TW self harm
Nottingham hospital have discharged me yyayy. No more travelling and they said now the gp can do the dressing changes until it’s fully healed and I’m on waiting list for occupational therapy for scar/ plastic surgery management- cause it’s not healed so can’t see them yet. I’m happy about no more travelling to there just yet until healed and see occupational team

Short story opening
"Hey Elijah."
Ruby didn't even look up from her book as her best friend Elijah entered the room.
"Nice to see you too." He said, mock annoyed.
Ruby looked up, a warm smile on her deep red lips. "I was reading!"
"And that means you get to ignore me?" Elijah smirked. Ruby placed her book down. "You said there was something important?" She pressed. "Right, right." He cleared his throat, "I found a note in my locker."
"Who from?"
"I don't know!" Elijah explained. He showed Ruby a note in intricate loopy writing.
Want to solve a mystery, as you both like to do?
Go to the oak tree tomorrow at three.
If you don't want to, leave us be,
But your curiousity will lead you,
I guarantee.
"Huh." Ruby said. "Should we go, or is it risky?"
Elijah shrugged. "Maybe we should check it out."
Ruby nodded. "Okay."

Re: What are you listening to?
Sorry it feels confusing, @Rose113. We thought this would be a nice space to discuss music and maybe share some of the playlists you really like or you are listening to right now. Here is the community playlist of the week!

thank you again🩷
thank you again🩷
Re: Occupational Therapy
@Asillyautisticfrog it very much depends on the reason you’re having it. I had it back in 2023, I’m disabled so it was partly for that but partly for mental health. They can do onward referrals if you need them to specific teams, they referred me into the sensory impairment team and it turned out I had been out of that system since I left school (by that point nearly 5 years).
A lot of it is about practical strategies you can use to help whatever you’re struggling with, and learning new ways to cope. Tbh I hardly remember what it was like (that time of my life is a massive blur that I would rather forget anyway) but I think I did find talking to the lady helpful.

Re: Autism
hey @nem - it can be really difficult to get diagnosed, or even just listened to at all sadly:(
i know from my experience, having evidence from professionals for long enough wasn’t enough to even get anywhere!!! though now, i am finally being listened to.
i’m sure you have already done this, but definitely do your research n everything to help support you with being listened to by professionals if you want to look into it further - it helps a lot.
wait lists are also really long too sadly, so even when you are listened to, you’ll have a ridiculously long time to wait!
i hope it works out for you❤️
