The Silent Burnout: When Your Best Skill Becomes Your Weakness

✨ The Story of Success, Limits, and Asking for Help 🚀

✨ What if the thing you’re great at is also what’s burning you out?

In 2022 I started a new challenging IT job at a startup.

I was tasked with filling the shoes of a brilliant, experienced colleague.

I thought I was ready, but I was wrong.

The pressure was relentless.

I couldn’t sleep; my mind was a hamster wheel of work, worry, and self-doubt.

Every day I felt like I was falling behind. I was falling apart.

What happened? I hit a wall.

I couldn’t accept that I was failing.

💡 How did I get out of this? I finally accepted my limits!

🔹I asked for help from senior colleagues

🔹And I found a coach specialized in burnout

Asking for help wasn't weakness, it was the right thing to do.

What did I learn?

Success isn't about being a superhero, It's about knowing your limits.

When you know them, you will work at your best. You will also feel your best!

✨ True strength isn't pushing through everything; it's knowing when to stop and ask for help.
