I’m in Burnout with AuDHD. What’s the difference between Burnout and overwhelm…p.s Can you launch a podcast episode tonight about it!”


Hi Brian,


Burnout and Overwhelm


The World Health Organisation (WHO)  has entered Burnout into it’s 11th revision of the International classification of diseases, so is now considered a disease globally!


 How do we define Burnout?


Burnout means - I’m DONE, I’m TOAST!!!



Shows up as:


Sleep but you don’t get rest!

Exhaustion

Cyniscym 


and many more!!


Many people have the option of taking a sabbatical if they go into burnout, to readjust, rest and start again


Some People take a short holiday


Autism and ADHD Burnout here in Germany, where they have clinics called “KUR” , where people can spend a couple of weeks, aren’t actually offered for adults with Neurodiversity to get the time we need to recuperate and to start again….instead we are shamed as to why we cannot hold down a job!!!


Which is completely unhelpful and adds more salt to the wound, especially as we are very keen to work and build up a foundation and life for ourselves, and our families.


So I conduct meditation every morning and evening because I certainly don’t have the option to have a sabbatical or take a holiday. 


Meditation is my minji holiday, twice a day.


My son and I released “Ayden Arnold’s Whale meditation” for kids and adults… with brilliant frequencies for those with the following conditions


ADHD

Autism,

AUDHD 

Brain Tumors


See link:


I am an ordained Buddhist and practice meditation every day plus have studied the Buddhist scriptures to add peace and value to my life as well as yours.


Business Owners with Autism, ADHD and AUDHD - I have a protected source (Journalism ) which means that the help you get with your business is reduced to 50% than normal business owners if you have ONE Neurodiverse condition, such as ADHD. If you have TWO, such as Autism and ADHD the assistance with business practices and assistance is reduced to ZERO!!!


I also note from the Office of National Statistics in regards to the National Autistic Society Website in the UK “”22% of Autistics are in any kind of employment” 19.2.201)



Overwhelm could be  taking 8 bags of shopping from the car into the kitchen by yourself, having 30 apps open on your phone and dating a little of everything at once….but you never get to finish something.


I mention the in-build ND structure of taking one item from one room to another, which doesn’t overload us, lets us move with our hyperactivity and (mentioned in another episode, opens up the Eisenhower Technique to live a better life).

I also recommend sourcing out other people to help you in business , and/or if you have kids, to get them more involved so you can all work together.


I hope you get better soon Brian. Keep me up to date.
