    I find my life has no point currently.

    I empathise with this post like you wouldn't believe. Transportation limits are such a big barrier that people don't really talk about outside of "just use public transport". Does not solve the problem when the infrastructure is not there. It is excessively difficult to find a sense of purpose...

    I have to pressure myself to do everything

    Yes absolutely it is exhausting trying to even make a living off it as well. I have noticed the exponential rise of hypercompetitive individualism in just the last 10 years which is also overwhelming. Definitely contributes to a lot of burnout. Specifically amongst those two hobbies/potential...

    I have to pressure myself to do everything

    I will speak of fields relevant to my experience. Art and photography (of which I do both) require a significant amount of social media presence to make a living from, in my experience. Essentially if you do not post on instagram or Facebook often and exploit the algorithms via SEO, your work...

    I have to pressure myself to do everything

    That is unfortunate and I do share that feeling of retirement being out of reach for many in the coming decades. I can't say that for myself since I don't work, or have never worked a conventional job for long enough to even consider retirement but it must be exhausting for those that don't have...

    I have to pressure myself to do everything

    I can appreciate that as a welcome relief, though I also acknowledge the ones who, prior to retirement, had to live in a neurotypical world often without diagnosis and the associated supports. If you make it that far, that's commendable in it's own way.

    I have to pressure myself to do everything

    I see, the social isolation is typically how I deal with life. So I can understand not feeling lonely as I tend towards that, however I do live in my parent's house so this may not be entirely true if I were to ever live on my own. ADHD can definitely present with OCD so that's not an invalid...

    I have to pressure myself to do everything

    I always thought there was something wrong with me and that's why the typical advice never really worked "just eat healthy, exercise, sleep". I've done all those things and they never really worked for long. I'm almost 31 and I definitely feel there is a significant delay also not helped by...

    I have to pressure myself to do everything

    What do you mean in regards to swapping one issue for another? I actually have come across demand avoidance in my time reading about people's experiences and I think I need to research it more - I will raise it with my psychologist. I have always felt that I am just making excuses for no good...

    Noise pollution of living in Town

    Does that also work for screaming children?

    I have to pressure myself to do everything

    Is this an autism thing? Or is it related to adhd? I have noticed this a lot more upon reflection. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety about a decade before I recently had my autism and adhd diagnosis. The last few years have been extremely hard for me psychologically. Even when I have...

    Burnout

    Burnout for myself is very hard to distinguish from depressive states (which occur frequently). All most likely are extremely intertwined. Generally I suffer from lower energy, I don't want to do anything (despite my brain screaming that it wants me to move), my brain bounces around a lot more...

    Newly diagnosed AuDHD burned out with life

    I am seeing a bit of that, just by browsing here. It is providing some solace to find others that relate to much of what I feel.

    Newly diagnosed AuDHD burned out with life

    I have not met many others on the spectrum. Apart from a partner of a (now ex) friend. We shared a lot of views. However I am used to ridicule for how I think or opinions I hold even though I know the way I feel is not constructive to living in "society". I am not lonely /but/ it is a lonely way...

    Newly diagnosed AuDHD burned out with life

    I am surprised I was not met with hostility. My views aren't something people tend to like. Regarding the Ritalin, I will absolutely be bringing it up with the psychiatrist.

    Newly diagnosed AuDHD burned out with life

    Just as the title describes. Not interested in human society and all the rubbish that comes with humans, can't be bothered with people, normies annoy the crap out of me, humans especially children are too noisy and screechy it's actually ridiculous. I've been alive for 30 years and it seems the...
