Burn Out

I've again hit, and working through, a patch of ADHD burnout.

I'm realizing, that unless I put in a lot of energy, I'm not the most pleasant at this time, especially when it comes to change. And my unregulated emotions are having a field day, again a lot of energy trying to keep them in line.

As a result, I'm tired and feel like I could sleep forever. Definitely would love to hold-up in a dark cave until this passes over- which I know it will. But for now it is exhausting.

Burnout is definitely a difficult thing to go through.

I've been through at least a couple of times of major burnout in my life, so I can relate. I am still recovering from the last one.

I know it can be hard to reach out when you're in that place, but we're here for you.

Definitely take extra time for rest and self-care.

I hate feeling burned out. I’m feeling it rn because it’s the end of the school year and I’m an educator. I feel like I will spend the first summer week sleeping, watching tv and doing cross stitch, but I know I need to look for work since I won’t be able to come back next year and only paid through the beginning of august
