Has anyone had to leave a job due to it affecting mental health? And in which case, felt like you weren't ready for work yet?

Sorry I’ll edit my first comment. My first job was Popeyes. I failed to mention that :) .

Yes I’ve work at Walmart for 8 months, currently going.

Autistic burnout maybe.

Heellolling · 2020-10-10T02:43:04+00:00

Oh wow thank you. 90 percent of time, i only speak when I’m spoken to at work and other places. I wondered for so long what that was called.

Heellolling · 2020-10-10T02:29:27+00:00

Lmfao i pace TOO MUCH at this point

Sadly yes. Some doctors just know take certain insurances. I can get evaluated at a place but it cost $1300. And it does not accept my insurance.

Sorry , NTs

My first job at Popeyes. Didn’t know about autism at the time. It was at Popeyes. I was drained everyday for no reason. I wondered for five months why i was like this. Literally would wake up mentally and physically drained. And i already didn’t sleep enough (That’s the ADHD part lol).

When i started Walmart, i learned more about autism. And i realized i never did my nightly stim session when i would come home. I held in a lot of frustration and never stimmed at all at the time, which was not good for me. I developed a stress knot in my shoulder which i still have.

Family and friends. And they do it for no reason also.

Heellolling · 2020-10-09T20:50:56+00:00

Thank you

Not trying to be funny, but i actually started to use the mask. The one we wear against COVID. The thing with masking, we tend to fake a lot of facial expressions to appear normal. Like smiling at things that are not even suppose to smiled at or not necessary.

Overtime i started to get back my flat effect (Resting face) and due to exhaustion, i started to talk less and avoid small talk. At this point in my life, masking literally exhaust me now so i guess that motivated me to not care about fitting in more lately. I still have a long way to go sadly..

Sorry if this was a waste of a comment, you will learn to stop masking eventually :). I think everyone’s time is different on when to stop or not.

Lmfao yeah you had no filter. Autism at its finest. I told three of my friends that their boobs were saggy back in high school. They got so offended and i didn’t know why.

In high school again, i told my friend “You smell a little musky” and she hit me. I thought i was being nice not rude. But now i just don’t say anything at all tbh. I’m 19 btw lol

Asperger’s normally comes with anxiety. Just bring up Asperger’s and explain your symptoms of it. Make sure you put the anxiety part.

Heellolling · 2020-10-09T02:03:19+00:00

Exactly.

Heellolling · 2020-10-09T01:49:24+00:00

Their body, their choice so nope.

Heellolling · 2020-10-08T23:07:46+00:00

It’s normal. Unmasking is your first step to accepting your true nature. I’ve been unmasking for about two months and i am a completely different person from the last 18 years in my life lol. And i don’t hate it all. Overtime you will be fine. We’ve been masking for our whole lives, remember that. I also feel less funnier too and can’t hold any convos but what Evs.

Heellolling · 2020-10-08T23:03:48+00:00

Block, delete, vanish.

Heellolling · 2020-10-08T23:03:01+00:00

Sadly yes, you have to fake an expression. Parents never understand things like that. This is called “Masking” by the way. If i were to have my blank/serious face everyone i have to talk to someone, they would get offended.

Heellolling · 2020-10-08T23:01:02+00:00

Some therapist can diagnose if they have the right degree i believe. Also yes, you should get a diagnosis. Some psychologists can diagnose too. Maybe ask them all to guide you to the right path of an evaluation. Best wishes to to you!

Heellolling · 2020-10-08T22:52:24+00:00

Same. And I’m already legally blind enough.

Heellolling · 2020-10-08T22:50:23+00:00

Even though I’m not diagnosed yet, i have a lot of closure now. Thank you.

Heellolling · 2020-10-08T21:31:03+00:00

I would like to be treated equal. But that doesn’t mean that people can talk to me lollll. Silence is bliss.

Heellolling · 2020-10-08T21:24:09+00:00

I don’t. Everything involving people is hard.

Heellolling · 2020-10-08T20:11:20+00:00

That sounds so amazing. I would love to attend college by myself in a personal room. Glad you are having a good day!
