Meltdowns almost every weekend

pins

I got ADD+Autism. I am just so tired. Weekends, one's supposedly meant to be relaxing. But, weekends is really another endless amount of chores to pickup from everything I didn't have energy to do after work in the evenings of the weekdays. I feel like I'm constantly working, I take on way too many personal projects as well, because here's the catch: I do not know how to relax. And any moment in between work and personal projects, I have constant bureaucracy to-do's hanging over my head. I tried so many different hobbies. They all eventually stress me out too. I exercise 5 days a week. Doesn't seem to help.

Sorry for rant, not sure if there's any advice to be given or if anyone feels or felt similar, but not sure where to turn to.

I'm just tired of these meltdowns and of living this way, but I really don't know how to manage it.

  • Hello, thank you for sharing this with everyone.

    I too deal with what you have mentioned, I agree with the earlier post saying it could be burnout. A few years ago I was in the same position, to a point where I was having breakdowns thrice daily and I couldn't even work.

    Perhaps if you're not already, mention CBT therapy (Cognitive behavioural therapy). This helped me massively and its essentially giving you good habbits to get yourself back on track, from breathing exercises, journals or simply matras, seems simple and perhaps cooky to some, but it's incredible.

    When I feel overwhelmed, I lie down, get some breeze, turn off all electronics and just focus on my breathing. Try clearing your mind, it seems hard but every time you do it, you get a little bit better. Just like anything, practice makes perfect.
