That’s not my problem
I found a few content creators online who advise on how to speak professionally instead of being direct, which especially helps when we are at work. Apparently instead of ‘that’s not my problem’ we should say ‘let me see what I can do to help you’. I will remember that. It may help in my…

Psych meds chat
It seems I am doing ok on 25mg of lamotrigine. It also seems that it reduced my appetite so I am quite happy about that. No change on the depression front as yet but I’m only on a starting dose. Yesterday evening I was exchanging texts with a friend who has problems with depression and…

Getting the hint
I have a friend who used to invest in stocks in Poland in the 90s. It was a new thing in our country at the time as stock market wasn’t available during communism. So I asked her if she wants to trade. ‘We could compare strategies’ I said. She asked what she needed to start.…

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…

Drama, drama!
As some of you may be aware, I broke off with a friend on the blog some time in the middle of August last year. It probably wasn’t very elegant and I wonder whether prioritising creating content was the right approach but it happened and also I never revealed that friend name so the only…

The heating engineer
I came from work at around 3pm and was waiting for the heating engineer to check on my broken boiler. I told them I’ll be in from 3.30pm as I wanted to tidy up a bit first. At around 3.38 I heard someone mentioning my address on the street, like if they were speaking over…

I don’t want my wellness to be evaluated
Yesterday I was on one of my Facebook group and spoke with a lady who organises breakfast club somewhere in my town. The club apparently runs between 7 and 11 am Monday to Friday, first visit is free and it has all been created to connect people so there’s chat and friendly atmosphere. I was…
Autistic and me
