I appreciate all you do on this platform. Genuinely thank you
Hygiene's been a BIG one in recent years. Never was before.
I feel this on a deep level. At the beginning of my burnout I couldn't do "basic" things like laundry or brushing my teeth. I just lost hope. It got better and I'm at the tail end of a very long burnout. Actively preventing myself from dwelling on the shame I feel has been huge.
Thanks for pointing this out. This is my own experience with autistic burnout. Very difficult to explain to neurotypical family members and friends…
Everything you said...
Reminded me of last year when I reached a point where I knew if it went just a little further, I would be catatonic. I'm serious. Was completely useless for I don't know how long. I concentrated hard on staying alive so I could care for my animals. My rabbit was always present because she's a house rabbit. Every time I looked at her I smiled. If it weren't for that, I might have forgot how to do that, too.
I know I've said it before, but you were one of the people that helped me get out of the pit and I'll always remember that. Thanks again!
You are a lifesaver for people who don't have any support or friends in their offline world that understand. I'm glad you have a supportive family. 😺😺😺😺😺 🐰🐦🐦 Smiles from all of my household.
My name is Raven, I'm deep in burnout.
My daughter and pets are why I'm still alive.
@@ravenspace Nice to meet you. My name is Raven, too. I'm sorry you're going through burn out. It's good we have reasons to go on, isn't it?
Deleted contacts
Solitude
Withdrawal
Like done with this life, ready for next.
Packing
Me for years now, not working, just binge watching tv all day every day. Except for walking my doggo and going to the supermarket if i cant afford the delivery fee
I feel seen.
This is me as well.
My grandmother and mother were like that too.
My sister goes through it.
I still do, and would feel "broken", now I know that I'm not.
I appreciate this knowledge as my son is 8 with autism. I like being able to learn more to better understand what he is going through (i know its not the same for everyone) thank you
Having a really hard time at work because I’m burnt out 😢
Oh the last one creeps up on me.
Love your commitment to this, you help me understand things a lot
I don't actually know if I'm autistic, but I do know that I'm neurodivergent and this is how I CONSTANTLY felt while I was at my previous job. I had to quite because it was causing serious problems with my mental health.
That's very interesting. The way you describe autistic burnout has many similarities to what many neurotypical people describe when they have depression. Thanks for all your valuable information Orion.
i struggle with adhd, i was recently diagnosed with autism, and i've also been recently thrown into a completely new and unfamiliar environment, routine and group of people.
this is really helpful information for me to understand if i'm just having a depressive episode or if it's something else, like autistic burnout. and i think rn it's a bit of both.
I have never been diagnosed with this but best I get tested because I completely had every symptom of the burnout and it lasted for at least 6 months,
Been seriously burnt out lately cause I have to push myself to do fucking anything around the house since I have a sloth for a sibling. Was literally muttering hygiene halfway through only to be vindicated.
I sleep in a grimy bed but at least shower most days. Havent been able to shave or moisturize cause vices...😮💨
im still able to do what i call "big scary adult things" if someone else i care about is counting on me to get it done, but it comes at a massive cost to my wellbeing, like taking poison dmg every step in the old pokemon games
I felt empty inside, nothing made fun and it was like I wasn‘t able to take Part in life, like I was living in a dream world
Feel like that a lot of the time to be honest 😢
Learn from the Experts! lol
That is similar to depression and I got treatment for that for years with no success
This speaks to me alright.
So most of my depression was actually autistic burnout. And so is my current episode. Damn...😢
In one sense I think I am coming out of burnout; ADHD meds may be giving me some motivation. But I have withdrawn from all social realms but TH-cam, and my wife (who may be in burnout) and I cannot manage to not trigger each other any more, so meltdowns are common. Today, in the wake of an explosive meltdown yesterday, and mired in adrenaline fatigue and depression, I am thinking that I don't wish to do emotions any more. I had a Nietzche-Zen moment this morning when I squashed a mosquito, and considered that basically we are all just organisms stumbling along on instinct, regardless of success. I'm tired of failing, and wondering if I can just move forward, doing the compulsory things I have to do, one foot in front of the other, for not good reason other than that there's nothing else to do. I've done anhedonia before, but if I could do it without the depression, it would at least give me some peace. Has anyone pulled this off? I know, I'm supposed to feel emotions, yada yada yada, but it almost seems like this might be a version of unmasking for some people on the spectrum. Can I train myself to not give a sh*t, and pull it off if I don't mind not feeling much of anything? I've given too much of a sh*t my whole life and I want to let it go, but my emotions do not do moderate. And I never could do connection and reciprocity anyway.
How do we "snap out of it" or "get back into the swing of things"? Or whatever phrase like that you prefer. It drives my wife nuts when I get burnout.
I just got diagnosed at age 47 this year.
My boyfriend is as well
Since we have gained better understanding of ourselves and each other, we have been more gentle on each other concerning each other's needs.
We are the szme in quite a few ways, but very different in most. I am still navigating being understanding and supportive to his way of communicating, his was of stimming, and his need for regulation with solitude and minimal activity (especially during a burnout.)
I am responsible for accepting where he is at when in a burnout.
Or a shutdown, misunderstanding my needs and feelings, and even his meltdowns (which don't happen often. When they do he blows up at me and says terrible things. Since I know they are meltdowns I process and validate my hurt feelings, then I leave him alone to rest and regulate.)
It is not your job to "snap out of it". Nor is it my boyfriend's job. Nor (when it comes to my challenges with autism) is it mine.
We need support and understanding from our partners (he is also working on supporting my needs when it comes to meltdowns, shutdowns, burnout, etc.)
For s preference of solitude
