I mean I'm not objecting to that necessarily, more the idea that you should share your mental state with your employer, or complete strangers on the internet and this is healthy and good (destigmatize mental illness). I don't particularly think it is, and perhaps it's healthier to have the employer/employee relationship or the internet creator/consumer remain at some distance. Your employer and audience are not your friends or family.

Ehh I conflated two points really initially by bring up the objection to the burnout labeling, which is your side-track.
