I feel this sometimes. For me it’s like my body isn’t used to the boost so after I’m like whoah I need few mins that was great but a lot and I’m not really sure how to process. Then I feel exhausted. But if feels more like if I just hit that high what else is there for today. Kinda feels like after I’m just like ok got what I needed and time to close up shop for the day so I don’t ruin it or overdo it since it’ll be hard to hit that again and it used up my energy. But sometimes having those moments does give me more energy so I really just never know how it’ll go.

As much as I love my friends, it's hard to keep up with their energy. Especially on my low days. Sometimes I do gain energy from them but it's very few and far between. It's almost like a coin flip when you think about it.

Yeah, I definitely understand this! I think that sometimes it just can be a lot of information to process (sensory, social, emotional) and our brains might need more time to do that. I also wondered if it was related to PEM (post-exertional malaise) because I feel the same tired after physically exerting myself as I do mentally exerting myself.

Yes for sure!! I just feel sad that it's over, and usually tired, too (and sometimes I mistake feeling tired for being sad/depressed). I try to just give myself some slack and just do whatever I want afterwards (like don't try to fold the laundry or something like that right after)

yup, my emotions tend to swing back and forth between highs and lows, which makes good times suck sometimes since i know a crash is coming next
