Confused About Nonverbal Days
Post Body

I have Autism, ADHD and complex PTSD. Normally, its hard for an outside observer to tell, I'm fairly asymptomatic unless you know what to look for and the issues I do have tend to be internal and I can usually deal with with a few little lifestyle changes and careful adjustments. I hesitate to use the word, as I suspect it might be considered a bit rude, but Ive been told I'm especially good at masking. I'm not smug about that to be clear, but it helps to sort of establish a baseline.

Lately, I've had rare days where I wake up and talking is exhausting and scary, I can't put my thoughts together well and I feel emotionally spent and worn ragged at the end of a normal conversation. I don't know whats going on, or what to do about it, and its scaring me. I've been hiding in my room all day because I don't want my roommates to have to deal with me when I'm like this. Does anyone have experience with this, or resources they can point me to? I don't like not understanding myself.

I get like this. I live with my partner and we’ve come up with a communication system for when I can’t communicate. It took me a really long time to learn how to cope with nonverbal days. I wish you the best
