Hit a wall then engage in some forensic sleuthing and realize, oh shit Ive been redlining for at least 2 months and wasnt even aware? Like you just put your head down and plow through because well, thats what you gotta do only to realize you exceeded your capacity ages ago without even recognizing youve been struggling hard? Only through reflection on the past can you ascertain your feelings? In my experience, sometimes it do be like that. Much love my spectrum peeps. Remember to take care of yourself.
Oh yes, but this time it’s different and I will pay attention and avoid burning out…! Truth: change something but not the right thing, struggle, crash, repeat.
Two months? Jesus, two months was 18 months ago
Yep. And overheating in a ditch was another 18 months ago.
Meanwhile society:
I can’t go 2 months without eating
For me it is a full day of ignoring my body because I am hyper focused on a project
That’s me! Glad to know I’m not alone.
