Anitidepressants,Antiepileptics,Notroops,Benzos...just a few of the medications i take just be a little alive. Burnout is very common now in the IT business. The brain is like a muscle, if you don't relax it will be broken. Nobody expects from you to work so much, blog everyday , work on several projects at the same time...Don't put yourself to much under pressure. Our brain is not build for multitasking! A "context switch" is a very expensive operation even for our brain. These leads to chronicly high cortisol levels destroying your body. Your adrenals burn out, your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis will be messed up. These things are very hard to repair. I give everyone here the advise: watch your health, take the time to relax! http://ayende.com/3686/who-stole-the-time#comment2http://ayende.com/3686/who-stole-the-time#comment2Tue, 11 Nov 2008 09:49:03 GMTYou know, burn-out ain't fiction, even for people who enjoy their stuff. Hence, I doubt you have any necessity to apologize. http://ayende.com/3686/who-stole-the-time#comment1http://ayende.com/3686/who-stole-the-time#comment1Tue, 11 Nov 2008 08:57:43 GMT
