Burnout Recovery

1.03 - day 28/93 // June 6, 2026

Today I... called 🌊, talked to my nutritionist, bought clothes for work, replaced my jean shorts, got a cute pair of earrings

This shit ain't linear, huh?

I thought starting work would,,, fix everything? Instead I get home at 6 and I'm exhausted. My threshold for the amount of energy I can expend without feeling totally drained has been so reduced. I just felt fuckin' sad again. Numb.

But I'm glad I'm working out. I'm glad I'm tracking my fitness. It's been a surprisingly positive experience. Even thinking of getting a Garmin...

However, money is still stressful. I don't think that will ever go away.

Burnout Recovery (05.30.26)

1.02 - day 21/93 // May 30, 2026

Today I... used a hair mask, shopped with my mom, gardened, worked on a creative project, make s'mores with my dad, had good tea

I felt neutral today, overall, but there were bursts of extreme energy.

Tomorrow I'll read more, maybe listen to Magnus Archives.

Burnout Recovery

1.01 - day 19/93 // May 28, 2026

Well, no time to start like the present.

If you didn't pick up on it through the studyblr series, this past semester I finally experienced *true* burnout. Oh buddy oh boy, I thought I knew what it felt like - I was wrong. There is, evidently, a great distinction between the tired I've been calling burnout and the real deal.

I've never felt so fucking hollow; drained, exhausted - those words don't cover it. Amidst symptomatic bouts of depression, mood swings, and significant negative manifestation of the stress on my physical health, I did all I could to tread water these last three months. Once I finally got home on May 9, I slept for 16 hours. My body knew it didn't have to fight anymore.

My numerous Google searches have informed me it takes about 3-6 months to fully recover from a 3 month burnout. Well, I've got a nice round 93 days. Let's see what damage I can do.
