Burnout Recovery Day 1: Signed Off Work

I'm Dr Behrooz Behbod, a UK public health doctor and wellbeing specialist. I have been officially signed off work with burnout. I am sharing my real-time experience to help anyone else struggling today. Dealing with burnout is incredibly isolating, and I wanted to be honest about what this process actually looks like. If you have been signed off work or feel like you are approaching a breaking point, this video is a space to process those feelings. I am walking through my personal journey, explaining how I reached this point and what it feels like to step away from my responsibilities. My goal is to offer some perspective for anyone navigating professional exhaustion or mental health challenges. By sharing my burnout recovery journey, I hope to provide comfort to those who feel alone in their experience. Understanding the signs of burnout is the first step toward healing, and I hope my story helps you identify what you might be going through. In this episode, I reflect on what led to burnout, why I chose to share the experience publicly, and what others can do to support someone going through burnout recovery.
