Burnout back after just getting better

Lemon slice

Im 53, been diagnosed 8 months, hit burnout at start Dec there when told work, was off for full month. Went back 4 weeks ago on phased return and just built up to full time hours the other day. My work have been good, but just middle of last week it got really busy, ive got quite a demanding job and they said I wouldn't get any new cases just now. We've now got biggest case in years and everyone else who does my role is already so busy so im doing tgis new case with assistance. Last night knew wasnt good , today been unable to move from bed. I feel so deflated this has happened again when I'd built myself up slowly the last month. Sorry, I think i just needed to get that out. Can anyone relate?

  • Hi, I seem to drift into what I thought was burnout, I was also diagnosed about the same time as you and just a bit older. I’m still processing the diagnosis. I too find that work pressure causes a drift into burnout, I also wonder if it’s a drift into shutdown, as a child meltdowns wouldn’t have been tolerated so I would shutdown when overwhelmed. I find shutdowns leave me totally exhausted for quite long periods.
