Out of Routine

NAS78334
24 days ago

Hi, I’m autistic with ADHD, I do office work, manage a department, work globally with lots of meetings, long hours. I’m at the end of a 2 week holiday but have seriously struggled, can’t sleep, super anxious. I can’t work out if it’s because I’m out of routine or just burnout or maybe both. Work is seriously draining but also I’m fairly good at it so I’m motivated to do a good job but hate the fact I’m going back to work just as stressed as 2 weeks ago

    Hi!

    It definitely seems like something is amiss - I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling under such a heavy workload. :(

    This NAS article explains about autistic fatigue and burnout, and offers advice on what to do if you're experiencing it:

    There's also some great advice about anxiety here:

    It sounds like it might be worth you talking to your GP to see about getting some support?
