  1. CW: Mentions of mental health, AuDHD burnout, academic stress

    I think I've finally accepted that I may be too soft for a career in #tech. And that's okay. For me, it's not because I'm intellectually incapable of the job; it's that many who are drawn to this field unfortunately do not know what to do whenever emotions or #mentalhealth become a factor. I'm #AuDHD and very sensitive, and I've also realized recently that I've been in #audhdburnout since entering #college in 2021. I did manage to graduate earlier this year (magna cum laude to boot!), but it honestly beat the shit out of me. Between the price tag of US college and how miserable I was towards the last half of my #CS degree, it makes me wonder if I was ever truly cut out for any of it. I did an internship, made a couple personal projects I like, and went above and beyond for course credits (partially due to being afraid of my college screwing me with those - another discussion for another day). On paper I look good for a new grad. But in reality, I'm burnt, and after graduating I proceeded to spend the summer flailing figuring out income/employment. I'm only just starting to feel like I know which direction to go. I'm very grateful that my dad lets me live with him, and has put minimal pressure on me so far to get my shit together. 1/2

  2. Do you ever go somewhere to get something you need and there’s just way too many people and places and world and just dhisiabdbgkwoaoenngxojebsbaha owpakabwiwbdbforodndbebdbfhjeksksjfnfnfnt #audhdburnout

  3. The hardest part of recovery, is knowing when I'm at my limits mentally and having to not attend a group because of burnout. This is the first time I've been able to pick up on my own exhaustion and not push myself too far. It's rough. #adhd #audhdburnout #audhd #adhdbrain #autism #actuallyautistic
