i totally understand the autistic burnout, that shit is NO JOKE 🫂 i know it’s hard to have compassion for yourself, but burn out and not being able to regulate and feel safe (which is what i struggle with and often makes me neglect things) is so hard to go through,, i really hope you can find some comfort,, you are not alone in these struggles even though you have to face them yourself,, just don’t give up on yourself 🫂🫂
i’m sorry you’re struggling with this :( i’ve been there, and i hope you can find strategies that help! i’m glad at least you have things like wipes to help with hygiene, just don’t bully yourself over it! it’s super frustrating to be stuck in such a way but you can keep going!! it took me a while to get back to like not doing the bare minimum from my lowest.. i’m sending you good energy my friend!! 🫂
honestly i usually tell myself it will help me feel better but i usually have to like psych myself up LMAO or i’ll convince myself that like i stink really bad or something.. but when i get depressed and it effects my showering i use wipes too… i think it’s easier to convince my brain bc my hair is longer now so i have to shower and wash my hair (although sometimes that does the opposite but if my hair gets too dirty i like freak out)
if you isolate for long enough you start becoming more and more transparent until people can’t see you and objects phase right through your fingers and you can’t grab hold of anything ever again
this usually doesn’t get to me but like my parents acted like they worked today so that means they are all out without me, both my siblings too… just feels bad :)
