• I want to speak with mummy

  It’s been almost two weeks since I last posted. Not like me at all, although I do feel sometimes that I started repeating myself lately. I did state a while ago that I don’t grieve any more and here you are: now I so badly want to call my mum it’s almost painful. Otherwise I […]

• My unusual beliefs

  I am perfectly aware that believing I’m on speech and language therapy delivered by the community is unusual, but what supports this theory is that I have almost no misunderstandings with people, or, to be precise, no misunderstandings that upset me, which was common a few years ago. Or is it possible, do you think, […]

• Should I apologise to my neighbours?

  1. Those kind of things always confused me: is it better to apologise for something you did unintentionally or maybe it’s better to pretend I forgot? As you may know the floor in my flat is really poor quality, I have installed soundproofing boards in my main bedroom but I recently mostly sleep in my […]

• Olanzapine meltdown

  So I decided, at the end, that aripiprazole was not a drug I can stay on. It seemed to make me really good at the beginning but this is long gone now. When I have a good night sleep I am moreless ok, but if I don’t, I just end up walking around my flat […]

• Uni – what have I done again?!

  So, of course I didn’t click on a link in the Canvas app, because it wasn’t highlighted in blue, and I didn’t realise that’s where I get assignment brief from. I then emailed student advisors team to tell them I don’t know what to do. They must have thought I’m daft. However, the post is […]

• I was a racist once

  I need to discuss this uncomfortable concept here. I was thinking that, although we all, in British society, try to raise the awareness of racism we rarely talk in details about what it actually is and what it isn’t. The British don’t want to touch this subject because they are worried they will be attacked […]

• Why I lost my job

  Well, I need to do say that finally, don’t I? I lost my job because I was using mobile at work and I already had two warnings. It was obviously a bit more complicated than that and the whole problem started in 2018 on a staff Christmas party where all the three care homes staff […]

• Procedures – Safety Engineering vs Social Care

  As you may know, my fiance, John, who’s also autistic, works as a safety engineer. An inspector, if you prefer. That means he checks if people in his field follow safety procedures. The last two days we had this conversation about how procedures are approached in his field and in social care. I edited it […]

• Can’t wait for my large canvases (should I just quit????)

  As you may know I had rebound mania since just after leaving hospital on Thursday. While waiting to be discharged I decided to go to uni, chose a subject within like 2 minutes and the university within the next 30 seconds. And then, while already at home, I decided to provide confidence building training for […]

• How I developed my third episode

  Ok, that hasn’t been discussed yet. Somehow all three episodes are connected to issues with employment. The only difference is that in case of Home Group, and then the other employer – learning disability care provider – the employers were clearly to blame. With Fessey House the problem was, they seemed too good to be […]
