OVERDRIVE #1 According to Google, burnout is more than just a fleeting feeling of stress. It is a state caused by prolonged, unmanaged pressure that leads to a profound sense of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. It thrives in toxic environments fueled by unfairness, poor treatment from the people around you, and a total lack of recognition despite everything you do to make them accept you. It is a deeper state of depletion that strips away your light, leaving you hollow. Once you are full from keeping it all in, you will eventually be triggered by a single circumstance. A breaking point that forces you to drop everything you love in exchange for the only thing left to find: peace.
