By numbers: Earlier this week when I realised that I was burned out, another part of the evidence was that I couldn’t figure out what to do to begin to get better... It's worth thinking about before you need to.
Your featured photography in this post is really stunning. I especially love the series beginning with the goose. Such tension and reflection within your choice of photos--nature, human, infrastructure. All coexisting. Being. Rising.
Prior to reading this post, I was not familiar with the symptoms of ADHD overlapping so closely with burnout. I’m recovering from deep burnout myself which struck in Spring 2021. Having grace and learning to accept this new state of being has been a journey for certain. But now I see (and trust) it’s leading me to my most aligned life, in support of the natural flow of my body and mind.
Urgh- sorry! They did, but I messed around with them for reasons losyt to yesterday and must have damaged them as when i tried them just now they didn't again. I think I've fixed them now. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for making the effort to find out more, and letting me know!
Thank you so much! I wanted to wait until ii could formulate an appropriately thoughful response to such a thoughtful comment but my brain is having none of it! The choices of photographs in that sequence were only semi-conscious, but you are right- there was definitely some inner knowing trying to make it's way out. Interestingly I feel that it aligns with the message from my tarot pull last night- The Emperor, and I really do have a lot of work t obring me closer to the alignment you describe. The trust is so hard for me, but I'm trying.
The symptoms are also similar to fibromyalgia (which I have), just add in chronic pain. But confusingly, they are also symptoms of menopause (which I have just gone through, and you look too young for). Often we struggle on as things disintegrate slowly and we think the symptoms are normal. So it´s goof if you have been able to get an accurate diagnosis and you know what to do to be well. I wish you lazy times for a few weeks!
Yes! There is overlap with so many other conditions, both chronic such as yours and mine and more transient ones such as menopause (I'm 43 and almost certainly perimenopausal), depression, grief...to name but a few.

I wish you grace and love, Emma.
Unfortunately the links provided in the footnotes do not work for me. Do they work on your end?

I looked at the photos a second time thanks to this comment, nature, human and infrastructure. Such a lovely way of putting it.
Sending you strength Emma xx

Wishing you the best on your continued journey towards healing.
