Dearest @NatureLover
I'm really sorry to hear that things are so tough for you at the moment. The most important thing is to look after yourself everyway you can. Ringing the SANE support line sounds like a terrific start.
I wish you all the best to feel a bit of relief and a bit better soon.
WIP xx

Thank you, beautiful people @Emelia8 @Eve7 @Jupiter @WIP @Anastasia @The-red-centaur I really value your kind caring words and thoughts.
The update is that the SANE Helpline has confirmed I have burnout, and so I will be taking 2 weeks off the forums, and reassessing at the end of that time. I am going to miss you all terribly, and will be thinking of you and wishing for healing things for you all. I am sorry I won't be here to support you in that time. Please take good care of yourselves, you are all very precious.

Hello dear @NatureLover ... really missing you my sweet friend.
I realise you will likely not be logging on to see messages during the 2 week break you have given yourself permission to take.
But I'm leaving this message for when you come back on line around the 16th October. Seems a long way off.
Just wanted you to know that I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into your Guide duties here. Not because you have to ... but because you want to ... because you genuinely care about and have a strong empathy for other people. I also know the toll that takes on a highly sensitive person such as yourself. Burn out is the pits and you really need to give yourself a reasonable amount of time out to recover.
I really hope you are doing that. The weather is on the improve and restrictions in Melbourne are slowly reducing ... so I hope you are getting in lots of walks and enjoying the nature you love so much. My thoughts are always with you my friend. And much as I want you here NOW ... I know that would be detrimental to your wellbeing. So please take all the time you need and come back refreshed and reinvigorated when the time is right for you.
Sending love and hugs to you.
Emelia 🌺🌻🌼🌸

Purposely not tagging you dear Naturelover during your break time as I don't want you to feel overwelmed the minute you log back in whenever that may be. In saying that I want you to know how much I care and that I really hope that the self care you are giving to yourself at present brings about the much needed rest that you need. Take care sweet friend and I will see you when you return xoxo
