I'm autistic, Audhd, so I was thinking autistic burnout, but it sounds very similar. I'm so sorry about your job - that part sounds awful. I get to a place where my mind just stops working. I don't have any more words. And I try to avoid that obv, but I'm also ADHD and want to do do do do do all the time and sign up for way too many classes and get certified in way too many things. I promised I wouldn't anymore, and I'm doing a bit better. Just waiting to finish up the things I've got going (2 more weeks) and the sched will feel more do-able. And I won't hit a wall and have to nap in the afternoon to get ready to teach in the evenings!
Thank you for sharing. I hope that you will find resources that can help you with your particular experience. Recently, I subscribed to Taylor Allbright, PhD, who has published numerous fantastic articles. Additionally, I would recommend author Chris Guillebeau, who has a Substack titled 'A Year of Mental Health'.
Thank you for your kind words. Oh, that sounds like such a struggle. I hope you find some valuable tips on TWD to move yourself out of it. Next week's post offers several burnout tests, and in the following weeks, I will include actionable tips - only those that I tried and found helpful in the previous couple of months 🙏
I did indeed enjoy reading this post, thank you for the tag! I related to so much of this, having also left a different career track to pursue coaching.
Have you heard the phrase “revenge bedtime procrastination”? I feel like that really captures my own struggles with wanting to stay up reading when I should be sleeping 😂

The new format you have going makes for very interesting reads. I found this very informative and relatable
I’m looking forward to seeing how your journey progresses
I got burnt out recently and went the opposite way of basically complete procrastination. And have struggled to get back into any sort of groove
I will come back next week to see what tips you share
