  • As someone else suggested, I do also reccommend exercise, as counter intuitive as it may seem. What hours are you working? Morning shifts can be a bit harder to recover from if you dont find some way to get yourself out of the slump. I used to give myself an hour in front of the tv back when I worked mornings, then force myself to do some housework which would often jolt me back to life by breaking up the day. When I work later shifts, I try to claim as much of my morning for myself as I can, be it chores or exercise, so when I get home, if I have energy left for hobbies then that is a bonus, but I stay strict on my bedtimes so I can keep getting the mornings









  • Im nearly home. Visiting my sister who just moved in to a new house up the hill from the ferry port where I got of the boat. My bike is not going to manage a ride back to london as my rear brake has broken and the routes are all very hilly, so I will be getting a train back after breakfast. Luckily I have a single speed at home to commute to work while I gather the cash for a repair.






  • 14 year old me thought of themselves as a weird freak

    I didnt struggle at school academically, and I wasnt diagnosed until I was 29, but I felt this too. I didnt know why I was different though.

    But I suppose the late diagnosis may have helped me equip myself better when I finally got it with all the new info there is on it. I still feel like (still am) a bit of a weirdo, but ive grown older and and appreciate myself more. Ive dipped my toes into trying to ‘be normal’ in my life and it hasnt really left me feeling happy.

    I did okay acedemically in school, but my 20s were extremely hard, and I experienced a lot frustration throughout - good grades doesnt equate to preparedness for adult life, not even a little. Head hitting and meltdowns became very frequent. I got fired a lot of times, it was a struggle to keep my flat.

    But I know a lot more about myself now and I mostly do I better job of life because of it.
