A conversation 2022-01-11 on Twitter:

RevDaniel ([twitter.com profile] RevDaniel):  

An insidious side to burnout is looking back at your life and thinking "I've been busier / more stressed than this before! So how can I be burning out now when things aren't as bad as they have been?"

Burnout is cumulative.

Jo Mercuri Goat ([twitter.com profile] jo_mercuri):  

It can sneak up on you.

RevDaniel ([twitter.com profile] RevDaniel):  

I'm not sure it sneaks. It walks steadily toward you and you see it coming but you keep telling yourself "It's not going to get here. It will stop there."

Burnout waves all kinds of flags to announce itself. And we ignore them, deny them or explain them away.

We live in a culture (well, here in the US) where being overworked and exhausted all the time is a virtue, something that is worn like a badge of honor. It shouldn't be.
