Over the past few weeks, I have been fighting at times crushing anxiety about wanting to do things in life that is expected of me, but I somehow fight my way through it and move forward with life even if it a struggle, I somehow find the will and want to be motivated, encouraged and have purpose in life.

For me, sometimes it can be hard to find motivation. This is often curtailed by the onset of autistic burnout and at times it can set me back some if I do not keep an eye on my wellbeing. I know that there has to be a purpose in living and to do that I need to have the motivation to keep going in life.

In this vlog, I explain how getting back on my medication regimen has helped me get some sense of normalcy and step outside of my comfort zone.

Sometimes in life, there are circumstances that are beyond our own personal control. As much as we would like to take charge of something and make it ours or have a say, sometimes we cannot be provided such an opportunity and have to roll with the punches as they fly.

In my journey of self-discovery lately, I am beginning to learn that consistency is key in wanting to do anything towards making a change for the better. It can be for anything, but in reality it is the sense of knowing that things will never get better for me unless I am consistent with the things that I need to do to make my life better.

In the course of life, the unexpected happens. Oftentimes we as autistic people go to those we seek for the answers to solve our problems at a moment’s notice. However, when we are told the answer that we do not like to hear because it does not meet our needs, then we have to wise up.

Today is my 38th Birthday. While it is just a number, in some ways it shows its better parts of the fact that I do need to mature more and just do what I need to do in life instead of letting my challenges continue to set me back out of slight fears and flawed thoughts.

Prior to the writing of this post, I was cleaning my emails and was watching a video on the ongoing Direct Support Worker Staffing Crisis in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It featured a majority of autistic individuals unable to receive the support staffing to have their own independence. It made me see the reality, gratitude and necessity of keeping my independence.

As an old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot force him to drink. That has been the case in both my mental and physical health journeys the past few years. While I sometimes throw smoke and mirrors as if I am doing the right thing, behind the surface for a long time I was hurting and I think I finally found out that doing that will eventually catch up to me in the end.
