My Autistic Burnout Is Getting Worse

I've had burnout for the past few years as a result of living in bad places. I finally settled somewhere, or so I thought, but this is under the same landlord as the last. I'm experiencing so many sensory nightmares, all from the lack of a roof and a proper door. And careless housemates. On top of that, the support I'm supposed to get doesn't seem to plan anything ahead of time let alone give me a timetable of when they're visiting, which is resulting in me putting on weight and unable to exercise. 

Tried therapy and failed, it wasn't what I needed despite asking for autism specialized therapists

Where it becomes a bigger problem is being unable to communicate during burnout. Once it's started, I can't communicate. I ignore people a lot more. 

I don't know what to do at this point, it just makes me want to no longer exist. Every day is becoming a nightmare. It's only been worsened with all the issues happening around the world. I can't stay comfortable.

  • Sensory issues are overwhelming me at the moment, the lack of control over my environment is massively affecting my sense of inner calm and life enjoyment. It’s the worst feeling to feel trapped in a cycle of predictable uncomfortable situations. The only escape I have found is to go into my back garden and sit on the garden sofa for a while, it sounds great right but that’s not my first choice, I’d rather sit indoors in a quiet place.
