It’s something I have been thinking about lately, I don’t know if all autistic people suffer from burnout, I realised I’m autistic about 4 years ago, I had always suffered from tiredness but this total exhaustion started, I did disappear down a rabbit hole with researching autism,
I’ve lost interest in everything, even things a cared about passionately.
I feel like a zombie who just exists, not happy or sad, just existing. I had blood tests about 2 years ago and all normal. It was mentioned at my assessment that I should think about therapy for PTSD, I’m wondering if I should have sought an ADHD Diagnosis at the same time, my mind never rests.
I’ve been in this exhaustive state now for 3 years, I have cutdown on work a bit, but even when I’m working I have no interest.
The only way I can describe it is, getting of a long flight and it’s a the start of that day, you are exhausted and waves of anxiety then just happen all day. Almost disorientated.
I’ve tried vitamins, but no difference, I had a spell where I couldn’t even get up in the mornings, I get up now because I have to. I try to watch tv in the evenings and just fall asleep, I then go to bed at about 9pm and sleep till 7am.
Has anyone else dealt with any of this?
