- Hi! In this video, I vlog a week of intense (for me) socialising while in autistic burnout. I share my views on laziness, what caused my burnout, the importance of 'mental rest', and how to be happy despite burnout.

Thank you for sharing your experience 💙 I got diagnosed last year and seeing people talk about things I've experienced my whole life without knowing what it meant is so relieving. I grew up being told that I was lazy, stupid, dramatic, weird, a sociopath, just craving attention (even though I tried to hide it really well, hell I used to study how to act normally so people wouldn't notice how offset I was), I was just so anxious and scared of being perceived.. Everything makes sense now, and even though I still struggle daily, at least now I can understand myself better and share how my brain works to those that matter to me so we can make adjustments together. And I don't feel as guilty about putting myself first anymore. I really appreciate channels like yours. 💙

This was very helpful to me. Again. You are so good at explaining how your thinking processes operate. You help me know myself and accept myself, just as I am. And you have done it again with this latest offering. Thank you so much. 💜
Doing the video has hopefully helped you process what's gone on. I also feel at times that I am not wanting to do stuff I should. It's not laziness it's mind self care. You have really done well and things will get better. I'm here for you too.
Thank you for sharing. Very relatable. Do people actually do things without thinking how to do them? I'm always thinking how I should sit or what to do with my hands when trying to appear, well I guess, NT. I'm just coming out of a two year (or so) burnout and totally get the 'hide in your room' feeling. I've done a lot of that over the past year. I've gone as far as shutting myself away in a cupboard before; that wasn't a good idea I discovered when a family member accidentally found me in there during a party. And, very frustrating when people suggest you are lazy. "Life on Pause" OMG I've been on pause for the past 2-3 years. I've done more work/tasks over the past 2 weeks than I have over the past 2 years.
Do you think you have agoraphobia? My partner struggles with a lot of the same issues around people coming to our house, or how many different social events are in the week, even if they’re not long. She also has agoraphobia, that’s why I ask. It’s more a curiosity/my trying to understand them, and less about me trying to tell you that you might have agoraphobia.
I started physically resting to recover from my burnout, too, and for a time it helped, but it only got me so far. I’ve had to pursue my special interests pretty intensely, actually, and realize when I’m tired vs shutting down an emotion (which makes me feel tired). And I realized my brain has a NEED for learning. Like, not learning things regularly makes me deeply depressed, so maybe it would help to think about if there is something like that for you. Like, reading isn’t just nice, it’s vital, or something else like that.
And then also I had to switch antidepressants, and finally medicate my ADHD. I’d noticed that without coffee, I was feeling depressed, so part of it might be related to not treating my ADHD. I started straterra less than a week ago and I feel more like myself than I have in ages.
I know depression and burnout are separate things, but they create a feedback loop for me, so I have to address both.
