For Pete's Sake!<p>So, I'm on annual leave today. Wife is away with the W.I. all day so I'm at a loose end.</p><p>I get up early. Get my camera and my 28mm Prime "pancake" lens, pop my adjustable neutral density filter into my bag and head off into London for a day of candid street photography. </p><p>In London for all of 2 hours .. didn't take ONE SINGLE PHOTO.. didn't even take camera out of my bag.</p><p>Had a crisis of confidence. Felt really self conscious. The crowds were oppressive, the noise unbearable. Had a disappointing coffee in acafé.. and by "had" I mean I purchased and took one look at it and left it untouched and walked out.</p><p>Just back home now. Nothing but a stress headache and sore feet to show for my "fun day out" :'(</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Overwhelm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Overwhelm</span></a></p>

The exhaustion can last hours or days for me and flare a range of health stuff... Headaches, vertigo, psoriasis, IBS, joint pain etc. </p><p>It's not a matter of becoming shutdown or having a meltdown and then voila it's gone and all is fine again.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span></p>
Doggle<p>I have a simple small task to do today but it relates to money and family and so this <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AutisticOver50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticOver50</span></a> sixty something is maxing out the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anxiety</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/overwhelm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>overwhelm</span></a> and this will continue until even after the task is done as I await the response, even though it will probably be fine. </p><p>My anxiety is about the *prospect* of things, that might go badly (in ways that wouldn't bother most people), even if I'm able to see they will almost certainly not go badly. 🤦‍♂️ </p><p>That's <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> 😱</p>
