I got a straw/paper trilby and its been a game changer. The hat, some loose linen clothes and sandals have made me much more heat tolerant than ive ever been

I find this incredibly distracting and I hate it. My daughter is banned from the spinning chair because she not only spins on it but slowly wheels it in to your eyeline too even if you look away

Worked with geese, can confirm, this is how you do it. One hand on the neck and one on a wing. Goose gets annoyed but not hurt.

I am in ways. Someone mentioned the optimistic nihalism video, which I was using to describe myself before the nutshell video, people used to say "thats stupid, thats not nihalism". So I felt pretty validated when I saw that. But in other ways im definitely not. At work, I wont tolerate unfairness, and have got my union involved a few times (living in the uk with a protected characteristic can be boss - but I dont abuse it, I have experienced actual discrimination in a few different ways and got it sorted out). I also won't tolerate cups too near to the edges of tables, and if thats where you put your cup I will move it back 2 or 3 inches so you dont knock it off by accident with your elbow - dont try to stop me I will invest way too much time and energy and arguing my case over this.

My work did a mindfulness monday through lockdown. I joined one, it was typical meditation. It was horribly overwhelming for me, the more I relaxed the more it felt like my insides were screaming at me.

Im on a group therapy session for autism with my health provider currently. They just spoke about meditation the other day. When they said the word I was like 'oh no'. But when they spoke about it they said meditation doesnt need to be sitting still and aligning your chakras, it can be anything from walking in nature, to biting a pillow (i might be using some creative license on that second example). Its supposed to be an activity that puts you in touch with yourself, you do that any way that works for you.

  • Do you have difficulty identifying burnout?
  • Do you have difficulty identifying when you've recovered?
  • How do you decide when to go back to work?

Sorry, no answers here. I was asking you...

I'm off sick from work, because I'm burnt out, and because I know what can often occur when I am burnt out (losing temper, upsetting people, getting really frustrated with people and it getting perceived as aggression).

I didn't feel burnt out, but evidence was mounting and I had a hunch that I might be. And then I reacted kind of badly to something, and I knew "hey, I'm burnt out!". The first two days off sick involved lots of sleeping, and not being able to begin menial tasks at home.

I started to feel a lot better yesterday - I say "feel", but I don't really feel it; my physical being does something or does not do something, and then I observe that it has or has not done something. I was back to doing things like housework and hobbies, and could hold a conversation with my mum on the phone without being to braindead to talk. I must be feeling better...

I started work this morning (from home today, just by luck of the schedule), and a few hours in it was clear to me that I shouldn't be back yet. On reflection, it probably hasn't really been enough time to recover, but:

  1. I experience guilt that I'm just bunking off work because I don't feel like it today while I'm off
  2. Each day I'm off, I'm going to have to catch up on that work, which might be stressful, so I begin to get stressed that I might get stressed in the future
  3. I don't feel much in myself, it all just feels very much the same - burnt out and normal. Introspection isn't something I do well and I need to see the effects of what's happening inside me to know what's happening inside me.

I'm hoping others can share thoughts and experiences that might help me. Also, it's just nice to dump my thoughts at times like this and see that I'm not on my own in some of my experiences.

Oh, and finally: a positive I have taken away from the experience is that I seem to be getting better at preempting my burnouts, as I had the hunch it was coming before it came.
