Burn out

I'm just feeling a lot of burn out. I'm a stay at home mom with BPD. My kids are both on the spectrum and I'm finding it hard to stay afloat some days. My husband works but it only covers bills, so we live paycheck to paycheck. I want to take my kids places but everything is so expensive. I'm just drained. This is my first post. Thanks for listening ❤️

My inbox is absolutely open to ya if you need someone who gets it! 🫶🏼🫂 I’m autistic myself & have bpd along with some other stuff.

I don't have great advice, but I'm a sahm mom with adhd, and an autistic kid. I know things could be worse, but there are lots of struggles I go through. We moved a year ago away from all of my support. So I get you. If you need a place to vent and just get it all out, I'm here

@Parker 又 I think I will reach out, thank you! I'm waiting for my autism diagnosis results.

@Ashley I appreciate it! I have little support and it's so hard. I'll probably reach out!

Often times in females bpd is the diagnosis thrown on us when it should’ve been autism from the jump! I had my bpd diagnosis long before my official autism one, and I still resonate with both diagnosis, some people feel their autism diagnosis explains the behaviors labeled as bpd but a lot of mine overlap while stemming from separate places yanno?

@Parker 又 I feel like there's so much overlap as well, I agree with everything you said. I definitely resonate more with autism than BPD.

which is so fair, my biggest advice is even without a diagnosis on paper, do what you can to accommodate yourself (: you know yourself better than any neuropsychologist you’ll meet 1-6 times

For the first year of my son’s life I forgot I even owned headphones. They’ve been sanity saving

@Parker 又 I'm in therapy and have been definitely working on accommodating instead of just masking through it. I still struggle but it's getting better. I did send a message but idk how this app works yet 🤣

lol I’ll take a peak for it sometimes dms on here are so weird
