Hello,
I’m waiting to be assessed for Autism and I’m trying to understand more about what the difference is between mental exhaustion and physical exhaustion.
Usually if I feel tired or ‘not right’ I’ll have a sugary snack but it’s not made a difference to my energy levels recently.
I’ve been more critical about my appearance, more obsessed with emptying my bowels and eating ‘clean’. The gym has become non-existent. I simply can’t place myself anywhere right now that will make me feel better.
I am also crying a lot and breaking down over guys and thinking I’m ugly and shouldn’t be seen by anyone.
I feel constantly stressed out of my mind and I wish I could sleep and wake up feeling better but I’m not tired in that way.
I’m really struggling with this.
When I feel like that I clean something..
It's activity that occupies me in a predictable and easy manner, but which yields a positive result every time.
A form of mental rest and recuperation, and in my case it "cheers me up" looking at or living in a cleaner more orderly environment.
Yea i can relate to that. A good way to put it, a decluttered house is a decluttered mind sort of thing
