I don't know which of my symptoms are caused by depression, which by burnout. Probably there is some overlap. After having tried escitalopram (cipralexa), mi... |

| Your writing in English is amazingly good. I am glad you understand what I wrote about the shutdowns. When you wrote I realized that you were writing about the same thing that I was experiencing. For me, I experienced partial shutdowns and shutdowns now and then, but it wasn't until about 12 years ... |

| In the US, it generally takes 3 tries and a lawyer to get benefits. But I see you are in Europe, so that may not apply. You need to find some way to reduce the stress enough to let your body heal. Lots of sleep. Learn how to calm your mind, be it yoga, meditation, listening to music, deep breathing... |

| Oh no... I would so like to say something to help.... Stimming violently and drinking fizzy drinks or eating something chocolaty helped me a little. Stimming worked best but it was exhausting. The only real aay in which to help is a long term break from the stresses. I have had to give up working t... |

| One of the problems I have been facing all my life is body odors. After reading several threads on this site, I have come to the conclusion that this problem may be typical of many Aspies.

Earlier this year, I began to experience some sensitivity to gluten. Do you have digestion/GI issues too? Yesterday, my husband showed me a vid... |
