Reasons Why I Felt So Shit At College

  1. I wasn’t eating enough or eating well.
  2. I was tired from lack of sleep. 
  3. I didn’t spend enough time in nature, in silence.
  4. I was exhausted from masking and stress and anxiety.
  5. I was emotionally strained by dissociation and stress and anxiety.
  6. Basically, a lot of stress and anxiety.
  7. I pushed myself to stay at college longer when it would have been better for my mental and physical health to go home and eat and sleep and relax and unmask. 
  8. I pushed myself to mask my exhaustion but that only exhausted me more: vicious cycle.
  9. What burnt me out was all the masking, especially when I masked how exhausted I was. How can I prevent this?
  10. Basically, a lot of this was autistic burnout, which came from social burnout and which led to academic burnout.
