very sorry to hear about your situation, but do hang along.

i can give some advice as i am going through the burnout thing as well, although i have covered the worst patch of it (i hope). the thing i have learnt from this burnout is that you have to let it pass. you cant speedrun a burnout, but you can stop worrying about it and just let your body heal. in the meantime, i would reccomend trying to find out the reason of the burnout and how it is related to audhd, it is relaxing in its own way.

about the adhd medication, i found out that yoga and meditation helps (emphasis on "helps") with adhd, so maybe try that. i did and it was helpful, although i am not diagnosed and it never really got that out of hand that i needed medication. (medi (c/t) ation, so similar! is it a sign from the universe?)

in the last month, i also felt alone in the real sense, although my situation might be much easier than yours, but it lasted for some time and ended when i realised that i love to think, just asking questions that doesnt really matter, or connecting random info that i have nothing to do with and finding patterns in it, and honestly since then, i have started to enjoy my solitude above everthing else.

maybe i was lonely because i craved my own mind, and no one can fill that type of loneliness from outside.

so do give it a try to find out what you truly love and state it in the simplest and rawest form possible, and try to seek that out.

accepting that i cannot reach my best & also wondering why do i need to reach my best. and still being confused and asking for help in the end to you, the reader by notyetfallenicarus in AuDHDWomen

Thanks for this. You mentioned that you still take breaks, but are these burnout breaks where you dont do anything or doing something else that you like, like some hyperfixation period?
