From people who came through it
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
lamp_honey25 ยท been through burnoutโTo 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
Marloes K. ยท been through burnoutโIf 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
Writer in London 36 ยท been through burnoutโA note for the next person. I was in the same place in 2022. It was could not get out of the car in the parking lot and I couldn't see past it. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.โ
