The more I disconnected from negative self-talk, and the less I judged myself, the less I judged others and the more my compassion for them grew.

People who experienced a burn out, how do you try to do things differently?
My eldest (23) is finally getting a bit better (had to drop off uni 1y3/4 ago ). I think it would help his self esteem to change what his day looks like (the idea being you can't do things the same and expect a different outcome), but starting slowly so as not to trigger any set back.
Have you experienced this? Could you telle me about it? Any advice?

@dansup I have LOADS of Pixelfed posts iny feed that are stills taken from a YouTube video and a link to it (quite prevalent when I search for the tag #ADHD or #Audhd. If I wanted a link to a video I'd go somewhere else and I understand it's someone quite well meaning, but Pixelfed is primarily for image sharing, not link sharing.
The ways I work the most comfortable had a lot more to do with autism than with ADHD. I do not require novelty, I require routine. In fact I hate novelty at work and prefer structure and continuous building up and progressing over a solid foundation.
When people keep moving that foundation or the thing I should be focusing on, work becomes a nightmare and start to burn out.
@maikel @actuallyadhd autism's strength lies in refinement.
as an #AuDHD I like my novelty in art and learning and social media, and my routine/refinement in everything else.
The systems in our society are deeply broken. Autistics often feel the effects earlier and more strongly, but people of all kinds are burning out in record numbers because we can't keep this up much longer.

Them: Can you confirm you have no more than 15 personal electronic devices in your carry on?
Me: (excitedly infodumping) Well, it really depends what you consider to be a device. Many of these computers themselves contain multiple smaller computers. Consider these microSD cards (waves a small anti-static bag around), each of which has a tiny ARM processor - designed by a trans person from the BBC Micro team, if I might go off at a tangent for a moment. Or the battery controller chip on the LiPo pouch protection circuit, which significantly reduces the probability of a thermal excursion. And let's face it, nobody wants a spicy pillow in their lap at 30,000 feet-
Them: Just say yes. (Pleadingly) Just yes. That's all I'm asking. I'm begging you.
LICENSE ISSUED: I am officially a Pennsylvania LPC! 🐺✨
I am vibrating as I write this, but it is official: I am Joan Elizabeth Burgos, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), License No. PC019845.
The Board meeting happened yesterday, the "Educational Transcript" hurdles have been cleared, and I am now fully authorized to practice in the State of Pennsylvania. I have already notified the recruiter at my dream UPMC job, and so... here we go!
Where I Stand Now: For months, I’ve been a "whispering wind," feeling like my value was invisible while I fought through the darkness of poverty and bureaucratic static. But today, I won.
No, WE won! All the barriers are gone, and I could never have held out this long without you. Without ANY of you. Whether you gave $400 or $5, I know what I was asking, and I know that you've given all that you could, and OMG I may finally be able to start paying it all back by GIVING rather than RECEIVING soon!
Well, there is only ONE potential hurdle left, and that's the literal cost of movement.
I still need to navigate interviews and onboarding logistics. IF I get my dream job (a high probability), then after a week, I will be so good and so safe as I finally start welding some disconnected pieces of my life together. But if I don't, things'll just be a little harder a little while longer. It's not forever, but I hope I get my dream job and all this comes to an end sooner.
Transportation costs in Pittsburgh (Lyfts to hospitals, transit passes, and basic survival until that first paycheck hits) are the only things left between me and a career where I can finally be a full person again. I am so close I can taste the stable, independent life ahead of me. If you can help me cross this final gap, I can finally stop surviving and start building.

Thank you for seeing me when I was discouraged and when I was at my worst. And for helping me stay in the fight until the stars aligned.
Now, then.
Let’s finish this.

If you just show up and go, “This is me, and I’m weird in this particular way and that’s a great thing.” And they’re like, “Great! I’m weird too, in this other way.” And you both just accept each other, that’s just the best thing ever.
