How can I stop a burnout?

Seren

Over the last few months my meltdowns and shutdowns have become more frequent. I'm barely working, I'm exhausted all the time. I feel so alone, useless and a burden and I don't want to go through this anymore. I don't know where to go to get help. I used to be able to do so much, why can't I be who I used to be? What happened, what went wrong?

  • Hi and welcome

    I get your situation burnouts can be soul destroying. You are doing the best you can by resting. I echo Bunny's suggestion of contacting your GP.

    I have been feeling like for almost 2 years now and cannot see a way to climb out of my particular situation. I fear that I will not have to worry about work in the near future and end  up on the scrapheap a few years too early!

    I hope you can find your way through this. I am pretty sure that there are resources on the internet if you search autistic burnout etc.
