Is that an example of what you do when trying to recover from burnout?

I know for autism, it's common for folks to engage in familiar stuff (rewatching nostalgic shows, playing favorite games, etc). I'm trying to do that more as a way to relax/soothe.

I guess this includes online/social media stuff?

I've been very guilty of consuming info-dense videos (aka).

I was hoping today would go well but now my dad is worried about his high blood pressure (he got a REALLY HIGH blood reading) and I'm just...fuck.

I was gonna do a bit more with this but I can't be bothered.

Autistic burnout is a bitch if you live in a unpredictable environment with a possibly-bipolar brother who'll spike your cortisol.

Fellow autistics: how do you deal with burnout? Like, do you have to give yourself days with minimal activity/interaction online in order to recover? If so, how?

04.03.2026 01:03 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah, I can relate to the stress. It's hard trying to doing when you're basically forced to live with family.

Also, thank you very much for answering my question.

It's just been so bad. It's made it hard to work on commissions and be productive.

While I don't mind doing digital, I've always had fun making traditional pieces. Inkwash has been something I've been getting more into again, recently.

I personally call it a more fitting name: Xitter (The "X" is pronounced with a "sh", lol).

Do you use any add-ons/apps to help limit yourself being on certain websites?

I apologize, what's "yamr"?

What do you use to listen to music/ambience? I avoid services like Spotify.

Do you use any apps/ browser add-ons when trying to relax?

Never forget that society sucks and the world is falling apart because the most miserable 4chan users are controlling the government and social media..

I've always wanted to draw other's OCs. It's just life/autism inertia gets in the way.

I'd like to draw some of your OCs, someday. Especially Lita.

My favorite part is when Space Ceaser, the emperor of Space Rome, got stabbed a bunch of times.

I do need to watch the rest of the series....

Hmmm, I see. I'll definitely be patient with the person on the line, when doing this. Since I assume any complaints/concerns will be taken into account.

(WIP)

I find making this cathartic. I wish I can explain why but I can't be bothered, right now.

Also a reminder: all of the art of fat m00t-tan today would have gotten you many slurs (from well-adjusted individuals [/s]) and the b& hammer on 4chan. Even if you make her look cute.

Remember this.

For those keeping score:

Making and selling art to other consenting adults on the internet = Not always okay with payment processors, and possibly illegal, depending on where you live.

LITERAL WAR PROFITEERING = Perfectly fine, legal, and as it turns out, tax-free!

I would but what if I'm concerned about Paypal doing some shady shit with my account if I call them about this?

20+ years ago, some websites had solutions for when others would directly link images/gifs/ from theirs. I forgot what the term was called. One of the solutions was having the image revert to a specific image.

One site used the "πŸπŸ‘€" image.

If only that was that easy, nowadays.

It's not my place to speak on this since I don't have gender dysphoria...

However, you're not alone in having intrusive/negative thoughts. It helps to talk to others about their experiences with such thoughts.

I hope you're able to recover ASAP. Dealing with infections sucks.

Didn't think I'd be posting myself here again, I'm currently in a pretty dire situation regarding bills and as a result I'm gonna be opening up emergency comm edits for the time being. Job market has been complete ass in my area and I need to make 400 dollars by the end of the month
