Report Cards…
At the end of primary school in the 1900s they gave us IQ tests to place us in highschool classes. Based solely on those results I was placed in the top tier, which probably explains why they take a more holistic approach these days. I of course struggled in these high level classes with concentration,…

So that’s what that feels like…
Today I did a full online grocery shop, for pretty much the first time since the pandemic, when it wasn’t optional. I was able to focus on a task that I found excruciatingly difficult in the past and I actually said “so that’s what that feels like” out loud. The doctor said the medication would…

Well there’s your problem…
So after letters and forms, and a very long chat with a very nice man with a very expensive couch and an eye watering hourly rate I finally have an answer to that often asked question “What the hell is wrong with you?!”. It was mostly me asking the question but I am sure others…

Time takes a cigarette…
I was really making some progress three years ago. I was just out of short and poorly thought out relationship, I was on a serious organization kick, and I was on a self managed therapy program. Two years ago I was still grieving the loss of my father, desperately trying to come to terms with…

I Still Care…
When I tick the carer box on just about every form I fill out these days I still feel like it’s not a real thing. 20+ years of primary care for two ASD children, plus an ex who is definitely on the spectrum but I still feel like I would be judged to be more…

Laws of Subtraction…
Not being able to see the forest for the trees is not always a metaphor. I could literally not see the forest that surrounds the cabin because there were trees (and junk) in the way. There was a definite claustrophobia to the property that kept it dark and damp and even foreboding at times. Unhealthy…
