What to do?

Thpsguy

So even using all the advice I can find obleine including nas and cab I don't know how to progress 

I find work really hard to the point I end up stuck in a job so I can get I come despite being in burn out so bad I don't have a life outside of working and this often leads to what I precise as doing the bare minimum at work and if some one says your doing x y z well I feel like it's somehow them trying to say do your job better 

So now we get to where I'm at right now I have executive dysfunction so bad I find it so hard to get motivation to wash but I have been turned down for pip bit I'm going to try again but even if I'm successful this time that process could be 1 year + from the date I ask for the forms 

I'm awaitibg to see weather I'm placed on lcw or lcwra

But it's two sides of one sword liek if I was working I'd have enough money to have a budget I can stick too but if I do get  a job I'll possibly be jumping in too soon before I have ADHD meds which I'm hoping will allow me to either no longer need anxiety meds or to need them less

    My way of dealing with this was to create a routine when going to work then again when leaving that allowed me to shut down my focus on it and move over to the things I was doing outside of work.

    It was mostly meditation based where on the commute home I would wrap up my thoughts by writing down everything I needed to pick up where I left off. Once it was committed to writing then I had no fear of forgetting anything and could relax into my safe head space and emerge to look forward to my home life.

    I would create a list of things that needed to be done each day in whatever level of detail is needed then blindly follow this to make sure the essentials are taken care of. Once the list is complete then I can relax and allow myself time to recharge.

    By working from the checklist I found it much easier to work through times of burnout by relying on the process but including enough time to let my mental state heal.Job hunting with several hundred applications became just an autopilot exercise but luckily always resulted in a job in the end so I was always able to provide for my wife.

    If I recall, anxiety meds are often not effective for autistic anxiety so I would ask your GP to have a specialist consult on this. Try some web searches on the subject to see the amount of articles on the subject.

    ADHD seems to respond better to medication for many people however, but as we are not allowed to offer medical advice here I would repeat - ask for a specialist consult on the subject.

    Good luck with finding a way forward.
