Is it “normal” to feel deeply unsatisfied/wrong if plans didn’t work out like you wanted / if I haven’t gotten to have decompression time? Can anyone else related to this feeling or am I just being dumb?🧵

I had a busy weekend and didn’t really get decompress after the work week ended. I planned on playing the new deltarune chapters (video game) but didn’t have much time to, and now another work week has started. I don’t hate my job at all, at times I even enjoy it, but I’ve found myself feeling burnt and not wanting to go in because I need more “me” time. (And I’ve also become more complain-y)

Literally this morning my gf called me and cancelled our plans and i had a panic attack 💔 its something i need to work on but i have a really hard time with sudden plan changes when i have based my emotional regulation on expecting plans to go through

this is incredibly normal, even textbook definition level, for autism

i was supposed to go to a party with my friend who was also my roommate. i accidentally slept thru the whole thing and she didn’t bother to wake me up she just left cus. I woke up and cried for an hour bc I didn’t get to go to the party i wasn’t even sure i wanted to go to anyways but I had planned for it all day 😭 it is a big let down when we don’t get the dopamine hit we were winding up for a while. it makes you crash and it’s completely valid

Not having decompression time will kill me, even if all of the activities are things I love to do in places I love to be with people I love to see. I need my lay-down-stare-at-the-ceiling time or I will explode

Thank you I’m so glad someone else understands. If you don’t mind me asking: What form of neurodivergence do you have? I believe I’m higher functioning autistic but I’m not diagnosed officially.

Thank you, I’m just trying to understand what I’ve got and how my mind works. I’m scared to actually get a diagnosis on what I have but we’ll see
