I have not had the best of weeks however People Development at Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust have made my week

I often forget the good I’ve done and this has been another reminder

I’m proud of myself I managed my #Situationalmutism well today it was my first day at work since the episode began thanks to Dawn Buck Suzanne v Hoek Donna greenwood Vicky McDonald Woods I didn’t end up feeling a failure or a loser

Thank you Hampshire Hospitals for taking such good care of me today - even though i have #situationalmutism - you treated me with such #kindness , #compassion and most of all #patience
Thank you so much

I had forgotten how small the world is when you have no voice

You can’t ask for help
You can’t get your needs met
You’re judged as being rude
People treat you harshly
The walls seen to close in

#autismacceptance #AutismAwareness #mute

I’m tired, really tired…
What’s wrong? You ask

My brain:
I’m ugly
I’m fat
I’m a failure
I’m disgusting
I’m depressed
I’m suffering due to my autism
I hate I’m being gaslighted
I can’t do anything right
I’m just not okay

My answer: Nothing, I’m fine it just been a long day

I’m haven’t had a full autistic shutdown in a couple of years and as hard as it is I need no I want to educate people

It’s like my voice has been snatched away - I don’t have a choice over it, all I can do is take time to look after myself

When our energy levels drop and it can all get a bit much. You can’t pour from an empty cup. The trick is to find the small things that hold meaning for you and, in doing these regularly, you fill your cup meaning you’ll have more energy.
How will you fill your cup?

It takes a lot of me to hit breaking point
But I have today
I’m gonna copy Boyse and hide from the world
I’m only one person with two hands

What a way to end the week
I received another “you shine award” from Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust very own Media & Communications Team @ SHFT
Although to be fair it’s them that deserve this they are outstanding in what they do
Feeling very #humbled
#proud #wow #shocked

Could today get any better for me
Sarb thank you so much for this

Making sure that no voices are silent and that every voice is heard is my passion

Does anyone else have a hard time telling their face to use its inside voice???

Cause apparently if my mouth don’t say it my bloody face does

😂😂😂😂😂
