I also bought myself something I've wanted for years as a birthday present, can't wait for it to arrive 🤭

The most prevalent advice seems to be to resign, drop everything and dissappear for a couple of years but that's like the exact opposite of what I want 😩

Good news is that I have less sleeping issues than before.
Happy to take any tips that don't include resigning and exercising.

Truly 😅 Yeah I hope this wuold pretty much be it..

What caused the sudden crippling fatique in the first place? Who knows!

Is something else going to come up in the future? Who knows that either!

Get depression:
Get meds which help, and bonus(!), they help a bit with the fatigue but I'm still tired.

Now that those are taken care of I'm pretty sure it's just burn out (for now). Did that also partly help cause the depression? Did an undiagnosed ADD get me on track to burn out?

I desperately try different supplements, different doses of meds, exercise like weights etc. Results vary but nothing really helps.

Another set of blood tests:
Low iron again. Maybe it's an absorption issue? Try liquids. Iron goes up again, above recommendations. But fatique is still there.

I get super lucky and switch to a position where I can work 50% and I don't need to get up as early. This makes life a bit easier and working more manageable.

I'm able to do some things on my free time.

Went to have blood tests after a year of not "getting used to" it:
Severe anemia, eating iron for 6 months. Fatique is no longer painful but still there.

Next get an ADD diagnosis and meds:
Bonus! ADD meds help me stay awake after work and on weekends, fatigue is a bit better but still there.

(*I read the symptoms, of which I have almost all of them, and made the test, in which I scored in the upper third making it to the "serious burn out" section. Also I've known it for a long time, I just didn't think it could be actual Burn out - burn out and not just some general weariness.)

It's so gorgeous!

I have so many little things that needs to be taken care of my brain feels like one of those lotto machines where is spits out a random item every now and then while the others keep rattling in the background
