Kurzer gefühlter Stress mit Behörde und schon sind die Erkältungssymptome da 🤷🏻 Schnupfen, Halsschmerzen, Kopfschmerzen, Lunge verschleimt als würde ich rauchen 🤧
Hoffentlich bin nicht wirklich krank. Weil normalerweise kommt diese Stress-Erkältung nicht sooo schnell. Und hoffentlich ist sie in ein paar Stunden wieder weg.

Currently dealing with something super cool and awesome. Late diagnosed autistic, and currently going through what is quite severe autistic burnout.
The cool thing is that I just remembered a couple times I went non-verbal rather than fighting tooth and nail to mask and fawn, and how good it was for my body/senses/nerves to allow myself to go non-verbal instead... And yet, it feels so extremely humiliating in retrospect, that I can't or won't let myself do it this time.

I hate this time of year. The Dread starts around August when I 1st think abt the calls & making my excuses to avoid flying & all the end of the year stuff.
The Obligatory Thanksgiving calls are done so that's out of the way, but even though it's just me & my SO who I absolutely love not doing anything holiday-related, I'm still full-on in The Awful Time. The Holidays still happen & what is a well-needed break for most people is agonizing, life-draining hell for me.
My routines are destroyed for over a month. I'm always perceived. There's always noise. I'm locked in a masked freeze state. My time alone is completely stripped & I'm hiding in the bathroom just to get 5 minutes of solitude for a mini-meltdown so I can keep it together for another few hours. I am anxiously counting down until the holidays are over & I finally get a break from the chaos & intrusion. All while hating myself & feeling shame and guilt for every second of it because what an awful way to feel about spending time with someone you love. At least now I know I'm #Autistic & that's why.
35 days to go.
