Re: What do you do when you're feeling overwhelmed?

Go to a bar and have a few beers and end up procrastinating/hyperfocusing on the tasks that overwhelmed me, then it all seems so easy. Problem is, after that, I'm not really in a fit state to start tackling the tasks

Re: What do you do when you're feeling overwhelmed?

I think sometimes I have to step back and allow myself to rest, and appreciate that actually I might need more rest than NTs. It's something I struggle with though.

Re: What do you do when you're feeling overwhelmed?

When I get stressed and overwhelmed I feel extremely lazy and tired, which is the exact opposite feeling I should have to be productive. I normally just end up laying in my recliner spacing out thinking about the things I should be doing.
