I saw a quote today that really hit me:

"When they invented slavery, they never planned to end it. They just updated the system. In the past, slaves had to be housed and fed. Today, we pay for our own food and shelter, but we still spend our whole lives working just to survive."

This is exactly what modern burnout feels like. The price of simply existing in this society is so damn high. We run our minds and bodies at 100% every single day, and we are all just tired.

Ever had one of those days where, it's been so frelling long that you've forgotten what it's like to not be in burnout but you're also just mad at everything because there's no way out of burnout?

No official diagnosis & your GP threw out the preliminary test that said you're a good candidate for autism that you got years ago. The waiting list is impossibly long so by the time you:
1) Pluck up the dice / spoons to face the GP (I'm still working on it 😣)...
2) Get an appointment & (by a miracle) maybe still have the dice / spoons...
3) Actually persuade the GP an AuDHD diagnosis is what you need...
4) Jump through whatever hoops to get the preliminaries sorted...
5) Get the green light for getting a diagnosis...

... You'll be waiting so long, you won't need it anymore as you're too old to work & are on minimum pension.

My messed up bodyclock doesn't help either.

Oh, it's you Depression... 😫... Just what I need 😡😩.

I hate it when I give myself reality checks 😔.

[CW: Salud mental / Burnout]

El burnout no es "estar cansado".

Es cuando tu cuerpo y tu mente dicen basta después de meses —o años— dando más de lo que recibes.

No es debilidad. Es lo que pasa cuando los sistemas toman sin devolver.

Lecornu fait sa Thatcher : marche ou crève, there is no alternative. Fonçons dans le mur, economy first et pouvoir aux ultra-riches ! L'avenir on s'en fout, du moment que les copains amassent. Tuez vous à la tâche, masses laborieuses pour que nous on kiffe avec tout ce pognon dont on ne sait que faire... #economie #societe #politique #climat #lecornu #burnout #travail #souffranceautravail
