Oof. Watching cop shows even tho you think the police should be abolished; I felt that. That’s definitely me with all my true crime shows. 😬 Why must the things I enjoy induce guilt?! And it just adds to all the guilt I’m already feeling for avoiding whatever tasks I’m avoiding. 😩 I guess we’re burned out hypocrites together?

Felt this so much, as someone whose “productive” mode is pretty much burnout mode. Been working on it for years (and still working on it!), but daily affirmations about worth not equaling productivity, and mindfulness exercises to keep me in my body and help me notice when I am blazing through my body’s signal to rest, seek joy, eat, or do something that is not work, have helped me. What you said in your point about putting yourself first — yes!! I’ve found (and motherhood really sharpened this for me) that I can only offer my best self to others when I’m rested and self-regulated. Easy to say but SO HARD to put into practice. Sending love to you!

wow. the last year of my life has been this state of detachment and adrift-ness, all the while thrashing and hating myself for only working part-time and not volunteering more etc etc and trying to remind myself that 'i am exactly where i need to be' and 'you're doing this for your mental health' blablabla. i didn't realize that you could be burnt out / dispassionate yet still *care* so so much. thank you for clarifying this for me and for sharing so vulnerably!

Wow this is it for me lately- I had a whole sobbing/giggling Marco Polo download to my friend from a parking lot this morning trying to articulate all of this almost exactly. I have so much I must/need/want/can do right now that impacts my life in important ways and I really care and can’t even, even when I can and do, I can’t even. Lol. Thank you for writing this. Much love from the Bay 💌
