@dexterfrankenstein: Part 1 - You don't need to earn rest, and there is no benefit to pushing yourself until you burn out or your body shuts down. #neurospicy #audhd #latediagnosedautistic #latediagnosedadhd #permissiontobend
I agree. But the problem I am now having is that it feels so good to rest after so many years of burnout that I am struggling to find the ability to function properly again.

Isn’t life just “keep doing” and rest? I need time for something besides “doing” and resting 😂

Wait a minute.. I thought we were all supposed to wait until the crash to rest. I spent almost a year in bed after being bullied at work, and losing all self confidence.
Seriously though, listen to this man!

I didnt learn this until last year I was 42. Even now I can’t just stop. I so much wish my list would be done. I also only learned two years ago that giving 100% didn’t mean pouring all ur energy, except the amount u need to drive home. Wow.

Something for me to work on. Been diagnosed with ADHD for 15 months and now autism as of 6 days ago.
I've masked so much my whole life I'm still learning how far is too far until I become exhausted and burnt out. Once I can start to notice that coming I'm hoping to be able to convince myself to take the step back to recover before it happens.

My issue is that I’m always tired. No matter now much I rest. Always need to sleep. Always need to sit down 😭

Thank you. I'm having a hard time with resting though because I am finally healed from a 12 year chronic illness battle, so all I want is to be busy and living life, but then I also have ADHD... Which I just found out about a year ago at nearly age 40. And I have a disability snd chronic pain. So that causes exhaustion too. And then now I'm learning so much about autism, and i started crying earlier because I think I am actually AuDHD. It makes my whole life make sense. I had an identity crisis last year when I was diagnosed with ADHD and now that I'm learning so much about autism and finding myself identifying with so much of it, it's happening again. And that's exhausting too. But I don't want to rest though I know I should and have to in order to be semi functional. I'm in a weird place right now. And I know I'm rambling. I appreciate your content though. So, thanks.
