I feel as though I have been recently bereaved; Teary-eyed one minute and nostalgic the next. Emotionally confused for the past 4 days with a lot more thinking to be done.
Well, despite a queue of people ready to say, I told you so, the ball emblazoned with the word "WORK" has just fallen from a great height. The burden of copious paperwork, coupled with constant feedback, the daily challenge of low-level disruption, lack of resources and frequent sleep deprivation, has resulted in me becoming an emotional wreck. I am under doctor's orders to rest and recover. I have also been told that this may take some time to achieve, particularly as it has taken so long for me to seek help.

My attempt at working full-time on minimal sleep is proving extremely difficult and I resent that neither my family nor my class is really seeing the best of me at the moment. The paperwork backlog is getting worse, the impact of which is my ever increasing stress levels and lack of confidence. Throw autism into the mix and breaking point feels closer than ever before.
Sometimes, however, I read an article which manages to exactly express our experiences while also, providing a degree of hope for the future. Onwards and Upwards!! http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/jun/29/david-mitchell-my-sons-autism |
