Hi, I am struggling with inertia big time. I have stopped from work for two weeks and am just overwhelmed. I have lots I need to get done but even the basic things are now hard where as before I could kind of do them. I only realised I was autistic a few weeks ago so that is adding to it.
Is this an autism thing or just a me being strange thing?
Ah hun. You are in autistic burn out. GO GOOGLE to understand. Been there. Just climbing out, actually. Rest. Old fashioned R&R will fix it. But you need time.
Quick question, how the hell do you get out of it?
Rest. The only answer is rest. Do your own thing a while. Accept what your body and mind will and will not do. The full you will bounce back. But you need rest. Not drugs or therapy, just time, sleep and your own thing.
It was someone on this forum who helped me understand burn out. It is NOT depression. They were so right. REST!
