Yesterday was my first bigger "party" since self-diagnosis. It was a work event. After 2h, I was overloaded and in danger of getting a migraine. Could prevent with sugary drinks. After 4h, I got cranky but my ride wanted to go home, too.
Today, I have a social hungover. Luckily, we got the day off.
I am glad that I went, but the next time I try to recruit more of "my" people because everyone sticks to their team mates there, not so much mingling. #ActuallyAutistic 1/2
@Firyar Being #overloaded burned out and finding it difficult to keep up with a seemingly ever-growing list of things that need attention... yeah, I know this existance. And if I can manage to use my #hyperfocus to break it down and focus on bits of the list I can slowly catch up. Lately it feels like there's just too much and I have found it hard to make this strategy work. Wish I could delegate some of this. Feeling some NT imposter syndrome, I think. #ActuallyAutistc#AuDHD@actuallyautistic
