Does anybody else feel mentally drained from doing normal things?

so i’m in my late teens and i’m starting to get more accountability for how i present myself and ive noticed that i sound like a bitch. and sometimes i lwk am but a lot of the time i don’t even mean to sound so rude but i come off sassy. i also get pretty mentally drained quite fast and i imagine it has something to do with it.

But the thing that gets me is i don‘t even do much. I don’t have many chores and I don’t get bad grades so i barely study and i only work around 7 hours a week but i still get so tiered. I become really irritated and i snap at people and feel so guit after. I also get slightly annoyed by the customers, i think i come off as rude as well bc people tell me i naturally have an “attitude“

like am i that weak? everyone does thing and i don’t understand why i can’t.

i wish people didn’t have to take my tone and face so seriously. Im not good at deescalating things when they do think i’m mad either bc i actually get mad at the fact they think I’m mad lol. My best friends autistic do she doesn’t read into my tone all that much and i wish every one was like that. it’d make everyone a lot better to be around.

this sounds a lot more like being overstimulated than being weak. some brains just run out of battery faster, doesn't matter if you only worked 7 hours or did almost nothing all day

how do i stop it? i usually do seek a quite room with no sensory input when i feel this way but that not something that i can just have unfortunately. I’m not sure how i’m gonna do this for the rest of my life if im being honest

grocery shopping alone takes like 4 different types of energy. deciding what to eat for the week, navigating the store, waiting in line, loading the car. by the time i get home i need to lie down for 20 minutes before i can even put them away
