Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 323 , Sunday 15/09/2024

Slept soundly last night, up at 8am after a nice lie in.

Breakfast over an episode of ‘Call the Midwife’ was followed by an NMS session with a certain Pixy.

Lunch was egg sarnies then we had ‘Sherwood’ season 2 binge fest.

Pulled pork, chips n salad for tea - tasty.

Final Thoughts.

Talking to a friend today I realised that big problem I have with getting help is that I resist help, at more than a superficial level. I have had to look out for myself, hide my depression, hide my feelings since I was 10. I am stubborn & tend to put on a brave face - stiff upper lip & all that.
Oh I whinge about the trivial stuff, as many of those who follow this diary & my MAJ1 a/c know, I will succumb to man flu or the sore tootsies faster than you can say wimp. But the stuff that keeps me awake at night - sometimes literally - not so much.

This level of resistance is as part of me as my sense of humour, my love of nature or my need to help others if I can. It is not easily changed.
This is not a cry for help, it is simply an exploration of another facet of who I am, what makes this Squirrel tick. It is also not a protest against help, just a heads up that sometimes I am very much like Shrek … no not that I am an Ogre 🙄🤦‍♂️ , that I am like an onion & have layers!! 😊

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖
