- jquery 5y agoHaha, thanks. That brings back memories. If I recall, that thread helped me avoid burnout for a while. But it eventually caught up to me again with a ferocity I was unable to defend against, with the catalyst being a parent who died. Fortunately, I was in a position of financial strength and faced the beast head-on. On further reflection... burnout turned out to be a gift in disguise. It was an impetus for necessary change.
- ipnon 5y agoI have had similar experiences. Thank you for sharing and good luck.
