losing computers as a hobby for the last two months has been completely devastating for me and I really hope I can feel back to normal eventually

all I do is reply to emails saying “no” to everything. I try to find joy in other things but it’s been really challenging given I’m too tired to do much of anything

I am a super resilient person to the point of being really proud of what I can handle in life and I’ve been through absolute hell a lot since I was a child. Somehow being sick in this exact way has thoroughly taken me out but I am trying to take each day at a time

I am super fucking thankful that I've been well enough to work, even if I'm slower at it right now and not knocking it out of the park

I think folks are confused about this thread. I’m not going through burnout. I have an illness with symptoms that are exacerbated by looking at screens. This is why it’s so frustrating I *want* to do computer things very badly.

It’s like a skiing enthusiast breaking their collarbone
