Resting

Ed S
over 5 years ago

After a really bad week at work, lots of sensory issues and anxiety and a meltdown on Thursday evening when I got home work. 

I decided to do as little as possible this weekend.

I had to cancel going out Friday night because I was so tired. Yesterday I just rested and slept. 

Today, I’m feeling a little more human.

    For most of my adult life, until I received an autism diagnosis, I thought that I had a physical illness of some kind as I was forever feeling tired. I had blood tests many times and nothing was ever found. Since being diagnosed, it has changed my life as I know accept that I need to rest after social interaction. I often have a little nap in the afternoon or when i come home from work. I think that sleep and rest is really important - I used to feel guilty about it and now I understand it is part of who I am. I feel so much better for it - good for you for having a proper weekend rest.
