Been trying to unmask for half a year+ now and it's difficult, numbingly depressing, and extremely damaging to my reputation (in places that do matter, not just pointless social status standing)
The end of the tunnel leads to a beautiful forest full of life and light though right?
I feel the exact same way, we recently almost just lost our home and I honestly felt absolutely soul crushed knowing I couldn't do anything to help because I can't get a job due to variety of disabilities. I also didn't know about the term "autistic burnout" until this comment and it's really nice to finally have a word to describe how I've felt for the last few years...
