Recovered from a two-year burnout that cost me a job I loved. Now I mostly talk about rest, boundaries and going back slowly.

What helped me

A standing Tuesday walk with a friend who never asked me to explain myself. Non-negotiable, no talking required.

What I wish I knew

Morning dread was information for me — not that I was broken, but that I had no buffer anywhere in my week.

What I went through

Burned out so hard I lost a job I'd wanted since I was nineteen.

What helped me

Accepting recovery was measured in months, not weekends. And doing one thing a day that produced something visible — bread, a tidy shelf, anything with an end.

What I wish I knew

Motivation didn't come back and then I acted. I acted tiny, repeatedly, and motivation showed up about six weeks late.
