Today is going to suck .:blobStare:​

I've been having massive issue with being sensory overload. With my roomie watching her 6 year old grandaughter almost everyday, me still reovering from the flu, people constantly coming over being loud, and not being able to sleep because I can't stop coughing a very dry cough to the point my throat feels raw, an ear infection in both ears, and severe nasal congestion.

The girl is so damn rude, whiney, entitled, and bossy. Not to mention way louder then my two girlies combined. So today is going to be hell (I also didn't sleep one wink last night. The first day of my flu, roomie went in her roomie for an hour and left me to watch her. Without asking. I was literally unable to leave the bathroom due to my stomach. So I haven't been able to really recover my illness. And since I have long covid, my energy levels are completely destroyed.
I just want to be able to rest and recover.
Anyway, just had to vent . Sometimes it feels like everyone around me forgets, ignores, or doubts my autism. Which in turn leads to me chewing my hands up (my bad stim), melting down, and hiding.
Keep me in your thoughts and wish me luck. I'm getting pushed to my limit here.

Found this awesome stim toy at my local Family Dollar the other day. I've been seeing these guys all over instagram, but since I can't get a 3D printer I jumped to get this guy. It is by far my FAVORITE stim device to date. Not super portable but I don't care.

What do you get when you have a house occupied by an autistic person with ADHD, social phobia, depression, and Autism (me); a bipolar person with ADHD (my wife), and a person with ADHD, possible autism, and life skills issues (my roomie)?
Me doing everything in my power to not fall to my executive dysfunction and occasional morous days. Seeing those around me struggle to do day-to-day things has made me very angsty about myself. So in order to feel accomplished and on top of things I've taken baby steps to help my own problems (usually by turning into a slob when overwhelmed).
Firstly, every day I make my bed. Then I look my room over and see what needs put away or thrown away. Vacuuming happens every 2 days (cats and litter ick). The desk gets cleaned off daily. The new thing is laundry will be washed and folded (mine and the kids, my wife does hers) weekly.
I will conquer my executive dysfunction!! Some days my schedule doesn't happen and that's okay. But seeing an organized space makes me feel better as an unemployed workaholic that has sensory issues!

New Years is kind of hell for me. It seems the whole town is setting off illegal fireworks. And I was clueless enough to go to the store an hour ago, and someone set some off 10 feet from me. Pure sensory hell. So I rushed home, and am now sitting in my chair with noise canceling headphones on, and my chewlery alien pendant (I have a chewing issue when over stimulated). I absolutely hate this. Going to play Undertale or Kynseed with my headphones on.
