I overcame a multitude of struggle areas today, all without getting majorly lost, panicking, or breaking down!

I *SEVERELY* struggle with public transport, I get incredibly disoriented, I get really overwhelmed with all the platforms, stations, different trains/busses, the announcements, all the people, the noise, everything. Every time I have had to take a train in the past, especially by myself, things don't go very well and I typically breakdown at least once But I had to go to a physio appointment today that was 3 hours and 14 minutes away by walking (at least according to Google, I did in in 2 hours and 20 minutes). And while I walked there, I knew I couldn't manage walking back, so I bit the bullet and took the trains. Originally it wanted me to take both trains and buses, but I found a route that was only trains, taking a train and bus was too much for me I had to go on 3 different trains, and though I got lost at the first change over, but I didn't panic, I stayed calm, and I went up to someone and asked for help! And yeah! I did it! I stayed calm the whole time, and made it back home without incident! For me today has been very successful! I walked all the way to the hospital without getting lost, and I managed the walk. I did my physio appointment and managed to do that. I then took the trains back home. I managed to talk to a stranger to ask for help. And I did it all without panicking or getting over stimulated and breaking down! I am very tired now, I did nearly 22k steps today, but I am proud of my accomplishments today! I managed multiple tough areas for me! I saw baby coots and a wild pheasant on my walk :3

With the past week I've been... Feeling better and hopeful for the future (M2

Today I was able to go to the doctor's for a toe injury caused by yesterday, but I got my first ride on an escooter yesterday. I got some close friends and I've reconnected and learning where I went wrong with a friend. Hopeful that the rest of the week, including church will go well. Hopeful I can make more close friends soon

I got my bird back!!! She was missing for over 2 months but she’s back home now! 🩷🩷🩷

My beautiful baby was missing for 2 months and 1 day exactly and a few hours ago I got a call from someone saying that she had shown up on their doorstep and that they’d kept her for 2 months but then they found out about a missing bird exactly like her so they called us! I had never cried such wonderful tears of joy before. She got so many kisses and cuddles tonight!!! I am whole once again 🩷.
