Burnout or depression?

Kool_kat

I was only diagnosed in April. For a few months ive felt numb, exhausted, constantly over stimulated, on edge, panicky, angry. I feel like I dont care about anything. People keep bringing me problems at work and I just dont care. Things that id normally want to sort and help with I now just couldn't care less. 

I feel like everyone wants something from me and I get nothing in return. I just dont have anymore to give. 

Is this autistic burnout or depression?

  • It sounds like burnout to me. I bought a book called "The Autistic Burnout Workbook' which has been helpful. I also have watched videos explaining autistic burnout symptoms on Youtube.

    I'm going through burnout and am signed off sick from work. Maybe you could talk to your GP?
