#BURNOUT #QUOTE from https://adhdftw.com/burnout/

"I discovered Karolina Szczur’s article on founder burnout…"

❓ feeling worn out and depleted, no matter the amount of time off
❓ feeling overwhelmed, as if I couldn’t keep my head above water
❓ feeling hopeless, as if nothing I do matters or makes a difference
❓ being “empty” and disassociating
❓ unable to engage in activities during time off
❓ starting to fantasise about departing the company

The onset of burnout is gradual—it doesn’t happen overnight. Periodically, it would momentarily improve, but then come back crashing like a wave. What I found most insidious was that I was already using numerous strategies, both at personal and professional level, to prevent stress and burnout. It still found me.
