- I didn't tell my team because I didn't have the energy to. They called me and asked what's wrong. Then I took 3 months off. Then got back with 25% basically staring at a screen doing nothing then walk home. I did this for another month.
- Summer came. - I started therapy and joined a group that helped me understand my behaviour of perfectionism etc. Most helpful 12 week programme.
- I played video games to offload my brain, as I couldn't focus or read text
- I started painting also - was awful at school hated drawing etc, but turned out together with video games it was the only thing that could put off that load on my brain.
- I basically took a stance to never go back again to IT. It didn't work out though but I'm in a more aware situation and don't put too much load on myself. Another thing is that I realised it's just not for me to code, to keep worrying about systems, wondering what might break etc. I'm really more of a practical guy.
- So right now I'm trying to shift my focus where I can recognize my strengths first. Being at a desk is not really that, and that's hard to realize though.
Burnout is really...your overheated engine in the car. You can't use it. At least that's how it was for me.
I could write a lot more but DM if you need anything.
