Burnout, 2018.

Three years ago, my constantly worsening sleep deprivation and stress resulted in a burnout. I’m 30 years old now, at the time of posting this comic, and I still haven’t recovered fully. I still have the heart symptoms – even the smallest amount of stress brings the symptoms back. It’s likely I will never recover enough to work a fulltime job again and I can’t go back to high-stress environments like customer service. But that’s alright. I am more than just my work. I’m slowly learning to be merciful towards myself and to show myself the same kindness I show others, and I think that’s very important.

This is my story and I won’t be ashamed any more.

I needed this. Especially the percentage part. As someone who compares myself to others a lot, I really needed that.

Your best is yours, not anyone else’s

Just to emphasize

You’re doing amazing, all of you guys are. I believe in you all, and I’m proud. 

Keep going, you got this
