No system means…
Silence from leads.
Follow-ups get missed.
Chances slip away.
Exhaustion takes over.
You’re doing everything alone.

Hired as strategist. Spend 20 hours/week scheduling posts. Nobody told me I'd become a calendar manager. This isn't the marketing career I envisioned.

What percentage of your week goes to actual strategy vs. post scheduling?

🧠 It’s not burnout. It’s decision fatigue. When you’re running a business, your brain is doing overtime—whether your body is moving or not.

Burnout is deeper than tiredness. Explores the emotional, mental, and physical toll of burnout

😩 Burnout Isn’t Just Being Tired - Day 6 😩

It’s mental fog. Emotional shutdown. Physical exhaustion.
You don’t need to push through it; you need space to heal. 💬

Teachers aren’t just tired, they’re burning out. This is a nationwide crisis that’s pushing passionate educators out of the profession.

Slide 1: We Deserve Better Project 2023 Assessment; Key Finding #2: Advocates are doing everything they can to keep working in the anti-violence movement, but it’s hard. Learn more at wedeservebetter.work/key-findings

Slide 2: Top 3 Strategies Used to Keep Working in Anti-Violence Field: Respondents could select more than one answer: 51% I pursue programs that align with my core values; 36% I changed departments or roles within my agency; 34% I’ve worked at multiple local anti-violence agencies. “I seek out creative opportunities as well as cutting-edge programs and ideas for me and the staff. Working at a learning & training organization has helped me stay with the same agency for almost 40 years.” - Advocate from California

Slide 3: Most Advocates Do Not Stay at One Agency Their Entire Careers: Nearly a third (32%) of advocates reported working in advocacy for 10 or more years, but only 6% of those same advocates had been working at their most recent job for all or most of that same time period. While there might be longevity for some advocates, most do not stay at the same agency the entire time and instead work at multiple agencies.

Slide 4: Top Challenges & Reasons Advocates Left Their Jobs; Insufficient pay 69%; Burnout 65%; Lack of Resources 52%; Lack of survivor alternatives 52%; Resistance to Addressing Conflict 49%; Ineffective management 48%. “I left a state anti-SA coalition after realizing that I was experiencing moral injury, not just burnout... I was the fourth person to voluntarily leave this year.” - Advocate from New York; “I tried a number of strategies but had to leave the field due to burnout and organizational trauma.” - Advocate from Pennsylvania

Advocates are doing everything they can to stay in the anti-violence movement—but with burnout, low pay, and organizational trauma, it’s not easy. Learn more about our assessment at the link in our bio. #WeDeserveBetter #AntiViolence #SupportAdvocates #BurnoutIsReal

Freelancers love to brag about the grind...
until their voice cracks, their inbox explodes, and they forget what day it is.

Take a damn break.
You’re not a robot.
(And even robots need maintenance.)

Happy Friday!

Here’s what my real morning routine looks like as a nurse:
💤 Don’t want to get up
🚿 Shower cry
☕ All the coffee
👩‍⚕️ 16 hours of chaos
😵 Try to unwind for 8 hours before doing it again

Burnout isn’t just feeling tired. It’s emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and the creeping sense you’re not making a difference. Sound familiar?

You’re not broken. The system is.

#BurnoutIsReal #BehindTheDesk #SocialWorkersUnite

Burnout doesn’t fix itself.
Social workers: hydrate, set boundaries, lean on peers. Unionize or push your rep.
You can’t pour from an empty cup...especially when the cup is government-issued and already cracked.

#BurnoutIsReal #BehindTheDesk #CollectiveCare #SocialWorkersUnite

Been on the front lines of agency social work for >20 years. I can spot a DHS newbie by their eagerness & hope. Seasoned workers just blink slowly like they’ve seen some things...and they have. Large caseloads and lack of resources take their toll. Burnout is real. #BehindTheDesk #BurnoutIsReal

BURNOUT IS REAL How do you build resilience when you’re already exhausted?

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BOUNCE BACK You can take it one step at a time. Caring About Equality logo Learn more about Carers Week 2025 and find support: – www.carersweek.org

Burnout isn't laziness. It's a physiological state—and it takes more than positive thinking to replenish a depleted nervous system. 73% of carers in employment found it stressful to juggle work and care. You're not making this up. 

#BurnoutIsReal #CarersWeek2025 #CaringAboutEquality

Shoutout to those folks who juggle streaming and a day job. I'm trying but I can barely keep up with one thing at a time—my mental just can’t handle that grind! 😵 #RespectTheHustle

You can have the right idea, the right plan, and the right team…
But if the market’s not ready, it’ll eat your time, energy, and capital.

When your time and energy go to things that don’t light you up, of course you feel drained.
Refocus. Recalibrate. You’re not lazy—you’re misaligned.

When Friday hits and your hair’s doing the talking…

After a week of hospital visits, caffeine is the only thing holding this mood together.

Sometimes the struggle is real, but hey—we’re still standing (barely).

Sometimes I forget to take breaks…I legit will work 7 days a week and even skip lunch when working. It’s a bad habit I need to break 🥲. Tomorrow I will be taking a proper Sunday off. 🙂‍↕️ (excluding my need to draw things, that’s more fun than work)

#Itsokaytotakeabreak #burnoutisreal

Read 100 books in 2023. Only 11 in 2024, after burning out in February after reading ‘Manacled’ - fanfiction is NOT for me. Now diving into "A Little Life" for 2025 - hoping my reading mojo is back.

Burn out is accumulation - take care of you. #selfcare #burnoutisreal #burnoutisaccumulation #takecareofyou #theunrepentables All accumulation ends in dispersal.

So glad this week is almost over, I need to get this work-life balance balancing before the book releases #tired #burnoutisreal

Decided today was the Saturday I’d finally take apart the old rusty gas grill I stuck next to the shed a year ago and take it to the dump. The whole thing took less than an hour including driving time. It’s not even noon #procrastination #burnoutisreal

Is anyone else completely fried? Like, I feel like I should have taken this week off work because I can't accomplish anything and the quality of my output is likely shit at best. #burnoutisreal #sotired
