Out of curiosity, how long did it take you before you felt like you were back to your "normal" self?
I'm currently in the same position, and like the author of this blog, started my "burnout" recognition (followed by recovery) around end of November 2020 (first time experiencing burn out). I've since switched employers, and although I'm still way better than before, I don't feel my normal, creative, resilient and excited self. Minor set backs feel like the end of the world. I'm now having to battle with imposter syndrome, and I'm not sure whether this is part of the journey.
- hondo77 5y agoIf you don't feel imposter syndrome on a new job, you're probably doing it wrong. :-) I don't know how long it usually take to fully recover. I've found that a new job changes things around enough that I feel better so I can at least function again. Normalcy comes sometime later.
- abledon 5y agoburnout counterpoint: If you are totally relaxed at a job and never feel imposter-syndrome, only work 20% of time, ... burnout probably won't happen.
- k3liutZu 5y agoNot OP, but it took me maybe a couple of years. I kept telling me I was _close to being burnout_. It took me probably 6 months to realise how bad it had gotten and that I was actually in a really bad spot.
