Getting help…

...is hard work... ...but hopefully all worth it... As I've recently shared with you all here, I'm trying to get some help. For a long time, I've tried to make it on my own. And, after many hard struggles, I have had to concede... I had to admit to myself, and then to others, that I wasn't, and am not, able to get it all done on my own. 😔 A good online friend told me that we're not used to make it on our own, that we always need some form of support. But, getting that support as a NeuroSpicy 🌶️ person, it's even more challenging (and maybe also more important). […]

> Struggling with CPTSD, while being ND, that’s a whole different thing! So, it needs even more specialized support. Which means it’s a lot harder to obtain.

I feel that so hard. *hugs*

It’s very hard to find the proper help, and I am sure that, if we are able to find some, that it will have a loooong waiting list… I guess the hardest thing now is, that I need help because the symptoms are costing me so many spoons. But, in order to get the help I may need, I need more spoons than Ikea has in its warehouse… 😞 I don’t want to give up hope that I will be able to get help, I am just worried that it will take too long, and I will end up even worse…
I do hope that, when Koa comes, that I can get new energy from his love, happiness, and all the things that puppies do so wonderfully. 🐾🤎

I hear you, and I'm going through much the same things, trying to navigate the government and medical systems to get various kinds of help because I can't make it on my own, at least not now with autistic burnout. Just the other day I found out that the doctor I had met with weeks before didn't accept me as a 'family doctor' patient, but I guess had neglected to tell me either. So on top of the wasted effort, sprinkle a little rejection sensitivity on there because why not.

Anyway yeah, much the same stuff. And it is my hope that at some point I can help others by making communities and help networks so other people do'n't have to go through the same thing because there is no need for it. Our society is just really badly optimized and people like us get the brunt of it (along with other groups of course).

Cute pic btw. I can relate to a lot of that too. And that's some autistic level attention to detail! 👍
