I can only speak for my own experience. I know this was unhealthy for me. I knew it was in a variety of ways before but I know it now in a form I hate. Taking the link title form—
I write code 20 hours/week, here’s why I probably won’t stop: I’m over a year into burnout and I’m still in constant physical pain. I’m very good at what I do, I have a lot of good ideas, working more than half time is debilitating. It’s been this bad long enough that I’m resigned to the possibility I did permanent damage to myself working so hard.
- ehnto 5y agoI burnt out pretty hard. I took a break from everything for a while, and it wasn't until I started sitting for 4+ hours straight again that I started feeling pain. When I lift regularly it goes away but not immediately, which leads me to believe the sitting is having long lasting effects very quickly. I can feel the effects of a long sit for a few days.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoI very seldom sit for long at all, but I agree long times sitting makes it worse. Gratefully I’m up on my feet and out walking my pup regularly throughout the day. But sitting isn’t the root of my burnout or its tenacity. I worked too hard, sustained too long, through too many mental health challenges, and through too much neglect of my cognitive needs. And now I’m feeling the decades of impact. I’m glad that you’re finding relief. For anyone else who might benefit: yes, going and doing something physical with your body will probably help if you’re able.
