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,

  • Yes, I can identify with a lot off that...the transport, the exhaustion of an ordinary day...

    I tend to find that as long as I have a strict routine, I can get through the domestic and find time alone with my hobbies to recharge.  Take my routine away from me by cluttering the house at the wrong times or re-organise my schedule and I end up just turning in circles with everything seeming too big to tackle and unable to achieve even basics. I end up sitting in a state of inertia feeling more exhausted than ever.

    I spent most of my childhood in my room alone.
