Aaargh the idea of letting things fall apart is so scary but you are right, sometimes it is exactly what is needed. And I feel you on the autism assessment validity, too!
You know, Becky, you are dangerously close to getting a comic strip here. Thanks for joining in with my challenge!
Is there any step you can take to release control of the situation you refer to with your YES? 🙏
I think journalling on it would likely help but I am not good with releasing control. (Or change!) so I just don't know how much it would actually help. I guess there is no harm in trying!
Yes, worth a try. I don't know if it would be relevant, or if you've tried it already, but if people are involved then no send letters have helped me in the past when I've been blocked about expressing myself/knowing how I feel about something…
YES: I went to the fancy farm shop because it was the only one open Sunday night on the motorway to *definitely not buy booze* and I came out with actually no booze, but reduced organic meat, and fancy, very expensive kefir which is good for my sweet sweet gut microbiome.
NO: In response to continued fuckery from the client I'm freelancing for, I quit the project I had been long-suffering to complete out of obligation. So I get to sing the 'I resigned' song AGAIN!
Saying YES to the fact that sometimes change is not only necessary but actually needed. Things might look like they are falling apart but maybe that's how they come back together.
Saying NO to get wrapped up other people ideas about how many assessment sessions you need to have for your autism diagnosis to be valid.

You effing legend! God I love quitting jobs. I've not it for TOO LONG.
So happy for you and what sweet victory for your biome too! Gotta protect that guy!
