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.

  • Maybe try CBT or ask your therapy to give you some techniques you can use to try help you relax and let go of the negative things 

    Have you considered working less hours so that you can focus more on self care and being yourself?

    it's good you're trying to do exercise, even if it doesn't seem to help - have you thought about different exercise you could do, which might be more fun and relaxing?
