i’m coming to the realization that just existing takes too much energy for me, and until i can figure out how to do it without burning out i can’t be in a relationship :( i like the idea of one but in practice i suck at being a gf

Find someone who understands that (which takes not looking, that’s when you end up finding the best ones) my bf knows I’m autistic and can’t always do everything I want to, he completely understands and has endless patience and empathy for me. People like that do exist and I believe you’ll find someone who doesn’t drain you and who understands when you are “out of spoons” :) we’ve been together 4 years and are getting married soon ❤️

i end every day out of spoons just trying to eat and sleep and take care of hygiene. i never seem to have any extra left over, and to be a good partner i have to be able to dedicate some spoons to communication and make them feel supported and loved. digital communication takes so many spoons and in person is hard for other reasons :( if the personal stuff was easier then maybe but rn it just can’t work
