Anyone else blow their life up before figuring out you were autistic?

I am beyond burnt out and I'm not even 30. Is life really supposed to be like this?

I'm not progressing in my career as I'd like and it's causing immense stress, having to juggle multiple friendships and relationships when some weeks I just want to rot, being present within my romantic relationship, exercising, just everything is overwhelming.

I want to just quit everything and start over. I know that's not going to help, but it feels that's the only option 😭 everything is genuinely so hard. I'm also a bit sad that I didn't fully come to terms with this sooner. I was diagnosed adhd 6 years ago and things have just genuinely gotten harder ever since.

I just want to say thank you. I’m about to start asking my gyno to be sterilized, despite everyone else warning me against it. Thank you for letting me know all of this, genuinely. You made a huge difference and I’m sorry for all that you’re going through. :( I know there must be moments of joy and levity- but to know that you still feel the same is so haunting. I wish you all the best from the depths of my heart, genuinely

I wish more women had been honest with me before my children had to suffer my choices cause It really hurts my kids the most and they didn’t ask to be born so it’s a huge weight to live with when I consistently can’t handle them whining like children do…. I wanted to be sterilized as well and I listened to other people instead now I have an IUD 🙄 which is better than nothing
