@Hydrangea: Yesss, thank you xD

I agree -nods sagely-

So I found a different show that's about a lawyer who has autism. I loved The Good Doctor, so I decided to give it a chance and it's nice.

@mimikyutoo: *googles The Good Doctor*

While the summary seems a little interesting, then again I can't really speak for how it portrays autism yet and sorry if I don't know what to say. ^^;

@Hydrangea: I don't know how accurate they are when it comes to Autism, I do enjoy the show xD Same with the one I'm watching now. The one I'm watching now doesn't seem super accurate but the plot is good. I know more about like bipolar disorders, Borderline Personality, and other illnesses. I should really research more into Autism now that I think about it.

I know Asperger's runs in my husband's family. (If I'm correct they don't like the term Asperger's but I can't remember right now what they prefer to call it.) And so I know some of the symptoms.

@mimikyutoo: Ooh I see! Hmmm... Maybe I should search and watch some documentaries about illnesses in general to and hope said documentaries aren't too biased, I'll get an understanding of them that is.

Other than that, I sometimes wish illnesses (whether it's physical, mental and etc.) were more understood worldwide and not being treated as "different" or something really mean like "freak" or "weirdo", especially when it comes to mental illnesses and health which there are people who chose to ignore or refuse to believe them.

@Hydrangea: That's a good way to learn. I have just learned from misdiagnoses, friends in the mental health community, and journals. (I like journals). Documentaries could help. I wonder if there are any documentaries that are unbiased on Autism?

I wish that too. I mean all of them are more common than people think. There's a lot of stigma in being "different". So I agree. There has been a big push lately to break the stigma and educate people more. So hopefully that continues.

@mimikyutoo: I see. *nods* Hmmm... if only there are documentaries that aren't biased on autism somewhere. I'll probably find one later on.

You're right, I too hope people will educate others and future generation about mental illnesses and health and continue breaking the stigma.

@Hydrangea: I honestly enjoy learning, I think I might look up some journals tomorrow if I get the chance :)

And I agree~!

Also I wanted to say, your avatar looks super cute!

@Hydrangea: XD That's very true

It still looks super cute ^w^

I went to bed at like 2:30 in the morning and woke up at 8 orz
I also have therapy at 2, which I'm not really prepared for.

@mimikyutoo: I see, although I don't have any good advice but perhaps try doing calm breathing exercise or listening to music and vice versa?

And speaking of bed, I was going to sleep around 10:30pm but the fireworks/firecrackers (wow noise pollution /s) kept waking me up until 1:10am-ish due to celebration. Now I woke up at 6:30am 'cause I have to prepare myself to go to work at 8:15 or 8:20am. If they did the whole fireworks at a park or any commerical area which is fine but doing it in a residential area is goddamn annoying and inconsiderate as people has to go to work in the morning.

I'm sorry if I went on a mini tangent since I still feel a bit tired/sleepy.

@Hydrangea: It went okay, I wasn't really prepared but it went well I suppose.

Oh no! That is never good ;A; I'm so sorry about that. It's very inconsiderate of them to pop fireworks off in residential areas. I know I struggle sleeping when they do that here. I hope despite not sleeping well that you have a decent day at work!

And it's fine. I don't mind at all.

@mimikyutoo: I see. Hope you're doing good.

Yeah and it's okay, no need to apologise though. I did used earplugs but I can still hear them due to how loud they are and yeah, sleep disorders are no joke and thank you (つ≧﹏≦)

@Hydrangea: I'm doing good, just a lot to think about.

I feel bad though, it's never fun/good to not be able to sleep. Wow, even with ear plugs? :O That's not cool at all.
Sleeping disorders are definitely not fun either. I have to take a medicine to help me sleep orz

@mimikyutoo: That's good to hear.

Ikr? I usually wait until the noise dies out and becomes silent enough for me to fall asleep since I don't take sleeping medicine/pills as I'm a bit worried about side effects unless it's approved legally by doctors. ^^;

Also I think I had an okay day at work despite feeling sleepy and tired. (;゙°´ω°´)

@Hydrangea: That's tough. I know I struggle sleeping without my hydroxyzine, commonly used for anxiety, before bed. They had me on trazadone but I don't like the way sleeping pills make me feel so they switched it and it's been working pretty good. I'm lucky my psychiatrist is willing to work with me to find something that works instead of being like "No take the sleeping pills or suffer" which is what one of my old doctors was like.

But yay~! I'm glad your day was okay ;u;

I was sent home early today because of weather and might have to take the next two days off as well.


@Totalanimefan: Wooo that's awesome~! I'm glad you got some stuff done :) I know I struggle personally getting stuff done around the house so to me I always applaud for people when they do xD Congrats~! Also glad your feeling a bit more refreshed ;u;
d'awww thank you <3

@mimikyutoo: I see, that's very understandable.

Yup, plus I had a decent sleep last night as I slept around 10:45pm. ૮ ˶´ ᵕˋ ˶ა and I see, if you don't mind me asking but what kind of weather is it? And how severe is it? :o

@Hydrangea: yup yup

Woo, that's good. And it's ok right now if I had known I would've stayed at work the whole day but the streets are slick (I would have just had to have driven slowly and carefully.) but over the next two days, it's supposed to get super icy and snow out of nowhere. Last week it was projected to be pretty warm, like in the 60s but over the weekend that changed. Hopefully, it isn't too bad or anything because I have to take my personal time which means I wont get to take my birthday off for a trip as we planned.

Also I apologize, I took a nap because I was achey and tired xD
