Burnout, Blackouts and Being Too Tired to Care Anymore


Listen Later

When your biggest worry shifts from overpriced birthday restaurant reservations to whether you'll survive the night in a concrete parking garage, you know burnout has reached new levels. (Spoiler: it involves waking up to orange flashes at 6 AM, one very anxious dog, and the sudden realization that changing your nails every four weeks instead of two is actually a cry for help).

Think exhaustion is just about being tired? Try functioning when every task feels like climbing Mount Everest, even texting friends becomes overwhelming, and your father somehow manages to compliment you by comparing you to Sharon Stone while simultaneously making you sound ancient. From bomb shelter bedroom fantasies to the revolutionary concept of Lviv apartments with built-in walk-in-closet safe rooms.

Your sleep schedule is probably bad, but ours involves missile-induced wake-up calls and spending quality time with search and rescue teams. (Sorry regular insomnia, but Ukraine's got you beat on sleep disruption). When putting on pants during an air raid becomes a legitimate survival strategy and drinking coffee at 9 PM makes you feel absolutely nothing.
