I'm experiencing it bad right now. Some of the stuff causing me to feel stressed will pass with time but I'm feeling awful now :/

I can't take more than a day off from work, which might be pushing it anyway, and I have so much work to do in the next week (possibly weeks? Idk yet)

Even weird advice would be appreciated kitty-cri

    • limited IRL social contact - social interactions really burn me out due to having to mask (autistically, not covid masking)
    • focusing on self care - i know this isnt really typical of goblin mode but ignoring the needs of others and spending all my energy on taking care of myself. i stop caring about work and other obligations so I can focus on recovery. showering, eating, etc before doing anything else
    • cutting down on hobbies / replacing them with NEET stuff. video games, TV, etc all the classic depression hobbies are low effort and make brain chemicals go brrr
    • girl dinners and depression meals - eating well does help you feel better but cooking takes a lot of energy for me because i really enjoy doing it and if i put the effort in i'll spend hours making elaborate food. ideally find easy to make and healthy meals.

        i think the only non goblin mode part of this is the self care stuff, people usually let that slip but i think its the only thing worth prioritising when burnt. tho when googling goblin mode it seems to fit with some definitions.
