What's Bothering You?

[Doo]

It’s so insignificant compared to what a lot of you are facing (I’m so sorry) but I really really hate being autistic. No offence to anyone else who is. I just really want to be able to do things normally, and even have a chance to do what other people can. I feel so alone and misunderstood all the time and people can’t even seem to comprehend that. Growing up, when you’re constantly noticing all the things wrong with you, feels so miserable. I think I should just be grateful for what I do have right now but it’s hard.

Found more blood on my white kitten's chest today. These wounds are new and much worse than before (initial was surface level) - I believe they are self-inflicted from the pattern they form and the fact he keeps scratching.

I've made him an appointment with the vet for 6:30PM tomorrow night. It'll be a tight turnaround as I also have a vaccine appointment at 4:40PM. Wish I could have gotten him seen tonight - it'll be a long 24hrs. Work will drag tomorrow.

I won't show the wounds of course, but here is a photo of him cuddled up with me from 20 mins ago after I got him cleaned up:

Okay wee update.

I got Sebastian to the vet tonight. His wounds aren't infected. She gave him a thorough clean, cut off the matted fur, trimmed his back claws, and prescribed an anti-inflammatory cream.

He's soooo upset by tonight...

Meanwhile I had a flu vaccine appointment right before he had to go to the vet. And I'm having a bad side effect. Really bad chest pain that gets worse when I stand or bend. Let's hope this passes quickly.

I’m honestly feeling triggered by mention of the election and politics. I have something I feel strongly about but I’ve been trying to keep it to myself as much as I can since I know others are trying to avoid politics as I’d like to do. It’s frustrating; so much reminds me of what is concerning me. I wish I could remember details from books and a class that I took, better and explain things objectively better, not just about these kinds of things but in general so I can maybe discuss them with someone. Then again, I’m afraid even if I found someone to discuss this with, it would sound like I’m preaching.

I do not like talking to someone who does not understand anything about me, no matter how much I try to explain it.

He's an adorable kitty. I hope both of you recover quickly!
