Hi everyone,
I’m Darius — 29, based in Madrid, working as an administrative assistant. I’m passionate about languages, global politics, coding (Python!), and sci-fi. Currently navigating burnout and career change, and hoping to connect with others who get it.

Looking forward to learning from and chatting with you all.

Welcome to WP! I hope you find relief here.

And, I think you can find some relief in well-selected science fiction...written or filmed.

wildcard_xyz, Welcome to Wrong Planet.

I noticed that you indicated that you had Asperger's Syndrome. So do I. But I am a little bit older, currently 76 years and counting.

You also said that you are suffering from burn out. I think I know what can help. Generally humans need two things to prevent burn out. These are strenuous exercise, at least 1 hour per day. And also deep sleep (REM and deep NREM sleep). At least 2 hours per night total. I have slept in a heated waterbed for over 50 years and it gives me that type of sleep, deep sleep.

Nice to meet you wildcard_xyz,

And welcome to WP!
I've just just come full circle after going through the same thing you described (burnout -> career change) and funnily enough, I'm now also studying python

kind regards,
Kada
