There can be times when things can seem overwhelming in life. As I have been told, being autistic and facing mental health challenges is difficult. But I continue to push through what I need to do day in and day out. Granted it can be hard sometimes. Life can at times seem unfair. I have to face certain challenges. But I do it time and time again. I have the right things in place to keep me going.

It has taken me a long time to come to the conclusion. I need to have a little bit of everything that is a part of my life. This ensures that I stay stable and do the things that keep me going. I have meddled with my medications for many years. That has cost me many things over the years. Still, I have rebounded from those instances really well. I now truly understand the value of all of them. I recognize what role they play in my daily life and how much they are needed. This is especially true now, with the ever-changing dynamics in my life.

Second to that I know the value of going to day services and working have in my life. There have been times when I have pondered the value of each. I wanted to avoid them for whatever reason. I couldn’t see the value of how they work hand in hand. They not only get me out of the house. They also keep me from being isolated. These activities keep me going so that I do not get trapped in my own thoughts and feelings. Otherwise, my thoughts and feelings will spiral out of control. Yes, they have changed drastically in the past few years. As a person who struggles with change, I had a hard time dealing with the changes. Anxiety wanted to drive me away from both of them several times. Yet, I kept going through with no matter how hard it has been for me to do so. As any person has feelings about things I do have feelings about them at times, but I keep going.

Then there are the other things in the home that just work for what they do. The social media pages, Dustin’s Dynasty, and Weight Loss Support Group are a few examples. Many other small things just make life what it is. They keep me going in my down time. Of course I have other down time to just relax. Still, having too much of it is never a good recipe for me. I know how important it is to have the things in a perfect mix to keep things going smoothly. This ensures that life can continue uninterrupted. The need to be flexible can still arise at any time. Having things like the right mix of medicine to regulate the brain can help make that possible. It allows me to deal with things appropriately.

The right mix works for many reasons. Living the best life can work in its own way. This allows things to be what they want to be. They can go well for me most of the time. We deal with things for what they are and when they happen. That too has been fair in most parts. It just works well the way it does.
