I realized I've never posted art of my OC's before

The characters on the left are the main characters on my anthology series Vermillion Pond

And the doggo on the Right is Milo and their from a Horror short I'm writing called Running on Fumes.

Apparently I wrote 450 words on my phone this morning. I'll take it.

#still not on the fic i supposedly want to finish by the end of the month #woof #anyway #shut up fraddit #I honestly don't know how I even did it #Because my brain is fucking fried #I've been going full bore on a redesign for my personal house project #Like a week of 12 hour days #And now I've hit a wall and I've got nothing left #Running on fumes #And like I know I need to rest and recharge #But I'm so bored #But also my brain is too melty to do anything remotely stimulating #So I'm just bopping around like a zombie #Or a dvd player screen saver

#we are not allowed to leave boxes out like that #both for accessibility reasons and because it looks bad #the mit had 4 hours last night to put out the halloween product #4 hours!!!!! #and they had already made all the footprints (like the wooden slabs + spaces for potted/bottled stuff) while we were open #this is #so frustrating #ive been runninf ragged all day #running on fumes #i wanna break down but #as my manager told me we can't have human moments every week #(/s) #(mit agreed that's a really ableist thing to say to someone with chronic illnesses and severe mental illness tho so swag) #i'm so upset and having such a bad day

You know the ADHD thing where you don't eat because you only have the focus and energy to do stuffy before you eat.

That's because when you dont eat, "orexin levels in the brain spike, keeping you awake increasing mental energy due to, among other things, increased dopamine levels in the brain"

ADHD is a dopamine deficiency disorder. We feel more motivated because we don't eat because our brains give us a shot of dopamine to tell us to eat food, and we say lol no ❤️.

This is also true for less sleep, "This stress opens up a surge in hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These are pumped into you to keep you more on edge, awake, and alert."

So basically, if you find yourself not eating right away or not sleeping much and still feeling motivated and energetic, maybe even more so than usual. Then you are running on adrenaline, cortisol, and dopamine, and you can and will burn yourself out. Whether that is into the soft pillows of your bed for a nice nap or straight into a brick wall driving 70 mph, is up to you.

Running on 4 hours of sleep phases of the day feel like

Morning: I am dead. I cannot stay awake. Someone take me back to my grave so I can wallow and die slowly

Afternoon: I feel loopy and not all there but like I mean I'm awake

Evening: Sleep? No, no I will never sleep. I have never been more awake in my LIFE what are you TALKING about who needs SLEEP

Night: if i do not sleep in the next five minutes I will actually die

#ramble post #randy rambles #sleep #running on fumes #listen i was up until late turning in a (late) assignment #and then i also got up early to finish the assignment because i was like it is 5 am. i do not have the strength to keep my eyes open #currently am in the middle of afternoon and evening phases

On Austitic Burnout

Autistic burnout means there's no energy left even to mask minorly (or effectively) so autistic traits show more. No more facial expressions, no tolerance, pain and fatigue and extra meltdowns.

Autistic burnout is one of the most complex, fascinating and deadly syndromes. It's not talked about by doctors or psychiatrists, not well known by outsiders. Only Autistic adults are talking about it and it is so intense it's debilitating.

Like right now I can do maybe 1.5 things at a time, or 1 a day. Or 1 every few days. I can do one outside activity a day, and that 1 needs to be at least 3 days away from the next.

It means even a little sleep deprivation and I am tanked with no executive function, spiraling mood etc. It's truly debilitating. I lose function, lose the ability to speak.

Stress and demands over time caused it and so did overstimulating environments and work repeatedly. The biggest contributor is living in a space where you are masking 24/7 i.e. continuously putting up with things that are stressful to your nervous system and not being able to say anything about it or make it stop or leave the circumstance (which is obviously stress) and then not being able to regulate in the way you need or appear as you really are.

I can't walk around the house like an elephant and make noises or process out loud. I can't retreat because the room is on the common space. I have to mentalise every move because if I close the door when someone is sitting right there am I shutting them out? Like yes. I am. But I hate that there's a choice about the matter rather than a neatly tucked away room where IN ALL HONESTY I would spend all day.

I don't want to talk. I don't have energy to talk. So I've been shutting the door more and being alone more (because I need to) and I need way more honestly!!!

Autistic burnout is the thing my dad calls me lazy and inflexible about when it is a REAL and documented occurrence- no ability to care, move, force myself, no energy, more meltdowns, more chronic pain, no ability to engage.

Basically it's so cruel of my family (no surprise there) for the last few years to deny that it is even real and happening to me. But their cruelty is ignorant. Most people don't know.

I've been delving more into it recently not just in hundreds of accounts in autistic groups but some infographics. I'm in severe burnout I can't push harder or do more, I am doing everything possible. Being away from my parents has helped me heal a little in without daily guilt and abuse but this environment is stress + masking + sensory overload which equals more social hangovers and mini burnout which digs me into the underlying social, emotional, psychological and overall burnout (which is passion based, career based me).

So I am just a puddle of recurring breakdowns, no functioning, or ability to hold or keep a job. It's criminal that we are left alone to live like this in society!!! I have no energy to damn fix it otherwise I would run for parliament or start a business or a community or a damn inclusive app or workplace. So burnt-out and so pissed! Fab combo.
