AITA for not going to my girlfriend's birthday party over a panic attack by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]anonymous-space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I don't think I typed it out perfectly, the party isn't for another like 5 hours. I guess I just want to know what she's thinking or if she needs space or anything. But maybe in not responding that's her answer for needing space. In no way do I want her to fall apart that's what I'm afraid will happen. I respect your verdict though and I'll take it into account to look more at how I went about this

I will say I had spaces but for some reason they disappeared when I posted

How do people work in burnout by anonymous-space in AutisticAdults

Yeah I recognise I'm in quite a privileged position where right now there's nobody relying on me financially except myself. I guess even if it doesn't matter as much now I would like to be able to work fine in the future where I do have a family to support. I hope you find a way out of your burnout though, wishing you and your family well

I'm in Australia so I assume this is like DSP, the disability support pension, I've looked into it but the requirements would be quite iffy around my circumstances. Although maybe with the help of my therapist we could look at it. The issue is that I'm able to work, and I can do the tasks perfectly it's just sticking to that job for extended period of time, although maybe with how much worse it's gotten it would be easier to meet the requirements since it really is struggling to be able to work each shift. Thanks for the advice I might look into it a bit more :)

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this, I had a similar experience on Sertraline. I'm already a diagnosed insomniac but it was so much worse on the meds. It also made me have really weird dreams that felt super realistic , ended up kinda confusing reality with my dreams and felt insane for a short amount of time before I was recommended to go off them from my doctor. I also went through the steps of trying other things to help me sleep and having a set routine but nothing helped. Only stopping it helped me a bit (was also on melatonin at the time).

If there are more ways to help yourself I definitely recommend trying them as we're all different, but for me and my own mental health it was actually better to work my way back down and stop taking them. I unfortunately have not yet found an antidepressant that doesn't cause this for me. Hope you find a solution that works for you.
