Hey Nigdyci, I used to think I'd never burn out. My mom had, for decades. My husband had too. Me? Nope. I couldn't. I knew all the signs! Then one day I somehow forgot how to count. Not forever. Just... long enough to scare me. After reading other people's experiences, I realized I wasn't alone. Other people had lost numbers too. They'd forget that after 29 came 30. I've forgotten words. I've walked into rooms with no idea why I was there. I've reread the same sentence ten times. I've cried because someone asked me to choose what to eat. If you've been there, you're not alone. Burnout isn't just exhaustion. It can change the way your brain works for a while. And that's what makes the important conversations so much harder. How do you explain what's happening to your doctor when your mind goes blank? How do you tell your boss you're struggling without feeling like you're making excuses? How do you help the people you love understand something you can barely put into words yourself? That's why I created the Burnout Communication Kit. Not because I have all the answers. Because I desperately needed someone to hand me the words when my own brain wouldn't cooperate |
