When I was recovering from burnout, I felt like I was relearning how to be myself. I was extremely fortunate to be able to take an extended break from work, but it still took months before I felt whole.

More to say on burnout and I'm probably going to boost it a few times because folks need to hear it:

Burnout is a form of brain damage. It happens when stress conditions persist until they damage our brains.

It's an injury that needs to heal, not a weakness that needs to be pushed through.
