I’m trying today. I think I’m coping decently although I am very stressed. I mostly have distanced myself from the news. I will briefly watch the first first few minutes of The Today Show but that is it. I’ve felt very autistic lately. I think it’s just stress related that have made me need my coping skills even more. I’ve had my headphones on for most of the day to block out stressful stuff. No one gives a crap what coping skills you use anyways when your autistic even if they are pretty juvenile. Just as long as they aren’t harmful to you or anyone else. But honestly I have some weird coping skills that my therapists do know about and they could care less. My Pdoc told me he liked my SpongeBob poster. I was thinking of sitting on the other side of my bed with my books on sociology and economics so I wouldn’t look like a complete weenie to him.

But I do have to learn how to function again as an adult. Which is probably for the best.
