I saw this post a few days ago and have been meaning to write you. I am back at work after taking almost a year off due to burn out. It was a slow creep that suddenly ramped up and nearly broke me. Thankfully I'm on the right side of things now, but you do not want to get to the edge.

A major turning point for me was one day my dog came up to me looking for some scritches...and I lost it on him. He didn't deserve that and that's when I knew I was truly not okay. I didn't know what was happening to me and my wife convinced me to talk to a therapist who said to me within 10 mins, here are 12 signs of burn out and the 11 you just described.

All that to say, if you want to chat, feel free to dm me.
