does anyone experience something similar? sometimes I feel like I'll never recover from burnout :-S and maybe that's the case...? what has helped in making your life more sustainable for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being?
Thank you for your post. I feel like I could have written it. So yes I experience these feelings as well as others. What has helped me over the years is intense exercise and weightlifting. You may feel like you are too worn out at first but I find that it really helps me with burnout and other things. Take care.
