levampyreDear fellow autistic or monotropic peers, I need your advice. I struggle with taking "me time", esp. in stressfull tides. How do you do it? How are you able to relax when you know you have unfinished business? How do you not feel guilty (?) thinking about all the chores you didn't do today? How do you drop tasks you or your loved ones depend on? And how do you give away responsibility, when it means that you also lose control over how things are done? @actuallyautistic #autism #monotropism
zweifeln@levampyre @actuallyautistic the only way it actually works for me is if I don't do it for myself - but for someone else.
Have someone I trust and respect order me to take me-time - and get mad at me if I don't.
I'm not sure if that's really a healthy approach but so far that's the only way I figured for myself how to manage it.
In a previous partnership it worked really well in both ways.
