Weekdays and Saturday mornings
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
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
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
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
