Moods

Last Sunday's letdown was a terrible shock, and it affected me very badly. Monday was a complete write-off; I had the most terrible headache all day and the daylight made me feel nauseous. Yesterday was better in that the headache had lessened in intensity, but my mood was still not right and very uncomfortable. Today I feel even better.
Usually those terrible shocks would affect me for days or weeks, and I've been doing a bit of thinking. In the past I had no idea of the autism stuff, so would just carry the thoughts and feelings, and thinking it was just my 'weirdness'. I certainly couldn't tell anyone how I felt. Now that I know how my brain works I find it much easier to accept, and am more comfortable about letting people know what's going on. Sunday's incident was terrifying at the time, but I'm so relieved that I've been able to deal with it this quickly.
