Autistic burnout. What do I do

My whole life so far has felt like a journey to find a balance between peace and functionality that just doesnt exist. Every tiny thing, hygiene, temperature, speaking, working, even things that I should enjoy like puzzles, games or walks are so draining.

It seems like I have to choose between being mildly peaceful while doing absolutely nothing or being mildly functional while being absolutely miserable.

I just want to live comfortably while also being to sustain myself. Im so grateful to have a family that can support me and some savings but what will I do when I eventually live on my own and run out of money?

Does anyone have any tips for managing burnout? Any medication or treatment of any kind?
