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“A 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.”
finch_october96 · 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“I 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.”
