I feel like nobody understands the energy thing with me
When I interact with people, it takes a lot of mental energy. And when that mental energy gets depleted, it hits pretty hard. I get headaches, I get forgetful, I can't think straight. Even basic tasks are a struggle. I don't shave as often, I don't clean my apartment. I get extremely irritable and angry and do my best to stifle it. I stumble over my words and talk really slowly, and I can't track other people's emotions as well.
I spent like all of high school and college in a daze, just trying to keep my head above water while working with like half my normal IQ. Between my parents and my classmates, keeping decent energy levels was just not on the table. The first 2 years after graduation were some of the best in my life because my energy levels were much higher. But then this past year, with my friend living with me, has taken me all the way back, and I have fully slipped back into old habits.
I am not sure what is wrong with me. I would find out if I could.
