Why this path exists

Burnout can make escape feel like clarity. This path separates recovery evidence, role-fit evidence, support needs, money and privacy boundaries, and job-search pacing before the reader treats a hard week as the whole choice.

How to move through it

Do not open every link. Use the stage that matches the current choice and move only when the exit question has an answer.

When to pause

Pause the path and seek qualified support when the pattern is severe, unsafe, or affecting daily functioning.
