[[Blog Index]] #blog # Preparing for a transition Perhaps it’s precipitated by the COVID Pandemic; the Lock Down and not being able to travel created a situation where we get to face ourselves (_? because we can’t distract ourselves?_). I am transitioning from the Case Management role in a mental health institute, something I have invested in for the last 12 years. I feel tired and drained. Whether it’s called Emotional Exhaustion / Empathy Fatigue or Burnt-out. I identify with this [article](https://www.betterup.com/blog/emotional-exhaustion); because of the current emotional exhaustion, I have been putting many things in my life on hold. Not good for my mental health. It’s kind of Ironic that when I help others with their mental health, I am suffering. (_Oh well, I’m human_). So it’s time to take a break. I am counting down to my exit from my current job. Gonna take a break and perhaps work part-time on something. 24 July 2022
