Reframe Burnout as Your Body's Refusal to Lie
You have hit a wall at work and the loudest voice says you should have coped. This reframes burnout as a physiological limit rather than weakness, names the signals your body has been sending while you overrode them, and treats the collapse as information. Suits anyone overextended for too long and quietly blaming themselves for it.
