But what did you do instead?

You kept going. You kept adding more to the pile, right? And it's important to make that distinction. Again, if it's true burnout, you go on a vacation, you take a leave, it should get better. You shouldn't be looking for more to do when you leave. But people who are functioning, they can't relax. They continue to add more. They can't slow down. They're running from something.

But the tools to look for are when you're still, do you feel restless? When you're not busy, do you feel empty? Do you find that things that you used to enjoy just don't give you that same spark anymore?

When you're looking at art or something that you used to find beautiful and breathtaking, you're just not as appreciative of it. When you're with people that you love, you're not engaged, you're not present. These are all signs that you should not ignore. They're not crisis, right? They're not something that's going to bring you to the ER.

And when people say that, they're like, oh, well, isn't there a difference between anxiety and depression?
