Autism and Fatigue

As I write this now, I am rather fatigued, not only did insomnia strike me last night but depression and after two long days of being social.


This is rather situational since anything can harm sleep or even health. So alongside with hyperthyroidism I am constantly fatigued, there are only a hand full of days where I am not.


There used to be activities I used to like doing but these days I just don't have the energy, but that could be me getting older. But the short time before I came down with hyperthyroidism and after I was diagnosed with autism, there were a few days where I had no energy.


It could have been long social days out, could be that depression has ruined me that day or just a bad day.


I have friends and family who know of the current issues I am going through, and they all support me in their own way. But there are days where I feel like a hermit due to being fatigued and hardly venturing out. And due to the lockdown, I was used to staying in and now it's kind of hard to break this habit of staying inside.



Though I will admit there was a day last week where I went to a short class, even though I hardly had any sleep and fatigued I did enjoy myself, probably because I masked those feelings away while I was there. But I will admit I had a good day out and put me in a rather rare, good mood for the rest of the day.
