Burn out: a thread. I had high hopes for this Easter break + a to do list as long as my arm. One week is gone and apart from examining I've done nothing on that list. I've been tired every day, detached from work and choosing to stay indoors rather than socialising.
Every term I get to a point where I think 'just get to the break' but I realise now I'm already burnt out before that. In the previous term - there were lots of things happening in my personal life. I think we sometimes forget that there can be a strain in both parts that lead to
stress, anxiety & depression. Yes my life is great but I get frustrated and annoyed when I'm not as motivated as I know my true self to be. These are all signs of burn out. I've made conscious choices since we finished school to improve my future because I'm tired of this pattern
