Aspie Can Make You More Tired

Post Reply New Topic

I've been tired since I was born. It's just worse now that I'm older and have major depressive disorder in addition to joint pain and autoimmune problems.

As a kid I always looked at the other kids zooming around on the playground and wondered where they got all that energy. It was like they ran on rocket fuel and I ran on low octane. So they chased after each other like screaming mimis while I read books.

As mental illnesses have piled up and my joints have degenerated it's gotten very difficult even to do things that I enjoy. That in and of itself is depressing.

I also have badly disordered sleep and that plays havoc on all facets of life. I never reach the deepest, most restorative level of sleep. Instead I have long, vivid, Technicolor lucid dreams and nightmares that are as real as waking life and are remembered for months, even years. Then I wake up exhausted from dreaming and paralyzed because I go straight from dream to waking state and the safety mechanism that keeps your body from acting out dreams is still engaged. It takes a while to be able to move. By then it's about time for a nap.

As previous posters wrote, you could be depressed

But many diseases cause fatigue

Not just depression


Some people just have more energy than others

I used to tell my mom that I cannot do stuff like I used to, she told me something about my Cerebral Pasly, I think something wrong because of my Cerebral Pasly, alot of people with Cerebral Pasly has alot of energy & some don’t. Right now, I’m awake, but I’m physically tired, I cannot put my throw away, I have some trash in my kitchen sink & trash bags on the floor.

Come on, Kitty.

You just have to get rid of the garbage.

Push yourself.

I know how you feel, though. I get lazy sometimes. And tired.

People with Asperger's are often anxious.

People with Asperger's sometimes have difficulty sleeping.

It doesn't mean that the Asperger's causes either anxiety or difficulty sleeping.

Your statement is correct


But after all that social rejection, it is hard not to be depressed


But other autistics might be different from me


And correlation versus causation


Sensory overload makes me anxious

But not all autistics get sensory overload

So can

Just saying.

For a long time, I have noticed that I am much less energetic than precious lil "people"

The wrestling coach went out for dinner, at 9 pm , with wrestlers,. He said he had to wake up 5.


The older I get the weaker I get


My diet is not great, but precious lil "people" do not eat great diets either

And they are like the Energizer Bunny

10 hours is a lot. Maybe you are oversleeping. If this sleepiness happens often or has been going on for a long time, consider seeing a doctor (who might send you for a sleep study). You might have sleep apnea or some other disorder.

Rejected from blood donation

Anemic

Iron, protein, calcium


When I told the doctor I was exhausted, just hemoglobin and thyroid

The doctors are too lazy to do anything else



And I am only 36 years old right now


Energy level rapidly plummeted since 13


It's only getting much worse



Graceful degradation

I did a double blood donation with an Axyl Machine.

Fatigued about a week after.

Gave a lot of blood

Too tired now

10.5 g per deciliter a couple of times

Even with sufficient sleep, exhausted all day long


Could not imagine full time job

I find that certain people tire me out. I'm also still recovering from surgery. I also don't always eat the right foods. I also have depression and anxiety. I also have Gender Dysphoria. I feel that I'm playing Russian Roulette every time I walk out the front door of my apartment building. People are unpredictable. I've just started leaving Schultz (my helmet) at home part of the time two months ago yesterday, on the birthday of Mick Avory of The Kinks. I know to look the other way now if a guy looks at me in a way that creeps me out. It works as good as the helmet.

Yes, having to pretend you enjoy being around people and are actually interested in their nonsense is very tiring. It's like being an actor, except you don't get paid, you can't take time off for vacations or because you're sick, and you have to be at your job 24-7.

Way too often I am in the minority and I correctly feel like I can't change something or someone that is getting on my nerves

Homophobic precious lil "people", "be true to yourself". Idiots outnumbered and overpowered me



Frustrated and annoyed


A long time ago exhausted all the options


Even everyday noise startles, scares, annoys, bothers me


Lil dips**ts keep misunderstanding me


A psychologist told me that if you have a situation , think of what you want, and how to get there

The statement is correct, but I am paranoid personality disorders. Concerned. Worried. Intimidated. Scared. That the situation could get worse if I try and fail, to fix it




For example, some ass hole at REI had the nerve to tell me that I "stole" something. On a previous occasion . And I told him, No that is wrong . And he said , ok . Which is not sufficient or an apology. Wrongful accusations is a really big deal in a court of law . But lawyers $,600 hour and lawsuit take 2 years. He correctly assumed that I don't have the $$ to deal with a civil lawsuit. However I also don't have the energy either



For example someone was barking "fa***t" and "b***h" at me. If I corrected them they might shoot me with a gun



Seriously I feel so overwhelmed and unprepared


Idiots are not as predictable as they appear to be


Although pattern recognition



Idiots have more friends, energy, $$$ than me



It does not matter, functionally, if they are legally or morally wrong



It's a competition that they will always win, because they have more resources


f**k homophobic ass holes


They make me uptight and exhausted









f**k mister redelings


f**k Jeanne Courtney



They act like they have never done anything wrong before and "the meaning of life is helping people!"



Mussolini was helping the Gestapo


Be more specific


Not all "helping people" is purple heart award


Not all "hurting people" is Mandated Reporter


Dark side


Long arm of the law


Oversimplified
