Toot

Just popped to my local library. Whilst playing the waiting game after:

1. Reaching out to my GP about my poor mental health,

2. Being passed to local wellbeing service, asking for something other than cbt, which for me, #actuallyautistic is not so helpful

3. Trying my work health scheme and finding I am recommended prifessional psychiatry, which I am not covered for

I did research looking for peer support. Went today on an early lunch to the only think listed, run in partnership with an organisation and in my local library, only to find it is actually a space for people, often with learning disabilities, to connect. It's great, but not what I need, which means thetes nothing where I live.

Sometimes its so hard when you reach out, and as someone autistic, thats a big thing, only to discover there is no one there to reach out too. I love the fedi, but sometimes need real people.

I am too tired to start my own group, and even then, I would just do what I always do and help others, not myself.

Sorry for the vent.

Just needed to scream into the void, not in public as I am hiding with a coffee in an empty coffee shop.

Signing off to finish warm caffeine and then back to the joviality of work.
