Mountain Goat thanks for the explanation. I've heard this is a big problem with socialized Healthcare. I didn't really put it together, I'm a bit scatter brained lately.
I've heard stories about Canada and how people have died waiting months for emergency procedures. Sorry your mom hasn't been able to get the care she needs. If we lived in one of these places my mom would probably be dead. Not trying to be dramatic or political its just reality. And honestly it terrifies me because the US is trying to do the same thing. Apparently people don't learn from history or others mistakes and think if they're in charge the outcome will be different. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

My Mum was seen to eventually. Our healthcare system is good in many ways. We have free access to most of it which is the fundamental principle behind it as prior to it being introduced back in 1948, the poorer classes had little or no access to healthcare.

Ok. Got it. Here even the low income can get care. Even before they started to change the system. Its actually harder now than it was before. Some people I know who were able to see the docs they needed to before cant now. And they are below the poverty line before and after the change. So, like everything it depends on the circumstances. The people I have met personally have had terrible experiences, some were from US and some Canada . So its just my perception of what I've encountered. Sorry, I offended the place you live, I didn't mean to. It just scares me from what I've seen. Well maybe its a bit more than scares me. I've watched my mom almost die 3 times, which is a bit traumatic. So the idea of my mom waiting to get seen or treated by a dr in a timely manner is kinda my worst nightmare.

Our healthcare here varies. We do have private as well but it costs a lot so is out of reach of most families.

My last hard hitting burnout (breakdown?) was in september 2019. I have still not recovered. I am in a semi fragile stage as I write. All I know to aid recovery is to try to avoid stress, but this is not easy.
Anyone experienced this? How many years did it take to recover?

What exactly do you mean by this? Well for the most part the main symptoms of burnout for me go away after 3-6 months. but I don't know if I'd say i fully recover from burnout. The problem with burnout is the further you go down into burnout the easier it is to dig deeper.

I relate much to what's been said in this thread about physical pains and exhaustion. Same with memory and processing issues, I got more 'spaced out' after each. My executive functioning is also shot since my last burnout. It's better than it was while still in that burnout phase, but none of those things have fully come back and I don't think they ever will. I think I went and did too much damage to myself trying to push through life, suck it up and so on.

Yes, I think you summed it up perfectly! That's definitely what has happened in my life, just didn't know how to phrase it properly.

I experienced my fragile stage back in the spring and summer of 2016. I didn't visit my parents for 4 months because of the emotional abuse that my mum was giving me. I got over it and started visiting them again in Mid-September that year.
