my experience hasn't been that kind of intense, but the burnout stuff does make sense to me, and i've been struggling with just being a human being a lot; i'm hyperaware, for sure, and the difficulties i've had socializing is still an issue i'm trying to unpack.
The socializing takes a toll still, it is very tiring to me, but it has become better too. I am more in tune with myself and the amount of hyperawareness and anxiety doesn't make me wonder wth is going on anymore. It had never felt proportional to a specific thing, always looming.
Have struggled with being a human being too, not feeling like I "belonged" anywhere, a lot of discomfort, and how to make money (on writing). I can do so many complicated internal things well (including storytelling), but financials and some other stuff just don't fit in my brain somehow.
also so much overwhelmingness.
