Burnout Stories

Medical and dental school in Nigeria is more than lectures and exams - it's survival. This series tells the real, untold stories of students navigating overwhelming workloads, short timelines, academic stress, burnout, and hope. Inspired by real student experiences from Nigerian medical and dental schools, this is not a complaint - it's a voice. If you've ever felt tired, confused, overwhelmed, or close to quitting, this story is for you. You are not alone.

Growing up with chronic illness is an emotional journey. This story will describe the feeling of having your soul leave your body. In addition to the experience of being unseen for all the challenges and chapters that come with being chronically ill.

Briar Ashford has spent years in the chaos of the ER, holding lives together while hers quietly frays at the edges. The long shifts, the relentless trauma, and the silence after the sirens have taken their toll. Burnout creeps in like a shadow she can't shake, and the strong, capable nurse everyone relies on begins to unravel. Theo Hayes, her longtime friend and paramedic partner in the trenches, sees what others miss. He's watched Briar carry the weight of the world in her hands, and now he's determined to remind her she doesn't have to carry it alone. With every late-night coffee drop-off, every quiet ride home, and every moment she tries to push him away, Theo stays-steady, patient, and fiercely loyal. As Briar confronts the emotional scars she's buried deep, Theo becomes more than a lifeline-he becomes the reason she believes healing is possible. A story of friendship, resilience, and the kind of love that doesn't ask for permission, this is a tender portrait of two souls bound by trauma, and the quiet strength it takes to choose each other in the aftermath.
