  • As others here have described, burn-outs for me usually follow intense periods of activity, in my case especially creative or intellectual activity.

    During burnouts, I feel emotionally exhausted, and creatively paralysed: I can’t do anything. After weeks or months, they lift and I have another stretch of productivity. I think I do usually feel depressed during burnout, or maybe I move in and out of depression during them.
