I don't like traveling anymore

You can’t just go back to that version of yourself (the pre-burnout self, the one who had energy, and could do all of the things, and be a workaholic, or change the world, or whatever it was).

That version of yourself wasn’t living in a healthy way, it was ignoring your own needs.

I had a technique focused day for the first time in forever, and it felt so good. I was feeling worn down, starting to dread my workout, which was my body asking me to stop stressing it out. A technique week is going to do me good, so I can get back to lifting heavy. This is a wake up call to start considering my mesocycle way more

Looking for easy to read resources and easy to implement suggestions for dealing with #Autistic #Burnout. I am familiar with Dr. Megan Anna Neff, Niamh Garvey, & Dr. Alice Nicholls, but am too exhausted right now to try to read their books. If any of my #ActuallyAutistic peers know of some good ways to start recovering, I would really appreciate some guidance. Links to existing posts are appreciated. Thank you. @actuallyautistic

These might look #lazy, but are actually reasonable strategies:

- resist pointless #tasks to create time for deep thinking,
- set #boundaries at work to avoid #burnout,
- say “no” to tasks, resisting that we should always strive to #produce more,
- automate #repetitive tasks to free up time for #creative tasks.

Addressing Burnout – Libera Chat

https://libera.chat/news/burnout

I suspect very few people appreciate how much patience and discipline it takes to rest.

To do nothing.
To allow yourself to be bored.
To let socializing wait.
To ignore your to-do list.
To tell yourself over and over again:
'I am not doing nothing I am resting. Resting IS a verb, and it is the thing I most need to do right now."

To be honest, I tried for a whole week to gather my thoughts to write a post about professional burnout. But I'm so burnt out that I don't even have the strength to start writing... #burnout #exhaustion #stressmanagement

Techno-chorus about #burnout https://www.theaterutrecht.nl/voorstellingen/hardkoor by Naomi Velissariou: “I am at home burning out my doubts. And once my doubts are burned out, I will come out and I will play with you.”

"Wanderstop" ist ein ungewöhnliches Spiel: Burnout und mentale Gesundheit sind schon mal harte Themen, aber das Spiel fragt uns Spielende darüber hinaus, warum wir überhaupt spielen. Antworten finden müssen wir aber selbst.

Milliarden Menschen spielen #Videospiele – doch hinter den Kulissen herrschen extreme Arbeitsbedingungen: Systematische #Ausbeutung, massenhafte #Burnout's und sexuelle Übergriffe gehören zum Alltag. Der Dokumentarfilm #Crunch enthüllt die dunkle Seite der #Gaming-#Industrie und erzählt die Geschichte von #Menschen, die für ihren #Traumjob alles gegeben haben und daran zerbrochen sind.

I've seen a lot of posts from people talking about #burnout and advertising ‘small pleasures’ as medicine. Unfortunately, the word burnout is used lightly for any kind of #exhaustion.

If you have a *real* burnout, this hole of exhaustion where nothing works anymore (even not your brain), please seek professional help, not gurus. The sooner you find it, the sooner you can recognise your own behavioural patterns and get real therapy. You can't sip away a burnout with a cup of tea.
