  • I can relate to this. I work 5 days a week 8-4. I find myself with the light off and straight into bed after work and struggle with burnout on the weekend. It’s a vicious cycle of working and burnout and not enough time to decompress. I often cry and find myself so scared at the thought of my future as an autistic person. I work because I need to pay bills and I’ve applied for PIP but we all know it’s a case of “how impaired/disabled are you really ?” . I’ve been thinking about applying for part time but that’s a considerable amount of money I’d be losing . Sorry for the life story but yes , it seems like burnout .
