This week I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress from changing jobs. While I know I am very fortunate to have gotten a better job, I have found myself struggling to manage my anxiety about my future. Change can be very difficult for people with autism to deal with, and I am feeling that struggle right now. I deal with chronic pain due to stress, so my entire right side of my body has been flaring up, leaving me unable to sleep and giving me a constant headache. Even with this stress, I have a lot to be grateful for.
I am thankful that I allowed myself a week without working before starting my new job. I hope to manage my mental health and get excited about my new position over the next week.
I am grateful that my dog, Marci, has been doing really well with her training. She knows sit, down, up, wait, off, and quiet.
I am grateful that I have been able to pay all of my bills on time.
I am thankful that I have people in my life who love me and check in on me.
What are you grateful for this week? :)

Changing jobs is tough. I hate the first week. “Here is your office. The employee handbook….” But… in 2 weeks it will all feel normal. Good material for your next poem
Grateful to be home, to have a home. Have a good week, Breanna.
