I've experienced burnout throughout work and education since I was sixteen. Usually around once every 12-18 months. I've accrued a lot of associated trauma.

For context, burnout for me is extreme depression and executive dysfunction lasting for months at a time to the extent I stop all work and social activities.

Stop working more than 32 hours a week. And do not make exceptions. Make sure, your work/life balance works out for you.
