I experienced burnout before I knew what it was.
I remember lugging my heavy body into my boss's office and closing the door behind me.
After an awkward pause I stammered, "Um… I was wondering… if I could take the day off?"
My boss's brow raised, "Everything OK?"
That was enough to push the ball of string I was and I went rolling as I broke down in tears.
I was crying! In front of my boss! And I didn't even know why.
