Problems with being productive at home

DifferentMark
I'm not sure if this is autism related(am technically undiagnosed atm), but it's always been there. From as far as I can remember. It's like anything that requires effort is incredibly hard. It's like I have to force myself. Pushing through an invisible barrier. When I come back from work im exhausted mentally. This is why I have mostly only worked part time.
Even the journey, using public transport is hard for me. All of it. I feel overly sensitive to everything. Which is why I stay in my room a lot. Even spending time downstairs stresses me out, let alone leaving my house.
I usually shut down when I feel stressed. Stop talking to my parents. Need space. 
Just wanted to see if anyone else experiences something similar? (I am diagnosed with attention deficit disorder)
Thanks, 
Mark

  • It sounds like it could be sensory overload from autism.

    I used to work in offices and had to commute to work, it was absolutely exhausting and I would often come home from work and go straight to bed, and spend whole weekends in bed.

    What do you do if you don't mind me asking? Is there a chance you could ask your boss for workplace adjustments so they let you work from home, or change jobs for one that lets you work from home?
