I'm not autistic, but definitely on the spectrum. During this COVID scam I could not function at work. I work in tech in Silicon Valley and being the only awake/Trump supporter was a huge mental burden every day. Like you probably were, I was anticipating justice for the children that never came (at least publicly). Forcing a smile on Zoom calls with my asleep leftist co-workers was torture. I couldn't function, and I finally had to mutually agree to leave that job and have been unemployed since Dec.
Do be careful with the Wellbutrin. Everybody's brain is different, but it made me suicidal...and then my docs tried to up my dose! I pray it works better for you.
Oh boy, I understand. I myself work for a major High Tech company whose headquarters is in Silicone Valley. Being autistic, I sometimes speak truth when I shouldn't. If it were not for the fact that the woke assume that everyone is woke, like them, and are incapable of overcoming preconceptions even when confronted with personally experienced data, I would be in real trouble. I once had a boss wisper into my ear after a meeting "Don't worry, you aren't alone." Us base have to stay hidden. As it is, I have been censored on the company employees forum several times. Those running it have contacted my manager. I now have a comment in my review regarding inappropriate comments.
As for Wellbutrin, my doctor is being very careful. He has been my primary care physician for 6 years. We have had many conversations regarding my symptoms. So when I finally decided that I probably need some medication, he was prepared. I'm 61 and Wellbutrin works pretty good for people my age and causes less side effects then in younger people. But he still screened me. I had to answer a bunch of questions. I am supposed to take it every other day for the first week and if all goes well, start taking it every day, in the morning. I am supposed to meet with the psychologist every two weeks and immediately report any mood changes or anxieties. I am supposed to meet with my doctor regularly.
I feel you, fren.
