of course. stress is stress.

i work 20-25 hours per week, sometimes even less during the holiday season, and i've had periods of severe burnout.

some years ago i had to take off an entire summer because i was sleeping poorly, not eating enough (i went from 125 down to 113 lbs), and i just wasn't giving people the care they deserved. i was going through bad burnout.

fortunately, i was able to spend the summer with my grandparents in hawaii and recharge before i totally blew a gasket.

during covid, i was up to working 30-32 hours per week and almost completely confined to the house, and i was losing my shit after awhile. get up, log in, log out, eat, go to bed. same shit every day, week after week.

stress can hit regardless of how little or how much people do.

Thanks for this. I feel better knowing my situation isn't sustainable.
