I get that, distracting yourself with the work. I’m non-stop running too, I just make sure that some of that running is for things I WANT to do, not just the corporate bullshit I have to do. Even in my burnout I was still working, it was just painful. Took 3 years or more to even start to recover, and even now I’m still struggling. Having a spouse and multiple kids also makes it very difficult to work outside a 9-5, but even one kid can add a lot of stress. Sounds like you went through a lot of the trauma and stuff that causes people to shift earlier than most, but I’m glad you have a balance that works for you. Just please don’t push yourself too hard and I hope you take the time to enjoy some of your life. Otherwise what’s the point of being here?
