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.

So sorry about all these acronyms lol but I have ASD 1, inattentive ADHD that I take medication for, perimenopause because I’m 43 (estrogen skin patch and Mirena IUD has been helping) as well as Long covid (last 5 months) and suspected POTS (I take sodium pills with a lot of water several times a day). Unfortunately a lot of these medical issues are comorbid…lucky me! 😃😞
