Q Even after I recover, I'm afraid I'll collapse again once I go back to the office. Can relapse be prevented?
A If you return to the same environment and work the same way, relapse is likely. If you raise your overall energy reserve during recovery and re-establish boundaries between work and rest, you can create a state that holds up better under the same pressures.
Detailed Answer
Burnout carries a risk of recurrence if the stressful environment that caused it remains unchanged. That's why redesigning "how you will work" matters as much as recovery itself. Resting before you burn out, setting boundaries between work and personal life, and knowing how to ask for help are key to preventing relapse.
