis so there’s no criteria […]
