Pretty much everything is going wrong in my life. I'm smart and have potential but can't use that potential. Doing even the small tasks feels like pain. Because my brain is running low on and happiness and motivation. Dont know how to end this rut. I need to change, i cant be running in circles anymore.

I am so sorry you're feeling this way. I hope it gets better :heart:

Have you considered that you might be dealing with a case of autistic burnout? It can completely devastate your life, and makes you feel like you're running in circles on empty. A lot of us here have experienced it, me included, and it feels a lot like how you're describing. It takes a long time to recover from, but the good news is that it does get better...so long as you stop draining yourself and give yourself time to recover. Please be gentle with yourself. You're smart, you have potential, and you deserve to rest.
