Some burnout jokes are funny because they’re way too real. Here are 6 we shouldn’t normalise 🔽 ——— Hi, I’m Sasha 👋 Together with a doctor, I’m building Anticipate App for chronic stress and burnout. It helps you: • track your patterns • spot burnout early • slow down instead of pushing through Download “Anticipate: Mental Health” on the App Store. ——— 1. “Just gotta get through this week.” You’ve been saying it for months, and every finish line turns into another deadline. 2. “Sorry, my brain is fried.” You forget words, lose your train of thought and reread the same thing five times. 3. “I’m cooked.” Not normal tired. More like every spare minute is spent lying down because even hobbies feel like effort. 4. “I need a weekend after my weekend.” Your days off stop feeling restorative and become recovery time just to make it through another week. 5. “My brain took a long weekend.” You’re technically working, but concentration, memory and basic decision-making have completely checked out. 6. “I just need to disappear into the woods for a month.” When being completely unreachable starts sounding like your dream, you may be running on very little capacity. The wild part is how easily we turn this into humour. “I’m cooked.” “My brain is fried.” “Just one more week.” Not okay. Save this if you needed the reminder. And search “Anticipate Mental Health” on the App Store. We’re working tirelessly to make it as helpful as possible for people living in chronic stress and burnout. 🤍 #burnout #burnoutawareness #burnoutprevention #mentalhealthmatters #takecareofyou
