The worst thing about burnout is that you have to abstain from "optional" practoces that are necessary for your recover and mental health (hanging out with friends, playing games, going out on walks, leaving the house to do things you like), but you still have to do the essential, exhausting drivel that made you burn out in the first place. Go to work. Go to school. Go to one million doctor's appointments. Because if you don't, you either die or lose access to a vital thing keeping you alive (money, healthcare, etc).

(Btw this post is about physical chronic illness/physical disability related burn out and health crashes. I'm eating once a day. There is no accessibility tip you can give me that will enable me to rest and recoup more effectively. I am having a health crisis.)

#do not derail do not tag as visual snow syndrome etc #chronic illness #chronic pain #disabled #chronic fatigue #i have rescheduled all non-treatment drs appointments #but ppl dont get that doctors dont like when you do that! especially on short notice.#some doctors count anything with less than 24 hour notice a no-show even if you reschedule.#MOST doctors ive seen have a clause in their intake contract that if you have 3 no-shows you will b discharged.#A LOT of doctors i work with now DO NOT HAVE VALID CALL CENTERS??#like i call in and get redirected to a voicemail box that is full?? so i never get a call back. and no one ever answers.#and the automated confirmation text messages only have a confirm option--no option to reschedule.#i am unable to communicate with so many of my extremely rigid specialists.#its frightening having to reschedule. it could be the end of the line for you.
