Burnout is a form of trauma. Your brain naturally recoils from the things injuring it over and over, even if those are things you would enjoy doing in a rested state. That trauma compounds over time, and the longer you continue to grind away, the longer it will take to recover (if you ever do.)

No one listens to me or takes me seriously no matter what age I am.
16 and depressed: "You're still very young"
32 and depressed, suffering with autistic burnout:
"You're still very young"
How old do I need to be for people to finally start listening to me?

When we’re deep in autistic burnout, the question “Are you going back to work soon?” can land like a punch to the gut.
It’s like asking a marathon runner who’s just collapsed at the finish line if they’re ready for the next race.

Autistic Burnout isn’t just “too much work.”
It’s masking.
Pain. Shame.
Trying to care for everyone while no one cares for you.
It’s rejection sensitivity, executive dysfunction, chronic illness, trauma.
And still being told you’re “high functioning.”
No wonder we break.

Autistic Burnout is NEVER random.
It’s what happens when we’re denied recovery.
When we push through our meltdowns and aren’t allowed self-care.
When our needs are called “too much.”
When we carry everything alone.
It’s not about effort.
It’s about surviving systems that won’t let us rest.

More to say on burnout and I'm probably going to boost it a few times because folks need to hear it:
Burnout is a form of brain damage. It happens when stress conditions persist until they damage our brains.
It's an injury that needs to heal, not a weakness that needs to be pushed through.

Man burnout can mess you up for a very long time.
And it can sneak up on you: things can seem stressful but mostly manageable until suddenly they're not manageable.
Self care and vacation are great, but they're guardrails: they don't help when you've already fallen in.

The followup to “don’t confuse my medical education with your use of Google” is “don’t confuse that one lecture you attended when you had a violent hangover with my decades of living with this condition”
