I know some uncontrollable little things shouldn't get to me, but I get extremely internally irate when I am in an enclosed space with a LOUD cougher for an extended period of time. Was just in a ride earlier with my father and needed to put my headphones on and turn on my music loud to try and drown him out. Every few seconds another cough, over and over! Drove me mad!

Trying to heed Nova's advice today. Had a change to my routine this morning after a couple of really hard weeks, and I feel like shit.

Exhausted, weepy, close to meltdown.

Feeling frustrated I can't just do what I want/need to, and so much shame that I can't just be a normal fucking person.

I hate this. I hate how autism impacts my life sometimes.

But I'm going to really try and remember this isn't my fault, that I don't choose this, and that looking after myself is not the same as being self indulgent.

I'm going to try and rest and be kind to myself πŸ’œ
