I am forced to do stuff by support workers but I just don't have the energy to engage. Its been triggering me to escalate. Which means sometimes means sh. I feel so sick being so tired. I feel dazed and confused. That breathing is too much effort. I just want to fade into the blackness of my mind.
Please take care. I wonder if it's worth while letting your support workers know that you feel worse when they ask you to do things you don't really want to do. @The-red-centaur
You deserve to be heard. I have sent you an email.

Re: Tired
I had to fire a support worker. My initial goal was to exercise, but when I developed a sport injury, my support worker couldn’t comprehend that I’d changed my mind about exercising for the time being, even after I explicitly said I wanted to let my body heal. (She wasn’t an exercise professional). She just kept trying to cajole and coerce me into doing more exercises, sometimes by giving me a choice between two different forms of exercise as if I was a child and as if it wasn’t my decision as to what we were going to do. They are there to support you, you’re not there to entertain or inspire them. It sounds like you might need to take a break to reset.
