โPlease be gentle with yourself, I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I had to stop googling and it made everything worse. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side. Some days now I forget to be sad. I treat job hunting like a job now, nine till three, then I stop. Go slowly.โ
โTo anyone just starting to feel burnt out: I see you. I was there, crying in the work toilets, answering emails at 11pm. It feels like you have no choice, but you do. The first step is to tell someone. For me, it was my GP. I got signed off. That was the beginning. It is not easy, and it takes time, but you can get through it. You're not on your own, even if it feels like it. Take it from me, a night guard who now sleeps better.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: About three years ago, that was me. The worst part was teaching and the marking every night. I picked up the guitar again.โ
