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
โNot 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.โ
โI 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.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
