You have no idea (no idea) how hard this hit. I cried, I face-palmed, I am about to print this out and wallpaper my house with it. This is one hundy p what’s been happening for me lately (much to my persistent frustration) and the way you named it with such accuracy I am just 👏😦🙏
“Those Sunday scaries? That mysterious eye twitch? The fact that you burst into tears when the barista said "oat milk's on the house today"?”
I mean, I get how you could know about the Sunday scaries and the eye twitch, but my god, how you knew about the barista-breakdown… Such a brilliant piece.
Loved this piece of writing, mainly because it made me realize that I actually *don’t* hate standup. I do hate standup and sexism, standup and sizism, basically, “standup and” has me wrung dry and it feels good to see and feel the difference (less self-flagellation, more compassion and patience).
YES! It’s wild how burnout will convince you that you hate EVERYTHING about your life / projects. It’s like wearing rage goggles or something, everything is a threat. But when you’re able to take the goggles off and get some distance, you can see that it’s not actually your entire life or creative process that needs to get flushed down the toilet… it’s just like, one or two aspects that REALLY need to change. Always nice to get some distance and remember that! Thanks for reading, andie!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think I've saved every article I've ever read of yours because of how much I love it. Your writing is both so cathartic and healing but also just so much fun to read.
I've thought a lot about burnout and its relationship to depression and whether they're the same thing for me or if I just experience them the same, or how one affects the other. This gave me a lot of helpful things to think about in terms of assessing my mental state and figuring out what I need, which i'm not always great at. Think I need to do some tarot.
I love your writing and I love this series so much. “All ignored warnings from your scary guardian angel, who finally had to resort to unplugging your entire personality just to get you to pause.”

I nearly cried
