My year

It's certainly been interesting. Emotionally it's been quite horrible, but so have all my other years. There have been more peaks and troughs than usual. My years are usually mostly troughs.
The good thing about the year is that it's provided answers to some of the problems that have blighted my life. I have learned that my 'strangeness' is in fact autism, and that my depression, fits and tingling arm are caused by a cyst on the brain, rather than being psychosomatic.
The other thing I have learned (rather re-learned) is to be wary of people. I started believing it when someone told me that this person or that person is nice, and have got stung a few times as a result. In future I'm going to do what I always did before I moved here; I will avoid all unnecessary social contact (except with my close people), and trust my own gut instincts. If I do go out to socialise, it will have to be somewhere that I find comfortable. Am I being selfish? This is what I ask myself.
