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
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
โI remember reading notes like this and not believing them. So I'll just say what hapened to me: crying in the work toilets was my lowest point, and a year later I'm ok. Not perfect. Ok. You will be too, in your own time.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are about three years ago. I remember signed off for six weeks like it was yesterday. I laugh properly again.โ
