I’m getting better but it’s extremely stressful because I have a hard time figuring out what I can do without hurting myself.

I hear ya. And it’s hard to say you’re “not doing anything today” I always end up going overboard those days.

I say this sometimes. And I really mean it when I say it.

I end up doing nothing but the way i am is, that’s way more stressful than actually doing work
It’s like building up this wall to ignore all your obligations

I submit that you should choose the obligations which suit you. The dishes in the sink will still be there tomorrow.
Sometimes they should be shirked.
And being bored is a necessary skill I think.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after.

I don’t do middle ground very well. It’s either all action or all lethargy.
So taking a day for myself is less a choice than a necessity. If I try to be productive on a lethargic day it takes me 5 times longer to perform even simple tasks.
So I wait until I’m better able and more efficient.

My autistic brain: hey man your plants are dying
Me: right, but thats just the way it is. I have to heal.
My autistic brain: 
My autistic brain, trauma edition: ok sure, just sit there and smoke weed. Here, let me replay the top 5 times you were insulted for being lazy
I mean this is a slight exaggeration but it’s hard to overcome my “features.” It’s a work in progress and I feel like crap right now. I might be repeating myself but yeah, just gonna focus on the light in the tunnel.

My ex wife had the balls to call me lazy after I worked 2 jobs 16 hours a day for 2 years.
Fuck them all let them think what they like.

I actually agree. But it takes work to overcome that.
One thing I liked was, like
You know that saying, “living up to your potential” and how gifted kids supposedly don’t?
Well, that’s garbage. I’m living up to my potential right now. That’s my 100%. There isn’t more. Thats like saying, why aren’t you guys at work right now. Why aren’t you squeezing every day for it’s full potential. Turns out we are living up to our potential if we are trying.

I know one or two gifted kids. What constitutes potential depends on values. Im not really money motivated so living up to my potential isn’t monetary.
Being a good person and living a full life of fun and adventures and looking good doing it. That’s my potential and I am succeeding.
Fuck you 3rd grade Mrs Jones

That’s definitely part of what I mean. It’s this mindset that you should be like, sigma grindset millionaire or you’re a bum, that some people seem to have

This is on purpose. If you are not contributing to the economy then you are bad bad bad. Work hard and you will be rewarded in the next life.

I know part of it is the whole calvinist idea of value/goodness = productivity
As you mentioned it’s actually quite rewarding being a good person foremost instead

There is something to be said that’s good about hard work.
I’m a half a scholar on happiness and there’s a Hungarian philosopher whose name I can never spell or remember who basically says that happiness comes from flow. Which means being in the moment, doing something you’re good at, solving problems that are not beyond you, reaching attainable goals.
I’ve experienced flow and there might be something to it.
