Burnout / Mental Health / When to know something is wrong...
There's been a lot of threads that have touched on mental health / burnout during the pandemic. But I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on general burnout / mental health related struggles they've experienced throughout their time in finance, in particular from banking / PE / HF roles. How common would you say people in these jobs suffer from general mental health issues? What do people think are the short-term and long-term impacts? When did you realize that you were not just sad or going through a stressful period but actually suffering in a chronically problematic situation? Any advice is appreciated, thank you.
Bump - I don't have any insights personally but hope you get some good answers / help
If you arrive at your desk, turn on your computer and can’t do anything other than stare at the screen...you are burnt out. Need to take time out to recover.
I also find it is helpful to have a reset routine to remind (pretend??) that things are under control.
If you struggle to get started on any assignment, get annoyed for every task you are asked to do, then you need a long break or a change of scenario.
I think we all go through bad moments, so this is not uncommon and sometimes we just need to take a break and see things from a different perspective
