six weeks unemployed and the thing that actually helped wasn't more applications, it was telling my closest friend the real number so I'd stop pretending I was fine
#burnout#job-search
Was telling everyone 'it's going fine, just being picky' while quietly panicking about the runway. Finally told one friend the actual number of weeks and the actual bank balance, out loud, and something about saying it plainly made the applications after that feel less like the only thing holding me together.

AnonymousAnon Six weeks isn't as long as it feels from inside it. How's the search going since you posted this?

AnonymousAnon Saying the real number out loud to one person did the same thing for me, stopped the constant performing that everything's fine. Hope it keeps going well.
