Burnout & Physiological symptoms

Ok, following my IAPT session i understood what's wrong with me.... I've burnt out again....because I haven't recovered from the last one(3 years ago). Well, that's ffffffffffed. My symptoms would be...unable to concentrate on my work , weird thoughts, my mind makes up vivid images about me graduating happily instead of letting me work...and tbh I'm starting hibernating, finding myself daydreaming while sitting at the computer rather than actively working on my goal,and my phone seems to tell me I've been walking 10 miles around the sofa daily...when i work on my arch projects I normally enter in a hyperfocus mode where nothing around me exists or makes sense in any way besides my work...this time my brain  refuses to comply with my wish to hyperfocus and get in my work mode trance.....which is not really ideal when I have a hand-in in 2 weeks....I'll ask help from the GP...i'm drained, need a break and need to defer my studies. At the last burnout, I started dissociating, felt absolutely ethereal and the world around me or myself didn't seem to feel real anymore...the world from my brain started taking over the real one. I need a mental and physical break, be4 i breakdown and start to feel again unreal in an unreal world. Mental health, kids, and my DH are in the 1st place, I need to give architecture the second place in my life for my own health. I've been recommended Exposure therapy and SSRI as my burnout shows characteristics of PTSD, I am really reluctant to SSRI especially I've seen yesterday somebody in major panic attacks after their Gp suggested they should come off them, and she did, all of a sudden, not gradually, she thought she's basically dying yesterday. Had anybody experienced any good results with such therapies? I need also to say I have not been officially diagnosed, I am on the 3 years list for it, so IAPT won't consider me aspie unless I'm diagnosed. Is there any fast way of being diagnosed, no matter how pricey? I need to get the right treatment for myself and avoid wrong treatments such as SSRI which I'm not convinced would help me.

It's a bad idea to come off SSRIs suddenly otherwise you get bad side effects. I started taking them 6 weeks ago. I was reluctant to start taking them but in the end I felt I had no choice. They've helped me because they have stopped the feelings snowballing. So now I can concentrate on getting better. I don't know if I've had aspie  burnout,  I'm self diagnosed, but it's sure felt like some sort of burnout. Which has come from not understanding my own feelings and body and just carrying on.

Our brains are not equipped to deal with modern life. We still have cavemen brains. One of the best pieces of advice I've had is to concentrate within your own four walls. Self, house, family.  Everything else comes after this. So I think you have the right mind set.

I was reluctant to take SSRIs but as society has evolved faster than humans can keep up with,  I think some of us need a helping hand in order to function in this day and age.
