Being vee is a heck of a thing as of late. There's a list of things I want to do, or should do, and I know I want to or should do them, but the motivation isn't there.
At first I thought it was burnout. 2022 was A Lot. But it's not going away and I'm still just as prickly now about being nudged about things as I was awhile ago.
Every now and then someone in a project I supposedly co-run pings vee asking if I'm okay to take over something now and my mood just slams right back into the dumpster like I haven't recovered at all.
@trysdyn That doesn't sound like not-burnout to me, honestly.
@socks Well it's been going on for 6 months and I'm tired of being stuck in neutral but trying to force it just makes it worse; whee :(
Which I guess saying "It's not burnout it's just something wrong with vee" doesn't change anything either way.
@trysdyn @socks the trouble with burnout is that when you feel recovered from it, it doesn't mean you can go right back to doing all the stuff you were doing before. You may feel fine, but you're still like 90% of the way to burnout and it can be hard to even realize what's pushing you
sometimes we wish it was socially acceptable to just stop doing anything at all other than relaxing for a few months, because that would sure make things a lot easier to deal with
