On instagram everything always seems so perfect and everyone only seems to post staged moments or the best moments of their lives.⠀ ⠀ I like being honest about my life, and my many ups and downs. About all the things that go well but also share whenever things are just a little meh.. ⠀ ⠀ I find it really hard to just let myself be tired, let myself rest, and let myself do nothing.. it makes me anxious to think about all the things that still need to be done.⠀ ⠀ This week was a really “meh” week. In which I was super exhausted from all the hard things I had to do. I attended a wedding and a birthday last weekend, right after my big talk in front of a huge audience. And started the new week with a very awful visit to my gyneacologist. ⠀ ⠀ I had planned to just go back to work the next day, and the rest of the week. But I just couldnt. Moving was hard, eating was hard, drinking was hard, everything was hard. ⠀ ⠀ So I stayed in bed. Until I felt a little better. I hoped it would just be one day, and then felt bad about it when I didn’t feel great again the next day, and the same disappointment followed the day after that...⠀ ⠀ And after I finally told myself that it was fine to take all the time I needed. And that it doesn’t matter... that’s when there was room for me to rest and to slowly start feeling better. ⠀ ⠀ I went outside today! I did an errand I had to do, and I had tea with my friend who visited all the way from Poland 😊 it wasn’t the most productive day, but it was a great day because I did what I could do without pushing myself. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #rest #spoons #actuallyautistic #burnout #autisticburnout #mentalhealth #exhaustion ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
