I had been working really hard to plan my medical leave but whoops I couldn’t stop crying last night so I decided I probably shouldn’t go to work today so I guess it’s starting early.
I have been working with an Occupational Therapist to help plan accommodations for my return, but other than that…what do I do lol?
I would very much like to speed run 100% this thing and while I know it’s not possible I’m probably going to try anyways 🤷♀️
If you’ve been on leave for autistic burnout I’d love to hear:
- What did you do with your time off?
- How did you know you were better?
- What do you wish someone told you about it?
Appreciate any replies, thanks!
I love/hate how all the top comments are kinda like “I took a long break and focused on my self.”
I have kids and a spouse. I’ve the most earning potential. There is no break for me.
I hate that for you.
I have very generous short term disability coverage at work, which is the only reason I am able to even think about this.
I get that and have been there. The worst kind of burnout will still force you down and out irrespective of your priorities and obligations. Take care of your self.
