Looking after yourself is important, at least as important as attending to your responsibilities.

My work has had so much pressure lately: persistent threat of mass layoffs, a massive reorganization, a new boss, a change in team dynamics that has seen some of the shittiness in others rise to the surface, new duties, needing to prove my worth at work all over again, make new relationships.

I haven’t been sleeping properly, my other latent health issues are acting up.

Screw work for today. Nobody will die if I don’t go. I’m just gonna chill.

I just want to remind everyone who needs to take a break to do it if they can. I realize its not an option available to everyone… I’ve lived most of my life in that mode but I’m able to do it for now.

    Yes.

    I fully burned out in 2017, because I didn’t look after myself. … didn’t know how to either. It wrecked me in ways I don’t think I have, or will, ever recover from but I was able to rebuild into something more healthy. Regardless, I don’t fuck around with giving more than I can give anymore.
