This so wonderfully describes how this whole shitshow has been since March last year. Even a few weeks off work doesn't help because we can't do what we might normally in order to recover. If this is you too, you have my sympathy - I know, all too well, how you feel.

Does anybody else feel like they’re in a constant state of burnout, and that sometimes the burnout becomes milder, but you never fully come out of it? I have no idea how to recover, and there’s never enough time and space to do so. Life is exhausting.

The best thing I did this year was finally quit my job. In the 3 weeks I was "funemployed" the anxiety relief was almost palpable, knowing I never had to go back to a job that had been destroying me, with the last year just peppered on top.

Fortunately while work is a stressor (it always is) I'm fairly happy where I am - but 3 weeks off sounds like utter bliss. I managed two weeks and I'd say the last couple of days started to actually feel like I was relaxing. So 3 sounds like I might actually recharge a bit.

Yes that makes a lot of sense, we don’t have the same ways to escape that we usually would, and working from home makes it hard to truly switch off xx
