Hey everyone.
I just wanted to say I do really apologise for not being to great on the afternoon support chat today, and for leaving and not talking about anything.
Things have just been really hard lately, I have had a few difficult conversations with family members recently that have left me feeling incredibly awful.
I have only just found out that I actually have an official diagnosis of PTSD and nobody has ever thought to tell me that I have that as a diagnosis.
Lately my life just hasn't been great and it has gotten me so overwhelmed to the point where talking just felt incredibly pointless.
I have been trying my absolute hardest just like how I try to do all the time.
Some or you may know that recently my mobility hasn't been the best and I have been spending a lot of time working on relearning to walk which has only just recently been starting to come back. I am able to walk short distances now but it feels like it drains away my energy.
I have a suspected ear infection developing again which sucks as I am supposed to be having surgery soon and that can't be done if I have an infection.
I don't even know how to explain anything at this point as I have been so messed up. I feel like a whole different person due to how things have been lately and I absolutely hate that.
I have ASD, I am very much different to other people, my brain works differently, I process things differently and a lot of people just don't seem to understand that.
I am very capable of doing things but some things do seem harder to me then they should be.
I literally have a stuffed animal collection, and yes at my age, and I already have people who question me on it but they just make me feels safe and grounded so I don't personally see the problem.
Also my epilepsy was out of control for a while and so I had investigations and get the results in October.
All I am wanting to do is help and spread awareness on mental health and things but people aren't to supportive of my goals.
But yeah that's just a basic outline on how things have been recently.
