The symptoms seem to appear in a cumulative slow creep way so they are almost imperceptable and then all of a sudden you get into a zone of complete overwhelm etc. That's how it was for me.

Loss of creativity, inability to focus on work, particularly if something is upsetting me (but am doing better on the latter).
Feeling a lot more hopeful.

A lot of people seem to relate to the emotional side - with a bit of the behavioural and physical.
I agree with you @Janna - this stuff can creep up on us. Which is why we often find ourselves at a 5 before we even notice the symptoms!
That's a great observation @outlander about whether it's "usual" mental health stuff or burnout. They are connected in that it impacts you MH in a negative way, but also unrelated in the way you can manage it.
Must be a bit of a tricky one for you going from no sleep to too much sleep!
Were there any symptoms that I missed?

I think the burnout is related to how good or bad the person with the MI is travelling as well. Almost reflective of their state in some ways.

Welcome @Former-Member - sounds like this discussion might be a good one for you at the moment.
Do you relate to any of the symptoms I outlined?
