As I am sitting here struggling to find words to describe my own story with mental illness or to bring awareness more. As I would love to do more this week and I have talked about in recent posts I figured The Mental Health Tag I did a few weeks ago when I first opened my blog would be a great idea to share again.
I would like to give another huge shout out and thank yous to all my followers and supporters, old and new. This means the world to me and inspires me to keep writing etc. Like I mentioned many times before it really confirms I did the right thing for myself by opening this new blog. Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the support and look forward to conversing with all of you and reading your new posts as well. Woot!
Another loved band and song that has helped me through dark times.
I am a 33 year old female living life on the autism spectrum and still trying to find my place in the world. I have other associated disorders or mental illnesses such as OCD, anxiety (generalized and social) and a history of depression to name a few.
I love writing and have been writing different styles for as long as I can remember. Like most people who have a strong passion for writing I started writing stories and wrote in a journal in grade school. I remember specifically purchasing my first diary/journal that had a lock with my cousin when I was around 10 year-of-age. I was very excited to start writing in it as it was the first fanciest and most formal writing tool I owned. I think that was when my writing journey really began as I started to write daily.
Some of my main goals for this blog is to write about autism, it's associated disorders and my life in hopes to help others. To spread awareness and educate in hopes to end some of the stigmas society has attached to things mental illness and autism. To meet like minded bloggers or be inspired by other writers. Other than that I will post or share anything that is of interest or pops into my head.
As I grow older, the more I understand about myself and experience life I find myself wanting to seek a further diagnoses or a reevaluation. That is part of the reason why I am opening a new blog here and the reason for my new found blog name. So I hope you all will join me on my continued journey and new discoveries.
My diagnoses are not all who I am so here are some random facts about myself.
Some of my hobbies besides writing include music, The Sims 3, Xbox, Netflix, scrapbooking and the outdoors.
I have a very strong passion for music. It is like my drug/medicine/obsession and you may catch me from time to time preaching it like a religion. Apologies in advance
I am married to a man who is not on the spectrum, but he is as equally as amazing and I am insanely in love with him. Like my rants about my life and music you will also hear a lot about him.
I was born and raised in Canada who recently seeked Permanent Residence in the USA, so I am no longer an illegal alien. Although I am still an 'alien' tbh.
I say imo and tbh too much. (imo = in my opinion/tbh = to be honest) They are also probably the only two abbreviations you will catch me using as one of my many pet peeves are people who 'typ like dis'
The only thing that probably makes me a stereotypical Canadian is my obsession with hockey.
I am a very organized person. However, it is normally with things that don't really matter in life such as my files on my computer that are organized in folders, within folders...
I often can be perceived as rude at first until you get to know me.
I have a huge imagination.
Some of my favorite animals are dogs, cats, monkeys, penguins and elephants.
I prefer animals to humans tbh.
Basically I am another complexed human being like everyone else trying to find her way through life and I welcome you all to my newly found blog.
This description is subject to change at anytime as my blog grows, I add more facts about myself or for whatever reason I feel fit. ~ My Authentic Mind
