I have not felt this emotionally and physically tired in such a long time. I also had the pleasure of experiencing a mini anxiety attack today for the first time in well over a year. In desperate need of a break and some decent sleep

Feeling rather low today. I could feel myself becoming easily stressed again at work today, though I don't believe I showed it. I'm definitely in some sort of burnout. I am easily distracted though which is good. Definitely need a weekend of rest and 0 responsibility

and burnout got the better of me with a challenging job. To the point my boss (not the hiring manager) appeared to be concerned about me. I'm now so anxious the hiring manager will hear about me struggling and go back to her opinion that hiring me was a mistake. I just want a good reputation

When I got this job a year ago the hiring manager tried to reject my job offer just to historic sickness from mental health. Roll on a year and I've had just one sickness due to a gallbladder problem. Since getting this job I've been trying my hardest to prove myself to them. Today however my stress

Realistically I'm only 9 months clean from SH after spending a good year of engaging in it multiple times a week. Part of me misses it, the release it gives and the distraction when dealing with aftercare. There are many benefits of stopping but at times these feelings are strong and it sucks.

Struggling at the moment with intrusive thoughts. I know I've currently been cruising on the edge of burnout for some time now. Struggling to recharge. There's many positives in my life currently so it's not too difficult to challenge the thoughts. I guess it's just a normal experience of recovery.

Having a formal autism diagnosis is bittersweet. On one hand I've gained a deeper understanding of my strengths and challenges and I can support myself better. On the other hand I'm more aware of my challenges resulting in more self hatred, overcompensating and masking.

Really hoping to recharge a bit tonight. I'm running on 0% currently.

Still absolutely fuming at the CMHT cancelling my appointment last minute. My last appointment with them was June 2024. Since then they've had 4 letters from my GP requesting for a medication review. And we all know if I cancelled the appointment they'd just discharge me for non engagement

The CMHT have cancelled my appointment. I'm fuming. Sleepless nights, working over my hours, being off my food all for nothing

Last time this combination happened was during covid and I had to go off work sick with burnout. Here's hoping that being more aware of my needs and challenges will help me navigate this 🤞🏻

There's so much change at work currently. New procedures & increased pressures. I can manage this, albeit stressful and tiring. What I can't manage is on top of this a whole team has moved into our office and changed all the furniture. New people, new layouts, increased noise, it's a big no for me.

I'm a mixture of excessive stress, nerves and tiredness. I feel like one minor inconvenience will absolutely topple me over the edge.

The combination of going back to work after a week off, being short staffed, house hunting, trying to organise house viewings around work, anxiety over an upcoming psych appointment, and working longer hours to make up time for the psych appointment is taking its toll. I have no energy to spare.

is in the hands of a psychiatrist who hasn't seen me for well over 15 months. What is honestly the point of being a CMHT outpatient? I just hope it goes in my favour and maybe I could even be discharged from them... 🤞🏻

Got an appointment in the post for a CMHT review next week. I think it's come off the back of MULTIPLE letters from my GP following my request to come off the antipsychotics. I'm really nervous about this appointment. My GP who knows me very well is in agreement I can come off them. But the decision

Struggling a lot still today. My boss noticed and was thankfully as supportive as she can be considering the nature of the environment I work in. I'm back to checking everything again, struggling with speech, 0 tolerance for noise or change. I'm just burnt out.

bathroom and I've taken my meds. I'm in bed 2 hours later than my normal routine and I'm worried how I'll sleep with my routine being so disturbed. The burnout I was worried about Jas definitely been exacerbated by todays events.

The biggest thing I hate about my autism is the selective mutism and difficulty to transition from emotional states. I also think it's the one thing my wife might struggle with too. However I've managed to communicate via text so we've finally eaten, I've managed to leave the bedroom to go to the

Well I'm guessing I just need to accept it's a bed on an empty stomach, full bladder and no meds kind of evening. I really do not know how to transition from this current state right now. Absolutely defeated

I'm also so stressed because I've been upset in my bedroom all evening and that's not how my normal routine in the evening goes. This whole situation has really made a bad week worse

Calmed ever so slightly. Still feeling sick with worry and dread about future plans changing by not moving house as intended. I'm now majorly stuck in this situation and unable to work out how to transition out. I know I need food and to take my meds but I'm literally unable to transition right now

burnout out. Trying to focus on the now feels impossible. I'm tired, upset, dysregulated, on the verge of meltdown. My plans for next week, next month and next year have all been ruined from this.

Looks like we're going to have to pull out of buying our house. This was my biggest fear. The sudden news has thrown me massively. I don't know what to do with myself or how to move on knowing this. It's upset all my plans for annual leave next week too. It's too much change to take on when already

I am very much on the verge of burnout. Struggling so much currently

Doing a big clean of the house today and I'm already feeling so much better for it! Next on the list is to cook a roast. It's been a couple of months since we've had a weekend at home and it's feeling very refreshing to get on top of everything

Two months on and my GP still hasn't heard back from the CMHT. I'm fed up of being tired all the time and having such a battle to lose weight. Equally I'm the most stable I've been in a long time. These meds have been a life saver for me but my physical health is taking a battering from them.

Struggling with headaches and stomach pain again. Unfortunately I don't have a working phone currently so can't book a GP appointment 😭 suddenly realising how inaccessible healthcare is if you're not fortunate to have and understand technology

Work was good but I feel very flat, and overstimulated this evening. The only cause I can think is from sitting in a hot room all afternoon and maybe some stress and anxiety over what will be a busy day tomorrow.

Do people disclose their ASD diagnosis to healthcare professionals who do not have their medical history readily to hand? I'm still finding it strange that the A&E Dr made a note in my records about my limited eye contact when I was there due to blood pressure concerns and ?infection.
