Do you think doing telehealth part or full time has reduced your burnout or exhaustion? At this point I'm thinking of taking a few months off to recuperate but I'm wondering if doing telehealth would allow me to work while getting more rest.

You probably don't want to hear this, but you probably need the time off. When you come back maybe try telehealth to avoid ending up back where you are now. I would take at least a month off and work with your own therapist & doctor until you're feeling better.

I am 100% telehealth and I am tired, but IMO is so much better than commuting to the office. Less time wasted, less rushing around, less stress in traffic, less time sick. But I know therapists that cant sit at a computer all day and would rather commute. It's worth a try, but you may need the time off.

I’m not sure what type of setting you are working in but I have one day a week of telehealth in a primary care setting seeing clients back to back for 30 min sessions and I feel equally tired on those telehealth days unfortunately. It helps a little I can hang out at home during my lunch break but still tiring for me

I think a clean break might be more effective. Think sabbatical.

Telehealth is as exhausting too. But if you think that you really need a break, don't stop yourself from taking a few months off from work. Going back after a good rest will make you even more productive.

I really liked the flexibility I got with working remotely and being able to set my own hours. Not commuting ended up saving me a lot of time too!

I think a clean break is important before you go back into it. Telehealth can be pretty beneficial since you set up better boundaries, but that can depend

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak.

I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?
