I’ve experienced burnout throughout work and education since I was sixteen. Usually around once every 12-18 months. I’ve accrued a lot of associated trauma.
For context, burnout for me is extreme depression and executive dysfunction lasting for months at a time to the extent I stop all work and social activities.
I’m sorry if I don’t reply to each individual comment. I really appreciate everyone’s contributions. Having to go through them slowly because this whole topic just brings about a lot of shame and upset for me.
