Long-term burnout is crazy because it just hit me that I’ve lost all of my creativity, for example, during the quarantine, I decided I was going to paint my closet to look like a barn, infested with bees, but now I can’t even come up with a simple idea

what are you doing to cope with long term burnout? (i also have been through long term burnout and only have recovered after being out of college for 1.5-2 years)

I’m struggling to work even 20 hours a week because of my long-term burnout. I can’t crochet, I can’t do calligraphy, none of it. 😞

I’m still burnt out from college I think. Just as I was starting to recover from that I started getting physically burnt out from work, and now I feel almost like I did right after I graduated. I wish this world gave more opportunities for rest and recovery.

Only thing I’ve managed to do that helps with the burnout is meditating. Helps kick the spiraling/runaway thoughts to the curb. Feel free to DM me if you wanna talk about it.
