I'm right on the tip of a burnout and know I need to make some changes if I want to stop myself tipping into the abyss, although I don't have the energy to think, process and take action. I've noticed a lot of aspies seem to go through regular burnout - have any of you found ways to cope when you feel yourself moving into the 'not coping' territory? I went through this about four years ago and my doctor kindly signed me off for three months 'sick leave' so I could stay home and regroup. I'm considering going back and asking if I can do this again, although it's hard to explain to others why I would need this. Any ideas how to turn down the volume on 'Life' so it's not so overwhelming? I've got barely any support, a job I'm struggling with and doing my best to raise five kids on my own. I'm truly grateful for my own home, but maintenance and upkeep is one more drain...
