The StruggleBurnout
I can do everything except feel present in it
Dear Delyara, Burnout has made me strangely functional. That is what makes it hard to explain. I can do the work. Complete the tasks. Reply, plan, cook, organize, continue. What I cannot do reliably lately is feel present in any of it. My life keeps moving and I am in it, technically, but something essential feels dimmer than it used to. Less spark. Less texture. Less internal arrival. It’s like I’m spending days in rooms I never fully step into. I am tired of living from reserve.
