Comic Scripts for Next Week
Added 2020-12-09 17:50:57 +0000 UTCI wrote these early hehe but I really needed to write something about the communication struggles I'm experiencing right now. I've always struggled with DMs and emails (both professional and casual) but lately it feels so much harder. I think it's because I've been going through autistic burnout since August and Everything is just kind of harder right now but hoo boy is this my eternal struggle.
Today and yesterday I managed to reply to quite a significant number of emails and DMs and that feels good but it has been a Struggle for sure and I still have a few to go. It's weird because like, the main feeling I face with them is fear but I can't really pinpoint why.
Literally every single person in my inbox is incredibly kind, patient and understanding. There's really nothing for me to be scared of... and yet, the feeling doesn't go away and it doesn't get easier.
Learning this is a common experience for neurodivergent people has been like, super eye opening and kind of validating for me. It's something that I've always known I couldn't just write off as general anxiety; I've always felt that somehow this specific issue ran Deeper within me and finally having an answer for that is like ohhhhhhhhhh ok, that makes sense!!!
I'm really looking forward to having some quality rest over the holidays and hopefully in the new year, I won't feel so stuck. I just need to do all the things I need to do first, and then I know that it'll feel easier.
