Friends and family tell me I’m insane for entertaining the possibility of taking some time off due to burnout.<p>I’m currently dealing with some serious depression and trying work on these things myself, but it’s proving to be challenging and have set a timer to re evaluate before I dig myself into a deeper hole.<p>Am I disillusioned to think time off would help me? Clearly the tech industry job market is tanking, so I see there is risk here. Would be nice to hear from people in a much clearer state of mind than myself.<p>I’m 29, have about 1.1M USD with 150k cash emergency.<p>Hoping to touch grass for a few months away from a screen and remember life is worth living. I’ve spent countless years second guessing myself hunched over, studying courses, doing graduate school, breaking production, fixing production. It’s fine, but my head is elsewhere and I can’t seem to care about anything anymore.<p>Fitness wise I’m healthy, eat healthy, sleep well, workout a lot and socialize with friends.
