1. Just a suggestion: How about trying some mindfulness exercises? I realized I could focus better after 15-20 minutes of meditation. I am sure something similar might be available given how popular meditation is nowadays. You could try the headspace app - AFAIK, there are 10 (3~8 min) free short sessions. You can build up on that. 2. Also please open up to a core group of friends. That works as good as counseling. K…

I took up cycling and that worked for me. Interestingly, i didn't do it because of burnout, I started because my kid needed to keep an exercise log for her PE class during the pandemic, so I went with her, discovered that I enjoyed it, started going on longer rides, and only in retrospect realized that it was really good for my mental health.

I usually just lie on the wireless charger (bed) or change my fuel cells (drink a beverage like iced tea) or boost my internal oxidation engine (breathing exercises). Sometimes cleaning the cache (meditation) and sometimes dumping useless info to disk (watching Netflix) also help. Ingesting power boosts (fruits) also does the trick sometimes. Occasionally, I go for a deep cleaning (swimming) where I can lower the temperature and empty the RAM.

Please seek therapy ASAP.

Ignore "advice" from people without the proper training, including HN.

It took me almost 15 years to find swimming. Whenever I feel life is starting to get away from me I make sure to go to the pool 5 times a week.

I don't swim very far. Just 1000-2500m.

Don't worry about it, I found it amusing :)

Edit: I just realized how that sounded. I mean the expectation, not the actual content. Hope it gets better for you.

Exercise, any way you can.

I hear a lot of mental complaints.

That tells me you're ignoring your body.

Don't.

Take care of yourself as if you're someone you love very deeply.
