Hi all,
I've been working as a software engineer for 4.5 years. It was my dream job. Unfortunately, that didn't mean I was immune to burnout. I'm 1.5 years into recovering -- it's been slow, frustrating, and painful.
I just wrote a post about my journey (linked above), and how taking medical and disability leave gave me the safety net I needed to start getting treated.
If anyone has been struggling with work and career burnout and isn't sure what their options are, I hope this helps.
Feel free to DM me or reach out if you have questions about it.
