Hi what does burnout feel like and how do you know if you have it? Asking to hear from people who know; not speculation please and thanks.

Second question - this is probably one of the most useful things I’ve ever done on twitter so thanks everyone who is chipping in & being vulnerable. I’ve suspected this for months now and just tried to keep moving through fog & treacle. Is it a doctor thing? How do I get better?

Third question - I’m a self employed freelancer now solely responsible for the house I started renting with my ex partner, an admin assistant to pay, and a kid to feed. If my doctor recommends I take considerable time off work, how the fuck am I going to pay my bills?

Fourth question - first started to suspect burnout at the end of DKL/Mrs J leaving - which was April. Carried on working 7 day weeks, 15ish hr days until I’m now not really able to do anything but stare into space and sleep. (And somehow summon Potatoes up). I’m fucked, aren’t I?

Fifth thing - I do have a patreon, I’m just crap at promoting it and I need to change some bits of it as what I do has changed over the years. But it’s here on http://patreon.com/onabootstrap  and you’ll be pleased to know that C handles the mailing out, not my haphazard ADHD self!
