Burnout?

So for the past few months I've been feeling tired. A lot. I've been feeling empty, devoid of any energy to do much of anything really.

I certainly haven't had the energy or the spoons to sit and write a blog post, or even post much to social media for that matter, where it's been mostly reposts and short texts on quoted posts.

So I think I've come to the conclusion that I'm feeling a bit of burnout. What I don't know is if it's just regular burnout or autistic burnout. It seems to be since my diagnosis earlier this year that I've been in this funk or rut, and I can't seem to shake it off.

I think I need a week or two off of work, and just be able to switch my brain off and recuperate. Work's been hectic for the past month or two, and busier than it's ever been.

On top of that, my mother is having issues at her care home, which I've had to take time off to have a meeting with her social worker next week. I also need to sort out Enduring Power of Attorney in order to sort her finances and speak to her bank etc.

And on top of that, my final module for my degree, the project module, has begun, and I've not had much of the energy required to do anything regarding it. As I write this, my first assignment, a 2000 word project initiation document is due to be submitted in 5 days, and I've done precisely nothing about it. I guess that's a rush job at the weekend then. It's not too important though, as it's only worth a measly 5% of my overall score for the module.

But yeah, I've just been feeling flat, empty and don't have the energy to do much.

It could even be depression, I don't know, but I'm looking at taking a week off next month, and hoping I can get on top of this then.

In the meantime, I'll try and get back into the blogging habit again at least, because I've not written much of anything to do with Wow for example for a while now, so there's updates there to be related.

I'd also like to change the overall theme for the website, and give it a simpler, more small web appearance, and forgo the Featured Images on posts. I'm still looking for a perfect theme, ideally with a dark mode, so that may change also.

Anyway, hope you're all keeping well and life is treating you kindly in these increasingly trying times.
