It's consistent. That's my limit. Takes a minimum of a year to recover every time as well.
No idea how to fix it lol just wanted to post it
I feel this in my absolute soul, although the burnout usually starts around 4 months for me and i absolutely never make it past 8
yeah dude I feel this as well. My ideal situation is increasingly becoming: live as cheaply as possible for a year and save up in order to quit and vegetate for as long as I can depending on how much I saved up
I’m kind of the complete opposite, I get in a total rut, stagnating in one position at one workplace for years at a time. I worked one bar for five years (got promoted after like three and a half), and now I’m coming up on 4 and a half at my next place. At no point did I feel fulfilled, usually I’m completely bored and cbf, but I just kind of coast along because it’s pretty easy work, and before you know it it’s been years.
Relationships on the other hand? I can speed run those bad boys in <18 months lol
Yeah I perpetually get in long relationships but can't hold a job. Literal opposites lol
I can manage about 1-2 years depending on what the job is. But after that point the depression and burnout become all consuming and I actively hope the job burns down.
Edit: To be clear, I'm miserable and I hate it but I stay in my job because my options are extremely limited at the moment.
Yep. Seems to be the cycle I'm stuck in. Got no for it. Solidarity my comrade.
Here's to hoping we can find a solution to our problems. I'd love to work in a coop or something like that but there aren't any near me and I don't know how to start one, nor do I know if that will actually help. From one dog to another, I hope you find a better option comrade :comrade-doggo:
Therapy costs so much money lol. Also the only one I've had in recent times I ended up cursing out because they overcharged me and wouldn't fucking listen. So I've burnt that bridge, at least temporarily.
But hey, good to fucking know. I will definitely keep that in mind.
kinda hard to live on $700 a month dude
disability in america is nearly worthless unless if you live in a good blue state
Getting on disability isn't a solution, it's just another kind of curse.
I've only worked at startups my whole career. They're unstable as hell, they attract volatile personalities, and layoffs are essentially a guarantee. To top it off I write marketing content, which I'm sure makes everyone here want to vomit but I went to school for creative writing and these are the only people willing to pay me for writing and I'm far enough into my career that I don't know how to get out.
Within a year or so of working pretty much any job I've identified enough awful things about the job or company that I can't reconcile them enough to buy into it and I start self sabotaging and losing respect for the people who go hard in the paint. I just don't know what else to do. There are only so many jobs that pay a living wage that don't suck your soul out of your body.
God I feel that. I started out writing for crypto companies and then moving into fucking crypto news because that was the best pay I could get working from solely a portfolio at the time.
Absolutely fucking understand where you're coming from.
Me but I’m gambling the money I just made off my new job on GME stocks so I never have to do this shit again. I want to be productive but I can only do so much before I shut down and stopping g working for a bit means go to homeless machine
I was thinking it might be SAD related because of this, but the year long recuperation makes me think otherwise. There's probably something to it as my insomnia tends to spike around then as well.
I don't think that's the whole issue but it probably doesn't help.
I'm going to look into it more. Even if it doesn't effect productivity or whatever it might be useful for general wellness.
Take Vitamin D supplements. It is literally life changing. I cannot stress that enough.
My ADHD brain can't handle doing repetitive uninteresting shit for hours on end without it literally destroying my mind. It fucking hurts and I hate doing it but thank god I finally found a job that I'm interested in but even then it's hard and holy shit I've done so many soul crushing jobs that have fucked up my mental health. I was meant to live out on a farm somewhere away from people I swear.
i can't even do a week of proper capitalist employment. its designed to kill your soul. those of us who will not do that are excluded. by design.
find ways to exist outside this shit.
