A question that often plagues my mind in my day-to-day life is: How can I advocate for myself and my needs, without feeling or seeming selfish?
Say I'm at work, and the lights are too bright. Luckily, at my office, the lights can be dimmed and the color temperature can be changed. This is great...
I felt like I haven't even blinked and the entire year is over. My seasonal affective disorder is absolutely ruthless now that the sun is setting at four in the evening. I've been trying my hardest to practice my hobbies— journaling and tarot reading (yes really)— every day and so far. As for...
Let's see. Mostly a normal morning today. Not in too bad of a mood, more on the meh, side.
The drive to work this morning was also quite uneventful, barring the usual antics of taxi drivers here, no regard to road rules or anyone on the road.
Always had problems with expressing or being able to...

There’s not a lot to say that hasn’t already been said. It feels that way most days. It feels like a big question mark in my chest. I’ve heard somewhere, “There are years that ask, and years that answer.” This year answers, but new question marks are planted, moved...
My sleeping schedule is now reversed and it has been awful for my mood. I'm terrified of having a bad sleeping schedule because I have my fur baby to take care of, and if I'm unable to walk and feed her then she doesn't get taken care of and it's my fault. Not to mention I'm hungry all the time...
Mop the floor in the bathroom.
Mop the floor in the kitchen.
Take my medicine and vitamins.
Walk my fur baby.
Feed my fur baby.
Shower.
Brush teeth.
Write in my private food diary.
Wash my dishes.
Here is a list of my chores I need to do tomorrow. Most of these are things I do everyday but it...
I finally started a plan with my dietitian last Thursday and so far I've been following it pretty well. Though I discovered that I can no longer eat PB&J because it goes over my limit of 45mg carbohydrates per meal. Even if it's on whole wheat bread. Right now I'm stuck using the microwave for...
It was a bright summer morning when my parents and I began our much-anticipated summer vacation carrying our bags to the bus station on Stone Street. There, a crimson bus filled with excited passengers eager for their upcoming holidays waited to leave for Prague at 6:00 AM. There was an air of...
At last I finally got everything I needed to do DONE! I'm now able to relax in bed without anxiety balling up inside my stomach. Things went very smoothly with my blood work and with my first dietitian appointment. I even got to pet a dog today! I'm super relieved everything went as well as it...
I got my blood drawn and now I have to wait for 11:00 AM so I can go to see my dietitian for the first time, but I'm tired since I had to wake up at 4:00 AM in order to have enough time to get ready for both appointments. Not to mention my apartment might be getting inspected and I hardly have...
I have so much to do and I'm so overwhelmed.
Tomorrow I get my second Moderna shot and I have to prepare for a USDA inspection for my apartment. I didn't get any preparations done today and I made dinner which I barely ate any of. I'm upset with myself.
On the 19th is the official inspection...
I had my first meltdown in over a year today. And today is the first day I have recognized that my meltdowns are, maybe, different than an NT might exprience.
Despite the draining, ugly nature of my meltdown, seeing this event differently is a relief!
Ever since I remember, meltdowns have...
I babysat my three year old neice yesterday. We were watching t.v. and she was sitting on my lap when she told me "You have funny boobs". It took all of effort to not laugh. I had been feeling quite pressured and stressed but that one line made everything right again.
I have taken several online Autisim assessment quizes, tests now. I have repeated the AQ test about 5 times and the Aspie Quiz 3 times. I have also completed a similar test from a book I sm reading. No matter what mood I am in, no matter how I check my self to ensure honest answers, I get...
I had my first informal meeting today. It seems they liked me (yay!!!) and I will have my official interview on Thursday. They also invited us to come out to their campus to meet everyone and I will most likely be going next month. If all goes well (it never seems to but I am deciding it will go...
If people only knew how much stress and anxiety they caused others, they wouldn't torture them by waiting until last minute to give them vital information. Which is ironic, considering I am an Aspie. I got the call this morning at 9am that I got into my Radiography program. The admissions person...
This week I find out if I am accepted into a Radiography program at my local college. Actually, it should be today. My advisor told me a couple months ago that she would call accepted students on the 8th, "why make student's wait?!", she said. She was very chatty and seemed optimistic I would...
