The trees begin to show their colours, the woods seem to be places to discover many hidden treasures. I love this time of year. We make many long walks. It seems a time of changes is coming up. Bf has been told his job almost certainly might be discontinued. Insecurity rules. We try to keep positive and each step in life might bring new opportunities despite the crisis. The hardest thing these days is to cope with insecurity. This all costs lots of energy. I try to support Bf as much as possible. He shows he is grateful for this! Meanwhile my agryophobia treatment (agyrophobia is the fear of crossing the streets)continues and further progress has been made. Slowly I lean to deal with the different ways one can look around being on the pavement. I ...

Yesterday I said farewell to my support worker. After having shared many things, we are forced to end our business contact. It's all a matter of money. It's strange. We shared thoughts about the past two years and dreams about both our future together as we had a farewell drink yesterday. Life goes on. I have already met my new support worker. So far she seems to be a good choice. Changes however, do effect me deeply. Yes, I am an Aspie :-). I try to find rest in doing lots of other things like the bookcrossing things. I really like it and it's an adventure to prepare books for future travel around the world. I recommend http://www.bookcrossing/ to you all!

Had taken plenty of beverages with me, but while I was in the studio, I just could not eat properly because of the stress. That seems to happen quite often. That is not just an autism thing. On the way back home I had lunch. Now I have to choose between having some kind of late dinner or going to bed early. Think the food is gonna win.
