Im off for the summer now and really struggling in that I've been in a complete state of inertia for nearly a week. What's also in the mix is a chronic fatigue-like health scenario. Sometimes the boundaries are blurred but if I were to put my finger on it, I'd say this is more AS related because I've been here time and again. I can't get going with anything for love nor money. I've got plenty of things to be doing but can't start and don't know how to. I need a project to get my teeth into (of which is covered on the "things to be doing") but in my head I know it won't get finished if I start. I'm resorting to engaging with an interest but I've reached peak saturation on that. I'm flim flamming around and haven't got the attention to stick to anything (which I don't know if this is CFS related but I've experienced this before although it seems to be worse now). I don't know if I'm in some sort of emotional burnout because I haven't experienced this stuckness for quite a while. What also adds is a sense that - I can't tell what my expectations of myself should be. When the fatigue is really thick, I know how to pace, but when I'm in this middle ground I don't know what to do but I see this more as autistic inertia. It's also the fact that I see others are able to structure their time off but I can't and I don't know if I'm putting pressure on myself to be a certain way. I've asked for help with one thing and with other things could do with a bit of "shadowing" to motivate me but the obvious person to ask is busy working more than me and has their own stuff to do.
Hey there! Learning Spanish is a journey, and I totally get the struggle with resetting accounts on Babbel. But don't worry, there are plenty of language apps out there!
I can spam my own thread thank you very much
Granted I'm a kosher-eating quasi-vegetarian, but that's the least appetising thing I have ever seen.
Me too.
I just laughed out loud at your new thread title
It's definitely Peter Kay
and I definitely don't use the word jus as a matter of course
Thank you deleted user for, what has been frankly, the highlight of my day.
Is 'hast tha' nowt' northern English?
I think you should rename this thread:
'The autistic inertia, spam and corned beef hash thread'.
Mine is carrot, onion, potato (and swede if you're being fancy) boiled in oxo and water with the corned beef chucked in at the end.
And to both of you - hast tha' nowt moist in your hash? You need a bit of "jus" for dipping the bread and butter!
Mine used to be the standard orrible mush (like most people do - mash potato with a tin of cb mixed in?) but then I grew up and became a man!
Nowadays, mine is more of a gourmet affair with everything cooked a few times in different stages in different ways. It looks like messy oven roasted cubes of potato basking in fresh herbs and quite tight and tasty bundles of CB throughout, all sweetened with virtually caramelised onions.....and yes, a little grated cheese added to the plate - then under the grill to char the top of everything.
One of my favorite comfort foods....but takes a LONG time to prepare.....the process of cooking it seems to bring out my inner auti.
