After teaching for 30 years, I definitely fit the bill for compassion fatigue and burnout!

[bethocdunwitty]

I had a complete nervous breakdown and had to be hospitalized for 10 days due to extreme job stress for 5 straight years. 8 years of Lexapro did not help

[caffeinejones]

I have set limits with my boss about how much I will work. I refuse to work nights, and then turn around and work days. It's too much.
I'm a social worker. I've seen many people burn out.

i have experienced two really heavy burnouts. last happened 7 years ago. still did not recover completely! the only thing what helped was removing stress (which in my case is difficult as i strugle financially and this is a huge source of stress) and resting. resting for a really really long time. nothing else helped. and a common cause of a burnout is a heavy depression that follows it! not fun at all

[nickybu]

Had a burnout, and - as there's Kelly - I can truly say that dogs helped me so much to recover from it ❤️

[smugbugs]

I got fibromyalgia and Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)/ME.
Just listen to your body!! And its signals! Please try to be aware of that.
I went in constant stress over yeaaaars, now im chronic ill for the rest of my life.

Why oh why do you use this far away angle? I can't even see Dr. Judy's face. Closer up please. We really don't want to see two of the camera men in the shot.

I have felt so bad and stuck because of everything.
I’m gonna remind myself and to find my way back to Mindfulness

[Rapture-Ready]

Can you address Adrenal Fatigue? I'd like to know more about it. Thank you.

[lalakuma]

I've been burned out since high school.

I experience teacher burnout at this time of the semester. Thanks for the help. Go Waves, Dr. Judy!

@MedCircle Do you have any information on avoiding chronic doctor visit burnout for the chronically ill and disabled groups? I think it's a fundamentally different group because they all can't cope the same way as everyday individuals given their functional limabilities.

So recognisable, coped with this couple of years ago, also interesting about the glasses blocking blue lights... btw you can also do eye exercises so you don't have to wear them anymore... :)

I would like something about recovering from living in live long chronic stress as child in dysfunctional family. I feel permanently exhausted and tired. Sometimes I feel pain in my muscles from stress. I know that everyone will tell me that I should go on psychotherapy but I participated and I completely don’t see anything useful in those conversations. It looks like huge waste of my time. Nothing better happens in me by that. I feel like I’m getting behind in converting my life into something more healthy and better by participating in this. Every psychologist will tell me that I should take drugs but my emotional state is less stable when I take drugs instead of taking for example magnesium with vitamins B complex. When I go to internist they make me blood test and they say that everything is ok with me. I had to find informations about naturally age reversing and restoring the work of my mitochondria to have more energy in my body. Everything what really helped I had to find on my own during years and in my personal pain. Is this really possible that I will not have to search everything on my own and wasting months or years for recovery of my body? I have to sleep longer than ordinary people and I’m weaker physically that others. When I have to earn my own money it makes my daily life harder.

I suffer from burnout .. had a burnout session in 2015 ... it was scary and not fun... I ended up quitting and then took 3 months off .. I still suffer from it ... and can feel that I am getting again ..

[LM-chrh]

it's super important to get the camera guy in the shot.

[j_anneuni]

I like listening to them but these are like how to prevent burn out or manage them. And come one, that far away camera angle is a no no. It even shows other camera men which is a big no in film. They should have zoom in. 😔

[joshmcbride]

i literally dont understand the point of doing something and not trying to be the best

[zakrivera]

I had both of these badly and bc I didn’t treat it I had to leave my job!!
