Does a vacation actually fix it?

Does a vacation actually fix it? Or do you come back feeling exactly the same?

Sometimes we blame our 9-to-5 for a "heavy heart" that’s actually clinical depression. Other times, we think we’re "broken" when we just need a serious boundary shift at work.

Which one resonated with you most? Let’s talk in the comments. 👇 #burnout #anxiety #viral #goviral #fyp
