> actual, physical burnout

As with all mental health issues, there is no clear line between "fake" and "actual, physical". It's a spectrum. Even small amounts of stress and boredom create physical responses.

I have Bipolar disorder and I will happily admit that anyone can suffer depression & mania symptoms, and that the difference between what they suffer and I suffer is one of magnitude and not one of categorical difference.

The article author sounded a little bit burned out. You were/are severely burned out. Is there something wrong with saying it like that?

Unrelated, read both of these statements and tell me you don't see irony:

> Be far less sensitive.

> Also, perhaps you should try to experience burnout before a needlessly pedantic out-of-nowhere virtue signal
