I’ve spent so long trying to work out why I’m like this. I think I can’t cope when I have to do something new, not even scary stuff, just different. Today my family went on a walk somewhere we hadn’t been before, I didn’t want to go. I kind of implied I didn’t want to go because of period pains, but I got dragged along anyway. I can’t bear my dads driving and tolerating their crap music and my nightmare sister, overall car journeys are just complete sensory overloads for me. I think my coping strategy is to just go quiet. I then spend the walk just as quiet ball of adrenaline. But I just find myself just snapping every now and then. I get labelled a grump and blamed for ruining the trip. I wish I could just snap out of it but I can’t even pinpoint why I do it. Does this sound familiar?
