How can I stop a burnout?

Seren

Over the last few months my meltdowns and shutdowns have become more frequent. I'm barely working, I'm exhausted all the time. I feel so alone, useless and a burden and I don't want to go through this anymore. I don't know where to go to get help. I used to be able to do so much, why can't I be who I used to be? What happened, what went wrong?

  • Hello Seren,

    As a fellow "Burnout-ee", I find some days can be a bit more manageable than others. 

    I had some essential things (away from home) which I had to get done this morning (so this afternoon for me has been a bit of a blank - as I slowly try to recharge from this morning's errands).

    It has been a few weeks since your original post.  I hope you won't mind me enquiring; I wondered how you might be finding things this week?

    Hi, thank you. I have good days and bad days. I'm trying to organise my week so I have more time to get back on my feet after work. I have also tried to find counselling help but finding support is difficult. I don't think I always do the best at resting as I can't shake the feeling of guilt when I do. 

    I don't really know how I'm doing really
