burnout.. 10 months later (life updates + Q&A)

Dear Fleur, thank you for your wonderful podcasts. I’m an old woman living in rural Australia and I too suffer from burnout. It’s been so hard to find anything about what the journey is like and how to recover. Everyone said “Go to the gym” but none of us, me included understood how bad that can be when the burnout is bad. And like you, I’ve spent a lot of time in bed and then I need a lie down and maybe a nap. :) This is a really hard journey and it has cheered me no end to hear about your experience. I feel way less alone and less useless and less hopeless. I’m sure you never expected to help a 67 yo in Australia, but you have helped, a lot. You go girl, you are fabulous. All the best on the journey. Celia.

“It also takes a village to live as an adult” is sooo true!! Thank you for sharing your experience and for being so open! Love from Michigan <33

I have felt these symptoms and I know that I suffer from depression and I am undergoing long-term treatment with medications. It is important to take them punctually and have a healthy lifestyle and just go ahead!

love to hear that you're doing better ❤️, as someone who also struggles with mental health issues it's always comforting to hear someone else speak so openly about it. Sending lots of love 💕

Fleur, i am proud for you. I am fighting acute PTSD after an accident. And a grief. So believe or not, I understand you. I cannot drive any more. I wish I could. I lost a job after the accident and had nightmares. I am fighting. I now work with numbers and R programming. I find you a good example how to fight. Please do not get scared with me. You are a leader to me now.

always love hearing from you, and rooting for ya!

I am so incredibly proud of you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

you are beautiful, i admire you and i pray for you to get well soon. You deserve the best in this world. Try visiting places like the Philippines. 🥰😍

i feel like a proud sister right now, from seeing you being so vulnerable with us. thank you for that, i appreciate it and you. i’m so glad and happy you are feeling better. baby steps, what matters is that you’re improving 🩷

Sounds like your learning and growing from your experience. 🙂👍 Sounds like you need a playmate. 🎮📺 And maybe a small work project that requires an hour a day that you could do together. 🛠️🎨
