OK. So I got my diagnosis really late. Actually just last year after almost 20 years of misdiagnosis and a lifetime of symptoms. The worst of which is this overwhelming feeling that I'm completely burned out. I feel like an old flashlight battery; when you turn it on it glimmers for a few seconds then dims to nothing.
I am, or at least "was", an entrepreneur. Self-employed, self-motivated, and self-managed. I wasn't particularly successful because unbeknownst to me the mood swings are not generally compatible with a successful business model. Right now I barely have the energy or motivation to get out of bed in the morning. Not because I'm depressed but just because I feel totally burned out.
Can anyone else relate to this? What has been your experience?
