I was in an Adidas outlet just the other day and they had them for sale. The shell suits not the Nintendos

I went to zoo once, the entire zoo was just this one dog. It was a shitzu

You are very welcome.

I used the Pomodoro method to help with task and workload anxiety.

Actually my boss was telling me to be careful, they mentioned my work ethic a few times. I wanted to power to my goals.

The best way to describe how it felt was like a big ball of rubber bands. The brain should’ve full of flexible connections so we can think and innovate and grow. My brain ended up like a big solid rubber ball. It takes a long time to do that, it takes just as long to untangle it change the way we work/live.

My employer gave me so much support, I was out on full pay for a while and they have helped me get back in to my role.

I will say that burnout is a serious danger. I was immune to burnout, I was a bright shining star that could do anything and everything, I tore it up and achieved more than I could ever have expected. And then it happened, I started to struggle, but I could “push through this” because I’d done it before. But it ground me down, I didn’t see it until it was too late. One day I was sat on my bed crying for the smallest of things, my brain could not figure out the simplest of things and I was terrified. It’s two years later and I still not the person I was before. Maybe that’s a good thing.

Now I take my time, I am not (and never was) immune.

Look after yourselves, hopefully the journey is long.
