Different days

I'm normally sharp as a knife, when driving, but when I ran an errand for my Artist Friend in town this morning my brain fried due to the confusion of the location he bought frames at. It was a Charity Shop I wasn't familiar with. But I had to deal with delivery vans blocking the left lane, and my friend's bouts of rage. But we're fine, now.

He called, when I got home, to say that his mobile was missing. However, I found it in my car. All I had to do was call his cell number with my mobile. Thank God we both have landlines.

I defo need to settle. For lunch, I had a sardine sandwich. Couldn't function well enough to cook. 

Thanks you for managing to put something into words that I can relate to 100% but would have struggled to say anywhere near as articulately and accurately.

Yes

Some days I am shocked at my shocked reactions.  I find my feelings unbearable.  Next day I underestimate how difficult those feelings were.  It is as if whatever the experience happens to feel like my mind treats it as ‘the experience of being alive always was, always is and always shall be felt like this’. 

Most of that time I spent in bed, staring on a ceiling, devoid of energy to leave bed even. I would eat granola once or twice a day until I run out, but going out to do shopping wasn't an option, I needed to take piss but getting up sometimes was to much, I would wait until last moment, and so it went 8 weeks, I was eating dry pasta at the end, just to avoid starving to death, not that I needed much food, or had apetite

Im the same

I can relate to that worst case of burnout.

Thats very well said about the functioning, very well put

I used caffeine to keep going. 

On your final nine words there, and only because you've brought it up, have you ever had to sleep almost immediately afterwards? A BM I mean. I think it could be a vagal nerve thing, but sometimes (when already on a low battery I suppose), I end up crashing on the bed afterwards and waking up 30 mins later. It's like even as I'm washing my hands, I can feel the fatigue kicking in massively. Bit weird maybe, and possibly unique!

I think it depends how tired I am, I struggle to talk when I’m really tired and just want to sit on the sofa all day and other times I’m much more dynamic and get quite a lot of stuff done indoors and out

Giving up the Red Bull has helped. I now feel better, in the morning. And I can task-manage better.

Whenever I have a bad day; I go mental.

I said it many times, there is no high or low functioning autism

we/re on a good day high functioning

on a bad day low functioning

it sucks to have bad days all the time, some of us are stuck like that

there can be worse, like the worst case of burnoutr I had, and I turned severe for 8 weeks, even going to the toilet was a massive effo0rt
