Farituge & lack of motivation

Magnolia1

I have been feeling so v tired & completely unmotivated to do anything.  I just sit with my cats and watch tv and that's all I can manage.  

Don't know if it's medical or physiological.

  • I occasionally feel this way. I go through phases of having small bursts of creativity and then other phases of having no interest in anything. Even the things I used to really enjoy hold no interest during these times.

    I've been in and out of autistic burnout for a year or so and this is what it feels like. I find that when I rest enough and practice self care (water, food, rest, supplements and therapy) but sometimes it still comes back during times of overwhelm and overstimulation.

    Sometimes even when I get moments of joy I have to be mindful not to use too much energy being excited because the comedown needs recovery and can push me back into burnout. It's a difficult balance and even that can be exhausting.
