Herzzerreißende Geschichte über die Freundschaft zweier Kinder und dem Versuch mit den Eltern klarzukommen oder sie zu retten. Ungewöhnlich gut und glaubhaft erzählt für das #ZDF. Nur am Ende habe ich etwas #Kritik. Die Sechzehnjährige reagiert am Ende etwas zu lebenserfahren für ihr Alter als sie dem Kleinen Mut macht. Der Therapieplatz geht viel zu schnell. In unserer Gesellschaft wartet man doch als Kassenpatient mindestens 1 Jahr oder verglich, um eine in dem Film angedeutete #Therapie zu erhalten.

Letztendlich hat jeder seine Sollbruchstelle und die #Pandemie wird die Gesellschaft eher kränker, sodass #Burnout und Depressionen, die schon jetzt kaum behandelt werden können noch ein echtes #Problem werden. Aber was wollen wir von unserer Regierung erwarten, die den #Pflegenotstand auch nur verwaltet anstatt ihn zu lösen.

There’s a Name for the Blah You’re #Feeling: It’s Called #Languishing

At first, I didn’t recognize the symptoms that we all had in common. Friends mentioned that they were having trouble concentrating. Colleagues reported that even with vaccines on the horizon, they weren’t excited about 2021. A family member was staying up late to watch “National Treasure” again even though she knows the movie by heart. And instead of bouncing out of bed at 6 a.m., I was lying there until 7, playing Words with Friends. It wasn’t #burnout — we still had #energy. It wasn’t #depression — we didn’t feel hopeless. We just felt somewhat #joyless and #aimless. It turns out there’s a name for that: languishing.

There’s a Name for the Blah You’re Feeling: It’s Called Languishing

The neglected middle child of mental health can dull your motivation and focus — and it may be the dominant emotion of 2021.

Compassion fatigue (BBC: The Documentary)

Compassion fatigue has long been an issue for people in the medical and humanitarian professions. People often enter those worlds because of a desire to care, and to be compassionate towards others, but often compassion is tested to the limits. What does compassion fatigue mean for both those suffering from emotional burnout, and those on the receiving end?

We hear from doctors, humanitarians, and experts who explain why compassion is a finite resource. While compassion can motivate us, using it up can lead to disaster and disconnect.

We explore whether a diet of death and destruction turns people away from news, and if shock advertising works for charities, or if it just adds to a feeling of helplessness and inaction. We ask if social media has further eroded our sense of compassion to strangers, and if compassion is even necessary online, where the rules seem so different to those offline.

We also hear from climate activists who argue that we need to move away from shock campaigning and “flies in the eyes” advertising, and reinforce the individual’s responsibility to affect change at a local level. But, is this realistic, and does pulling at the heartstrings actually lead to the most impactful outcomes?

An excellent piece I caught in passing a few days ago, re-listening now and downloaded for archival.

Compassion and fatigue are intrinsically linked. Compassion results in fatigue, fatigue disables compassion. Strong emphasis on healthcare and social service roles, but broadly applicable elsewhere. How to remain engaged, empathic, effective, and sane.

The compassion-fatigue relation strikes me as a companion to the agency-stress dichotomy: agency and stress are inverses.

Preparedness and Burnout

Ed Yong on Thursday's Fresh Air, and in particular this passage at about 47m35s:

Earlier this year I spoke to a woman named Nicolette Louissant who works on preparedness. She talked about how people who work on preparadness see tragedy coming well ahead of anyone else, so they're already worried before it happens, then they rush to deal with it when it happens. When things calm down they can see the scars of the period of tragedy. They're always looking at the worst-case scenarious straight in the face for a long period of time without respite.

This seems the perfect recipe for burnout, and one numerous technical professionals can relate to. The Cassandra curse, of seeing trouble coming, being right about it, and still not being believe or heeded, is especially harmful.

Yong's earlier conversation with Dr. Louissant is the topic of this Atlantic article: "The Pandemic Experts Are Not Okay" (July 2020).
