I wish I could feature comments. As someone who is still going through burnout recovery, what you and @UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world are saying are both true and important for people to realize.
The only thing I would like to add is that recovery can and will take a very long time, and people need to allow themselves patience and grace during this process.
Therapy helps, and even if you can’t afford it, ask your therapist of choice if they have a sliding scale rate. This is a rate they charge based on what you can afford. It doesn’t cost anything to at least ask.
But anhedonia often spoils the enjoyment of low-pressure, familiar activities.
What’s more, the activities available are themselves often a source of burnout, stress, and depression. Case in point, alcohol consumption or TV/game binges can be a short-term source of relief but a long term contributor to a sense of isolation and despair.
Fish don’t eat a lot of earthworms. They eat other aquatic animals. So, in the last panel, they’d more likely be eating the guy in the casket than a plate full of earthworms.

as someone who has worked in a pet store, this is accurate.

My aquarium confirms this. If a fish dies it’s usually bones before I find it
