Burnout

Poodle

Hello, this is my first post here.

I was recently diagnosed autistic a week before I turned 30, now I feel like I am navigating it on my own.

I wondered if anyone feels comfortable sharing their experience of burnout and what helped you get put of burnout / recover.

  • can't say I've ever got put of burnout - they have all left a mark on me  -   Think what happens to vegetation when a fire has been thro an area of ground. 

    It does regrow in time :-)

    Time, develop insight and take care.

    2 years after diagnosis for me (and another big burnout) 

    Found it hard to learn but it does get easier.

    My goals now be potentially easier to get to as I got to know my autism and no longer cut against the grain so much; it's a lot easier swimming with the tide than against it.
    I find that working on acquiring an intuitive sense of what can and cannot be and aligning my efforts to that it helps.

    If you are able to get rid of any unhelpful or un-nourishing stuff from your life it can help.  Best to do that carefully yourself before it accidentally spills on those around you if you can.

    Once there's a better balance to life it's easier to spot the good bits and the opportunities.
