I'm off call this morning. It's been a long week.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post office your own.

I've discovered I have very little to say and other ppl have been carrying the conversations. No clue if it's related to the 'tism, but feels like burnout, so πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚

Struggling. I find it frustrating at how long it takes me to accomplish anything... hours for cooking anything, even simple meals. Unable to accurately search for answers from search engines, spending hours trying to do something simple. Literally overheating because my brain can't function anymore.

Great, now I will have disco He-Man stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
