Lol. Going through a similar thing. Socialising too much can make me run down too. It sounds like youre also a bit unwell though, which is something that is more likely to happen when youre over extending.

Nights have just started getting longer here and days colder, so im feeling down which could be the light, and a little sick which could be the cold, but I also have to keep reminding myself I am on this training course on wednesdays which isnt training per se but a group of 35 of us having structured discussions about topics in our fields for 8 hours under the guidance of a ‘coach’, who really teaches us nothing at all - we are teaching each other which is a trend in my field at the moment and it irks the hell out of me. Participation is expected and I need to keep imagining what optimistic dribble my sunny, positive boss would say in this situation and then say it myself in order to look like im engaging and not give myself away as nuerodivergent and a bit cynical 😆

Its good youre aware of it possibly being due to your autism, make sure you rest up. My course is until february, its only one day a week but its right in the middle of the week and it really leaves me feeling shit, exhausted and a bit stressed, so im not punishing myself for feeling like I need to withdraw from other social activities for a little while to recover.

I got forced into getting rid of loads of stuff when I ended up homeless and sofa surfing for a while. When I got my own place again I really like not having heaps of junk ill never use and have tried to keep my home minimal since. Obviously I have stuff, but I try to really think about what I 1) buy, do I really need or want it, and 2) keep.

Congrats on the job, sounds fun!
