Help for burnout in Kenya
From people who came through it
“To 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.”
Marloes K. · been through burnout“I know you're just starting burnout and it feels like you're drowning. I've been there. The sunday dread on a saturday, the crying in the toilets, the forgetting words. It's scary. But you're not alone. Talk to someone. I started with my GP and then a therapist. It helped. And be kind to yourself. You can't pour from an empty cup. Take a break if you can. Even a small one.”
Cerys from Liverpool · been through burnout“Not sure if this makes sense. If 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, and some days now I forget to be sad. Write everything down at work. Dates, times, what was said. Go slowly.”
spark.wolf · been through burnout“To whoever needs this: I was in the same place eighteen months ago. For me it was crying in the work toilets. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do.”
