Burning out

Ever wondered how a burnout feels?
Like this.

A now empty, crashed, and burned-to-the-bone car, that used to carry a lot, worked perfectly for a long time, was useful, had its place among the other cars, and was even new at some point, but for some reason malfunctioned or was misused, and ended up burning, alone, in the dark.

If you feel work makes you so hot under the collar that you might burn, please stop before reaching the point of combustion.

If it's too late, and you are now cleaning up the burned bits, trust professionals (preferentially from the medical field) to guide you to come back to life, healed.

Know you are not alone.
Statistics say that in 2022, 89% of workers worldwide have experienced some form of burnout, while not everyone looked for help or treatment, just plowing ahead for many reasons.
Know that it can be coupled with other issues, whether in your current private life, your health, or past traumas.
Know that it can happen even if you love your job or your career or your employer.
Know that if you keep working while burning, you will make mistakes that might have serious consequences, for someone, you included.
Know that if ignored, it can turn into a deep depression, much more difficult to recover from.
And when you do, expect to be changed by it all. Only you can tell how much.
