Different days

Billy87

Does anyone else have vastly different days with regards to their autism and ability to do things? Some days I feel that I can do almost anything, communicate fairly normally with people and do daily tasks and work and cope quite well with life

Other days I just cant cope with anything. Even the littlest things throw me and cause crashes and meltdowns. I have to talk very slowly and deliberatley to be able to talk at all and I cant cope with any daily tasks such as washing up or going to the shops and just need to hide away with music and the thought of doing things like going out or going to work seem like something I will never be able to do again

Can anyone else relate to this?

  • 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

    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!

    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
