Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski

"Human Giver" syndrome is a term I learned from this book, and boy is that ain't the expectations for stepmoms. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1984818325?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details

I’m so sorry. I can totally relate. I’ve been working from home for close to 5 years now, and the summer months are normally busy for me—so this amount of overtime is not unheard of for me. Then again, I could ask for help and I don’t. Somehow I always fool myself into thinking, This won’t happen to me again this year. I’m fine. Everything is fine.

Please take care of yourself. You need to rest at least 1 day per week. It is rare that I will work a Sunday, for example, even though I really want to—just to get stuff done.

This is the book. I haven’t finished it yet, but I am enjoying it so far. It’s not dry at all. The part about Human Giver Syndrome has also made me realize it’s ok to expect others to do their parts. (I’m leaving one of my unpaid volunteer positions at the end of this year due to burnout/stress and the fact that there are plenty of other people who are available to take on the role. Someone else needs to step up because I am done, even though sometimes I find myself rationalizing, Well maybe I could do this instead…” No, I really seriously need to be done.)

Sorry for the tangent, lol.

By the way, the book does focus on women and how they respond to the burnout cycle, so I hope the book is still relevant to you.

It sounds like your boss needs some training about workforce burnout and basic empathy.

This article is a few years old, but I found it really helpful the first time I read it. (I don’t remember for sure, but I may have cried the first time I read it because I was burned out and I realized I do it to myself—granted, no one really stops me either.)

Looks to be this
