What can I do? I can't go on. I don't want to be autistic any more

Untoward

I have tried so hard. I have tried so hard to fit in. To behave how I'm supposed to behave. Whatever I do, I just am not normal. I don't know how to talk to people. I don't understand people. I don't understand why they like the things they do. I don't know what to say to people. I want to be friends but I don't know how.  I see other people doing what I want to be able to do, but despite my best analytical efforts, it is a mystery that I can't emulate.

I've spent my whole life trying, and I have nothing to show for it. I'm so alone.

I've built up barriers, to protect myself: from other people, and from my own feelings, which I do not understand. I'm so alone, but I don't know how to connect with anyone. I have never managed it ever in my life, not even to my own family.

Today the levee broke. I came home and cried, and once I started I couldn't stop. I'm done. I can't keep on doing this. Is it burnout again? I curled up in a ball crying, unable to stop. That shouldn't happen to an adult. What can you do when you can't cope.

  • You need to stop ruminating on the the fact your different and let your body recover from the burnout because your going to add to the burnout and the time for you to recover from it is going to increase. 

    You do understand that neuro typical go through burnout just less often, your human and we all experience this. what's important is to remember that its not your fault. its not because you on the spectrum that this is happening to you. Its happening because the entire of humanity is not designed to follow society broken rules. We not suppose to work as much as we are expected, we not suppose to live in tiny homes, we not suppose to be operating the way we have the last several decades. Being autistic we are in tune to this fact and that's why we burnout so much quicker. 

    if you are really struggling. take the time to recover from the burnout do not push your self until you have fully recovered and outreach to close family or friends that will not judge and ask them for help, they may not be able to help you themselves but they can help in finding solutions to your problems.
