Introducing me

Hi, I’m Alice, aged 24 and apologise in advance for this long introduction .
For the last two years I’ve been struggling a lot with my mental health and unfortunately have and continue to be let down by the mental health services. Everything fell apart after I finished university and transitioned into the adult life. Being autistic I knew that transition would be difficult for me but I started experiencing health issues ( already chronically ill) and soon realised that work would be a challenge for me and especially with working with young children like I always wanted to. I remembered a traumatic time in my life and after that I began to realise I’d been through a lot over the years and kinda fell apart. I haven’t socialised in person for around 2 years now as my friend from uni moved back home and my other friend I don’t see often anymore.
Moving on (lol) I love anything creative arts but especially painting and colouring. I enjoy reading , love crystals and reading about things like astrology, numerology ect. Oh and I love Disney and listen to Taylor swift a lot.
Thanks for reading this and well done for making it to the end lol. I tend to ramble a lot 🫣
