Looking for artists to participate in the next art melts ice artist market at Bluestocking! Please note that artists are donating their full sales to anti organizations (lighthouse and the lakeshore rapid response), so you will not be making money but rather fundraising. Feel free to message me for any more info and if anyone is interested in donating their time that would also be an option. Thanks!
I’m 29F recently diagnosed adhd and suspected autism and am waiting to get into testing. I have gone through many burn out cycles in my life and never knew what is was just thought I sucked at life and was lazy/not good enough.
This last month or so I’ve fallen into the biggest baddest burnout I’ve experienced and I think it was just compounding from the numerous times I’ve burnt out and “pulled myself up by my bootstraps” best i could. This time that’s not even possible. I can’t keep up with regular life things. I only work a few times a week and that has gotten very hard to force myself to do and everything outside of that has fallen to the wayside.
How do you recover and prevent burn out? I feel like I keep seeing people saying things like focus on hobbies, eat healthy, etc and i just can’t get myself to even do that. I wake up and stay in a fight or flight like state most of the day and do nothing. I eat horribly because i can’t get myself to make meals, I can’t socialize like I used to, and I don’t feel comfortable moving my body like I usually do.
Would love to know if this is anyone else’s experience? What has helped?
Free flower shop is up! Also some free hyacinth plants if anyone wants them. Located on Burke Ave, the side street where EVCC/old north side family video is.
Has anyone been to the Mesick mushroom festival? What is it like? It’s about 2.5 hours from where I live so trying to decide if it’s worth making the drive.
