Yesterday a health condition I have, that& #39;s already taking years off my life expectancy - had a serious setback.

I& #39;m back at day 1 and desperately hoping it was a blip. I& #39;ve had blips before.

It took me off guard, but I& #39;m not surprised. I& #39;m in #AutisticBurnout, #depressed ++
And in a lot of mental distress.

The global pandemic was declared on my 51st bday.

Weeks later, Canada& #39;s largest ever mass murder happened and a family member was directly effected.

I& #39;ve only gotten to sleep 3 times before daylight since.

After the murders my mom& #39;s beloved ++
Dog got suddenly very ill and had to be put down.

She had to do that all alone. No one to hug her.

Then a few weeks after that her partner has a heart attack and needs to rushed into surgery. Again, they had to do that w/o seeing each other.

Then my father in law had a ++
Heart attack and needed to be air lifted to the hospital for emergency surgery.

The same weekend my sister and her husband were on emergency evacuation watch in BC.

I thought I was going to just die from stress that weekend.

I realised not that long ago that #AutisticBurnout +
was back, or maybe never left.

All of this, and more because there& #39;s more but this thread is already long enough has equalled what happened yesterday with the blip I& #39;ve had.

My #mentalhealth had tipped my physical health.

So back to day 1.

I& #39;ve been back to day 1 many times +
over the past 8 yrs. I had a good run this time. But now I& #39;m here and forced to make significant changes so I don& #39;t die.

I may leave social media for a while. I don& #39;t know the route back yet but I know I need out of the desperate space I& #39;m in.
