The Messy Realities of Burnout

I have a confession: it’s mid 2019, and I’m burnt out. It’s a subject that’s only really discussed in past tense, or hypothetical future tense. Like a lot of psychological issues, it’s fine to fear or have conquered, but there’s a stigma around actively experiencing it. I’d argue I’ve been wrestling with burnout on and off for years, but it’s gotten especially pronounced in the last few months, and caught me off guard.
