Well, I made this a year ago, I'm not in much better of a position now, burnout is a real condition, a physical condition, its your bodies systems collapsing after being in a state of high stress for too long, fight or flight constantly being revved up in the background as you try to work your way through life. Recovery can take years of actual rest, but todays world doesn't allow that, so recovery seems infintesimally slow. What I said a year ago still stands fairly firmly: "I posted this a while ago on twitter, if you want to keep more up to date with me and hear/see my random musings go follow me over there https://twitter.com/Olivitree Burnout is a strange phenomenon that has been noted over the past few years. I wonder if it was something that was documented as something else (or not at all) or has become far more prevalent with more social pressure to skill up and work-eat-sleep-repeat. I'm feeling it more keenly now than ever, which is interesting as I'm not taking on any more art work commissions but still I find myself layering on the work load in other areas. It's such a weird thing, it doesn't seem to matter how much I need to rest and, ACTUALLY rest, rather than worrying about everything I should be doing, I can't do it. I feel like I've worn myself down to a nub and I'm still scraping away at it regardless. Human condition, perhaps, this is what we are trained to do in the education system (I missed half of it and I still had this "work until your dead" mentality imprinted on me) so we can survive in this awful work-life balanced capitalist world."
