Mine is just traveling to work or to places around my suburb, going to my psych, to my partners and going into the city. But most of it is work and home.
It's tough. It really is. I understand where they were coming from, because they didn't want me to be at my house where everything will remind me of her. But I'm going to have to experience being at home w/o her anyway, and I'm still going out for dnd. But like I understand. It just hurts that I wasn't... iunno, validated in wanting to stay home. You know?
Life sucks, relationships are tough, but are worth it in the end. Thank you!
So happy for you! It's honestly a great feeling being able to work. I mean it sucks because you don't get much time for yourself. But at the same time, having money is great.
Man, I'm really upset about my partner. We finally have organised DND with our group (of course we organised it a few weeks ago it's just terrible timing right now), and my partner is the DM so they have to bring a big bag with them because of it. And so last night I asked them if they could come here on Friday after work, but they wanted me to come over there. I'm not particularly in the mood to do the emotional labour of going over their house (they don't live super far from me like I used to, but they also don't live like next door), but they want me to come over and assumed I would because they don't want to lug around their bag.
And it's just, like, upsetting and annoying. Whenever something happens to them that upsets them, I'm always making sure they're okay and I'll organise to come over. And I'm not trying to wave around my problem at the moment as a guilt tripping thing (or at least, trying not to. It's hard not to seem like an arsehole). I don't know... maybe I'm in the wrong, but I don't feel like I am. Obviously y'all are only getting one side to this. But I just would've thought that they would come over and make sure I'm okay regardless, instead of having me go to their place.
Edit: They messaged me apologising and I've apologised too. So it's all good in the end. But just, yeah.
He mentioned that he appreciated me coming into work but yeah he offered to either work from home or take today off. So I went with taking today off. I think tomorrow I'll work from home.
Good luck! I understand how nervewracking it is. Not autism but for ADHD. I think having my school reports with me as well as mentioning my family stuff (my cousin has autism and family members most likely have ADHD even though they deny it) really helped.
Certainly not fun times indeed. Thank you very much for all your love. I really appreciate it. Playing Starfield is taking my mind off of things, but funnily enough I got food in the game called Chocolate Labs, and man... (For context my dog is/was a chocolate lab).
I usually do the pomodoro method, which is doing a task in 25 minutes with a 5 minute break. Or I go "okay I'll do the task for 5 minutes, if after that 5 minutes I can't do it anymore then okay, I'll try again next time" most of the time, I fly past the 5 minutes and end up doing it. But I totally understand the paralysis feeling.
Nahh I feel the same. I wish that I could just take a day trip to another country like Europe, or like being able to go through a few states like US. But no, takes like 2 hours just to get to the CBD.
I do remember in 2009 when KRudd gave people money and mum gave my sister and I $50, and obviously back then that was a lot. I bought a DVD from Sanity hahaha. And I remember Swine Flu being in the news, but it didn't feel as real as Covid did.
Edit: Just want to say I love you folks a lot. Sorry for making things a bit of a downer! But I appreciate everyone of you, thank you for all the love.
Yep. Similar, not exactly the same but dad went to a technical school and entered into a trade of sorts, and mum dropped out due to moving a lot and education being different (like she'd learn things she already knew but then didn't learn stuff that the other kids knew). And education was really important to them, especially because I struggled a lot. I got diagnosed with auditory processing disorder at like 10 but lived with undiagnosed ADHD until like two years ago or so.
But I went to public school for all of my years. Ended up having to go to Tafe for a few years until I was a mature student (didn't get the atar I needed) and got into uni with the degree I wanted. And now I'm the first person in my family to have a uni degree. And while it's great that I could still go and not worry about paying everything up front, it's still going to worry me for when or if I have to eventually pay off that debt.
Especially since I want to get a master's in my field of learning (and eventual PhD but that's because hardly anywhere recognises Mx as a title). But yeah it's tough.
Oh I actually know this! There's a thing called a Tool Library. There's one in Brunswick, I don't know about other locations. But it's basically a "library" so to speak where you can borrow tools for diy, gardening, that sort of thing. I don't know if that is too far for you, but I know that exists.
I honestly don't remember much (the ADHD mixed with PTSD really fucks with the memory). But I was 13 and that was the year my parents separated. So I can't remember the economic issues at the time, I just remember having to live in a unit instead of a house when they separated. Dad was still in the old house until maybe mid-way through 2009?
But yeah 2008 was weird. Starting year 7, so moving to a new school, and then at the end of the year having to move schools again because of the separation.
