tell me more! Struggling to finish, get out what you want, don’t like what you make, overly judgemental of your work? I am musician/ADHDer for the love of it.

  The burnout was due to a series of serious external issues that impacted a service I worked on, and not having enough resources on my team to keep up. I left the job to focus on my mental health and recover from that. Since then, I decided to build a personal site/art project (link in bio) and yeah, months struggling to finish and excessive perfectionism. Not excessive judgment once I got to some kind of finish line though, I’m super proud of what I started and excited about stuff I plan to do with it in the future. Now I’m just focused on getting back on track financially. I’m not broke but have some pretty severe trauma response to the possibility having spent years earlier in life in poverty. Makes it hard to think about much else until I’ve got a bit of cushion again.

    That is some pretty impressive stuff! Has it helped or just continued the inevitable? Good luck with it!

      Thank you! It’s definitely helped. I’m really fortunate I could take any time at all, and doubly fortunate that I had two exciting prospects come along right around the time I was ready to get back to work.
