I work in the NHS and feel totally burnt out, as a lot of NHS staff do. I received my ASD diagnosis this year, and ADHD diagnosis last year. I'm 6 years into the job after uni, having worked across a few areas, and I've felt burnout on most of my working days. The burnout is real - it affects my energy levels at home and therefore my social life. My sleep is poor, since graduating, and that contributes to the fatigue I feel. So any small increase in activity seems to knock me into serious fatigue where I have to take time off work (I'm off work today for this reason).

I've had enough of living this way (I have no suicidal ideation, in case you're worried). I just feel lost and trapped. I worry that as I get older (I'm early 30s), I won't be able to manage my job, which involves seeing 8-10 patients daily who are all in pain, which drains the hell out of me. I love the clinical and mechanical side to my job, but the social side is what drains me.

I am awaiting workplace adjustments via occupational health, and I hope they help, but I just wonder if I'd be better off not just not working with people in order to save my energy. But I have no idea what I would do. I feel stuck and a bit alone. I just want to thrive as best as I can really.

I don't expect concrete answers, I know I'm at the beginning of a journey to living better since my recent diagnosis. But just want to feel heard. I am awaiting 1:1 support from a local autism charity. I don't know anybody else with ASD (to my knowledge). Thanks for reading. Any tips and insights are appreciated.

I am an outpatient physiotherapist diagnosed with autism & ADHD, and and struggling significantly with burnout. I am considering alternative career choices, and am drawn to the possibility of working as a neurodiversity assessment practitioner I.e., working as part of the MDT to help inform diagnosis for the main assessor (particularly for autism). I suspect that this would be less overwhelming than my current job but open to your insights My questions are:

1. is it possible for a physio to do this job?
2. would this role be less overwhelming and more sustainable than my current job?
3. how do I become one? I need Ados training and experience - how do I get experience in this field as most companies want this before applying? I am training to work with paediatric pts in MSK which may help.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone know if there is a bike trail between lydiard park interior and lydiard millicent? Or do I need to take Tewkesbury way?

I work in MSK outpatients in the NHS in the UK and feeling pretty burnt out by high number of patients and general overwhelm.

We are thinking about moving to NZ but I wonder if I'll just encounter the same issue there. I've heard burnout is big in public but wonder about private msk.

Any thoughts/shared experiences would be awesome. Thanks
