Burnout Advice

O
over 3 years ago

Hey everyone,

My mums birthday is tomorrow and I've had to plan a lunch out with her and my brother because he's useless and I'm feeling burnout with having to plan it and get it organised especially at the moment its been hard to find somewhere to book because everything has all be booked for months in advance and also I'm not good at remembering birthdays at all so I had a bit of a oh f*** moment when I realised its her birthday (I'm bad at remembering birthdays I even forget mine).

I'll definitely be burnt out tomorrow and the day after because it's happening over 2 days because she's going out with different people. I've forgotten to get a card too and I feel bad and anxious because of that as well. 

Just wondering how you guys handle burnout and what you might do to help.

Thanks, O

    HI O, Give yourself some credit. I too am crap with birthdays, they just have no value to me and I don’t understand the fuss people make about them. However, you did remember, you’ve put a lot of work into organising something I’m sure your mum will appreciate and you should be proud of that.

    Afterwards though give yourself some space and time to download. I’m quite basic, so just shutting myself indoors watching trashy TV for a few hours or a few days (depending on level of burn out) and I’m recovered enough to get on.

    Yeah I don't really see much point to them to me it's just another day I don't mind the odd happy birthday from people here and there but I don't like making a whole thing of it for myself but birthdays are a really big deal in my family so I have to participate.
