I take #Aripiprazole for longstanding depression and anxiety disorders, #Topiramate for long standing Anxiety Disorders and cPTSD, and #Vortioxetine for long standing depression alongside - other mental health conditions. There’s no shame in needing medication for your mental health.

I’ve just been for a beach walk then for coffee with a friend for a long overdue catch up. The sun is shining and it’s not freezing cold. It was much needed and beautiful!!

I made candles today. 2x mulled wine, 2 x apple and cinnamon, and 2x happy holidays. I’m giving them to my mum and sister’s.

Our dog is being euthanised tomorrow and I can’t stop tearing up over it. He has extensive bilateral elbow dysplasia. There’s no worthwhile treatment, he is in pain (which will only continue to get worse and worse) and he has no quality of life.

Today has been a day of medical appointments, time with my sister and nephew, and a session with my support worker. I still have a zoom call to go, then it’s time to crash!

I missed my 2-year 'Autism Diagnosis' anniversary last month, so I'm acknowledging it now - happy 2-year and 1-month autism diagnosis anniversary to me. The day when I stopped telling myself I was fundamentally broken and realised I just need to do some things differently #Autism
