I am autistic, and work in an amazing, healthy, work environment, and I still get burned out. Wishing everyone well to all the people who suffer from burnout.

[davemontano]

Burnout can be confused with hopelessness especially due to debt and still not getting anywhere. Not having anything to show for working is worse than affordable debt, but debt that is eating you alive is shear hell.

I burnt out so hard I’m still not back at work 5 years later

[Jeb-Slim-Jonson-mbqx]

The biggest reason for burnout is a dead-end/crap job you don't like, but have a feeling that it isn't possible to find a new one, better suited for you, also there's an attachment/comfort in your job, you got used to it even if you hate it there.

The best honest advice i can give is, build enough income to switch it, or to invest in something you're interested in (business, hobby, project, etc...), instead of trying to compromise or switch perspective on things, cause usually it's not gonna improve and you'll keep wasting your time on people you don't like and job you don't want to do, even if you're good at it.

So like 23 years of trauma and 5 years of non stop working with no goals in place and now I’m burnt out. It’s been like almost 6 months. I’ve been doing instacart to get by but other than that I just wanna sleep and be outside and have silence.

I have been feeling burn out for almost 4 years now and I still could not take a break because of my own circumstances.
I have cut off lots of things from my life to keep my energy but because the main thing that makes me burn out could not be cut, it just kept gettivn worst.

I told my manager most of my team is burned out and he responded saying senior folks should figure it out themselves. That’s when I fully lost hope with him

[stellaancimer]

It is all depend in what kind of situation, and circustames Person is..for me over traumatic Events per years, i am waiting on disability now, it is serious stuff 😊

[heartsonghealingspace]

Continuing to fight against it only digs you further into burnout. Finding ways to self nurture...avoiding sources of stress might mean eliminating energy draining interactions.

[revelation]

Im now 4 months at home after i burnt out. Im from the Netherlands and i get paid the same when im sick. I cant emagine how it would be when you must work while burnt out because if you dont you wont get paid and you get even more stress on top of the burn out.
Here you have around 2 years of being sick and get paid at the same time. You also get mental help from work because of the waiting list a psy of about 10 months
Even i dont feel a bit better now no mather what i do or dont do

[edwardcacho]

It’s called retirement and when it time to pull the ejection cord then do it and don’t look back. And be ready for a new life.

[elisabethminthorn]

Me to my boss: I'm feeling burned out and I'm thinking about taking early retirement in the next 6 months.
My boss: oh, I guess I'd better get everything out of you that I can then.
Me: my last day will be XXX.

[alera]

I’m now in my month and a half burn out and can’t get to shake it off

[StellarMirage]

I've been burnt out for 5 years nothing has changed...

[kkx]

I had to be admitted to intensive therapy two years ago due to burnout. Disability and the whole thing. I have just this week quit a job due to burnout. Even taking "a few days away" would not have helped. In fact, due to coming back to a massive tsunami of tasks, it would have made it worse. I'm taking a break, planning some gig work and hope to find something in my industry that allows me to work to live not live to work.

[kashishraj]

I can't ... I'll just force myself out of it...

[alicesadventures]

2 weeks out is very possible if you’re not in the US LOL

[MetalHeadPyro]

Succumbing to burnout is not an option. So never burnout, or you'll never get a chance to recover! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
