Lack of Motivation and Bitterness on Dating Apps

I get caught in loops of this as well, and I honestly attribute it to burnout; I still can’t tell if it’s autistic or ADHD burnout, or both. But I do know that sometimes our bodies just need more rest. As an AuDHDer (autistic and ADHD) I know that my brain is constantly going miles a minute trying to process and organize things. So I try to give it the low energy it craves. Try taking that nap, or even just laying for 30 minutes, and then find a low energy activity to work your way back up. And remember, it’s okay to take that time to rest, but it doesn’t mean you will have to rest forever. Using blocks of time, or at least switching from laying/sitting tasks to standing/moving have been helpful to me to keep going when I am flooded with fatigue. Hopefully once you meet your body’s need for rest, you can go at the dating app with a more rested state. I know that doesn’t help when people are jackasses, but it might not feel like such an emotional trigger if your other needs are met. You’re doing your best, and your feelings are absolutely valid.
