Close to burnout - how to resolve?

I don’t think there are any deficiencies diet wise.

I work a 9-5 and I have been non stop since spring bank holiday, I guess. I’m just really, really tired of engaging my brain socially to interact with other folk. I find socialising hard as it is- it doesn’t come naturally to me but it’s harder still when I’ve not had much time to rest and recoup. I long for a bit of downtime but it’s one thing after another abd I’m not getting any anytime soon. I think I am autistic and considering getting a referral to diagnosis, as I think I drain more easily in situations where NT people may not

On an evening in the tiny slice of free time I get I want to read my book but instead I just scroll on here and other social media’s which can’t be healthy. I often find myself glazed over or staring into space when DH gets home, I am interested in him and his day but just don’t have the headspace for any more info

Does it sound close to burnout and how can I mitigate that? Thanks xx

It's not burnout - I've seen that happen a few times and its not nice.

It sounds like you need a few other interests outside work - if you are finishing work at 5 then there is still several hours of daylight at this time of year. Maybe something you and your husband can do together.

Might be worth speaking to your GP as well because there could be medical reason why you feel like this
