Burnout syndrome (Update: 30-04-2007)

[Daisy and Delilah]

I am so sorry to hear you're going through this. No one wants or needs to live like this. It sounds like you're sacrificing your life for your job. I have felt like this before too. One day, I finally had to take the world off my shoulders and think about "me" for a change and stop worrying about everyone else.

The extreme fatigue could be stress, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome or a combination of these things. There could also be another underlying health problem there.

Please please please try to take a medical leave from work or a leave of absence. Whatever it takes, do it now before it destroys you. You're too stressed out to live your life. Is it really worth it?

I really hope you get resolution soon.Believe me, your job will learn to manage without you for as long as it takes to get help. Best of luck with this

Kirsten,

If you don't take care of yourself, who will??? Believe me, your company WILL survive without you, as hard as it may seem. So rather than worry about how they'll survive, concentrate on doing what's right for you, honey.

And remember, we're here for you!!

You know what you need Kirsten ????
A holiday !!!!
A holiday away from work......like for 4 or 5 weeks....just go somewhere and sit on the beach and unwind.
I bet you'd come back as good as new
