I am pretty autistic in nature and I get super burned out. I have so many interests and I pursue them all simultaneously and I work seven days a week.

My tendency is to push myself far beyond my limits. When I get exhausted I start blowing up and yelling at people.

Do you consume caffeine?

This is the right question to ask. Caffeine causes mood swings, anxiety, and poor sleep.

After over a decade of regular caffeine use, I stopped it entirely last year. The benefits were tremendous. The "decaf" subreddit is full of people with similar experiences.

How come you push beyond your limits? Do you notice and do it anyway, or does it go unnoticed? Would you like to stop going past your limits?
