I wake up with my chest tight before the alarm even goes off. The job itself is fine once I'm there. It's the 90 minutes before that are wrecking me.
Members who've personally been through it.
Recovered from a two-year burnout that cost me a job I loved. Now I mostly talk about rest, boundaries and going back slowly.
Panic attacks on the train for three years. They stopped. Happy to explain exactly what the road looked like.
Insomnia for a decade. Now I sleep. It wasn't one trick, it was six boring ones.
