How do you get over burnout - when it’s coming from multiple directions? It’s not just the work environment, it’s the constant uphill battle of dealing with different aspects. I really want to take a sabbatical for 6 months but part of the stress is also dealing with medical professionals that won’t assist with putting together paperwork for my employer. If you’re here to help me and I’m saying I need a break, why are they also giving roadblocks? I don’t even want to ask anymore cause I’m exhausted. I can’t move past and get to a point of healing and trying to put together a road map, when what should be a simple request turns into questions and invalidation

That makes sense. I was doing small crafts in my personal time because that feeling of control and completion helps. But i have chronic migraine that eats up all my pto. So it’s a catch 22 - I need the extended time off to reduce that reaction but have to fight to get validation to do so which just triggers the reaction-that triggers the response from the office and over and over again. Outside of quitting all together - what’s the process of finding a therapist that offers the support needed? Too often they’re glad to assist up until the point of actually filling out paperwork - can’t do anything without that. I feel like when I’ve asked it upon first meeting - I’m treated like I’m faking or trying to get out of work - which makes no sense since none of that time off is paid time. There’s no benefit besides having a much needed break
