I have struggled with burnout, and I believe it’s a capacity thing, related to continuous trauma, and I’ve had success getting it treated the same way.
Sometimes this trauma can be something as simple as a toxic workplace, or choosing work over taking care of your own needs. It’s something I’ve struggled with throughout my life, and I’ve found talk therapy helps a lot, along with self care, and life changes. Psilocybin helps as well, to see things from different perspectives, like therapy does, and to mechanically loosen up those neural connections that are keeping us stuck.
Most people bounce back if removed from their source of trauma, but if it persists, or if you’ve become the source of your own trauma, consider therapy.
Burnout and depression and these things are your body trying to tell you something, that whatever you are doing isn’t working for you. Don’t fight it, listen to your body, reconnect with how you’re feeling and why in therapy, and make changes in your life. Feelings are the feedback on our actions. If you touch a hot stove and it hurts, that’s your body telling you to make a change. If living your life in a certain way, or working at a certain place, or having a certain person in your life is making you not feel good, that’s your body telling you to make a change.
