Hi, does anyone else experience exhaustion all the time?
I've been like this for the last few years. I don't sleep well, but it feels more like it's where things in my life get on top of me and makes me even more exhausted. If something stressful happens I'm so tired after I need to have a nap. And lately driving home from work has been an increasing concern because of how tired I feel, I don't want to fall asleep at the wheel and crash.
Do you have any tips for this? I feel like this is an asd thing more than anything. I've tried being more relaxed but I'm anxious most of the time so it's a struggle. I'm open to any suggestions you might have to help
T your in burnout and your fighting it which is going to make the recovery so much longer.
Their has been a study that suggest individuals on the spectrum may struggle to absorb nutrients due to stress, diet and bowel problems like IBS. Have you thought about taking some supplement like B12 and Riboflavin and vitamin D to combat the fatigue. It’s worth a try.
I second this. A multi can't hurt (I take one daily) and for D, I use a mushroom complex a few times a week which also helps with focus.
However, my experience was this: I'd had unknown allergies half my life. by 18 I couldn't get enough sleep! I was put on a diet that was nearly gluten free. But still had issues till 27 when I went off gluten entirely and I had more energy. But sugars don't help, so I mind that. Anything which creates added inflammation will wear me down.
