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?

  • I've felt awful past few days ... I just haven't taken a break since my diagnosis early Jan this year.  Work what would usually be fairly easy has been extremely difficult and slow, and every slight interruption (my manager is away) has just not helped, as my mind focus seems more on how I'm finding difficulties

    My smart watch says low stress level but am feeling very anxious.  I finally managed to knock some work out this afternoon - feels 50% slower than I know I would have done, and that's causing me to worry about what's happening.  But within half hour of sending the work out, I felt much better

    I think I'm going to have to take some time out soon and will reach out for some support next week.
