You did not break because you worked too hard.
You broke because the work stopped meaning something. Burnout is not a capacity problem. It is an alignment problem. When identity and action are disconnected, everything drains faster.
You are exhausted in a way that sleep does not fix. The motivation that used to carry you is gone. You do the minimum and feel guilty about it. The problem is not that you need rest. You have tried rest. Your daily life is structurally disconnected from who you actually are.
What changes
- Build a sustainable daily structure that prevents the boom-bust cycle
- Reconnect with your core identity to rediscover meaning in the work
- Develop recovery rituals that rebuild energy at the source, not just the surface
