Tell HN: Burnout is bad to your brain, take care

I am depressed and burned out for quite some time already, unfortunately my brain still couldn't recover from it. If I summarize the impact of burnout to my brain: - Before: I could learn things pretty quickly, come up with solutions to the problems, even be able to see common patterns and see bigger underlying problems - After: can't learn, can't work, can't remember, can't see solutions for trivial problems (e.g. if your shirt is wet, you can change it, but I stare at it thinking when it is going to get dried up) Take care of your mental health
