I’ve hit a wall (or became the wrecking ball). I am taking medical leave to try to recover from extreme burnout and told my boss today. Doctor suggested 12 weeks. I’m worried I can’t get better, or back to pre-diagnosis productivity. My work has always been a big part of my identity and source of self worth. I’ve had periods of burnout before, but could push through work and limit the rest of my life to the bare minimum. Now everything is collapsing. Any advice on how to cope or sharing your experiences would be much appreciated!
