most people who are suffering have no clue how badly they have it.
I felt very similarly. My wife and I were both VERY burnt out. Quit work and just lived on savings for far too long. We just couldn't find _any_ desire to do the hobbies we loved for like 7 months. Even then it was just _barely_ beginning to get the spark again.
Burnout sucks.
- xupybd 6y agoWow that was me at my last job. I wanted so badly to perform but I couldn't. I thought I was a terrible programmer and a terrible person for not being able to deliver. Looking back it wasn't a great environment and after a change I can think and learn again. It's great.
- superiorflush 6y agoDiagnosed burnout here. It takes WAY longer than months to get back to where you once were (if you ever get there). Its been 7 years for me. (Thanks, Academia.)
