Thx for bringing this up!
I experience two states. One is emotional and mental instability. I can change from confidence and joy to exhaustion and hopelessness and back several times a day.
The other one is emotional numbness, when my compensation of alexithymia is worn out. If this lasts longer than 2-3 weeks, I‘m in danger of running into a deep suicidal crisis without warning.

@manon @actuallyautistic @autisticadvocacy @audhd for me, I swing between a manic need to do everything but not be able to do it properly, complete disdain for anyone asking anything of me, and when it gets bad it triggers my schizophrenia.

I wonder if it’s a form of Functional Neurological Disorder.

@f1337 @actuallyautistic @autisticadvocacy @audhd there certainly are some overlaps between FND and some people's experiences of burnout
