I had my psychiatry appt today. She has changed my meds a little and added a different ADHD medication to see if that improves some of my executive dysfunction. Also, she has told me that I'm not to work at all for two weeks at least. She was appalled that I've never taken more than two days off in a row in the last eight plus years. Even my 'vacations' are work trips. Even when I am not writing, I'm answering emails, taking classes, doing research, etc. She wants me to do nothing work related for 14 days which sounds like hell to me.

All that to say I'll be back in a couple of weeks. I appreciate everyone encouraging me to take a break but I wanted to check in so you all know I'm not sitting in the corner eating my hair or something. I'm burnt out, a little depressed, etc but I'm going to spend a few days bed rotting and watching k-dramas and see if that helps at all. If you have any recommendations for bingable stuff, throw them in the comments. I've watched The Glory, Marry My Husband, Business Proposal, When the Phone Rings, Study Group, Night has Come and Flower of Evil as well as pretty much every BL ever but I'm open to suggestion.

Enjoy your time relaxing and spending time taking care of you! We will be here whenever you are ready to come back! ❤️

Shelby Holder

Good, I’ve been worried about you and glad you can take time for yourself! If you get too bored, you can still chat with us on here and talk about random things to let off steam. My ADHD brain loves talking about nonsense and theories for some of my favorite things 😂

M.

What's wrong with secretary Kim? Hospital Playlist My favorite k dramas^ Bon appetite, your majesty (on netflix) My mom's current favorite.^

Charlie459!!

Hope you enjoy your time off !!! Enjoy your kdramas !! We will all be waiting whenever you’re ready <33

Kelly M Tuanau

Enjoy your break you workaholic😁😘🥰🫂I swear Atticus is here somewhere scolding you for over working😅😌

Amanda Becker

Have a good 2 weeks off! Sorry, I don't watch k-dramas so I can't help.

My favorite live action Japanese is midnight diner on Netflix. But listening to the doctor is a great idea. Binge some shows, eat more junk food then is healthy and recoup. It might seem hard but maybe pick up a craft you haven't given your self time to play with. We will miss you but we will wait for you to come back and be happy to see you!!

Judye Nazareth

Enjoy. Take time for yourself. Maybe take up a new hobby.

Nicole Rickert

Have a lovely break and get lots of rest! I really enjoyed I-land, which is the survival show that formed Enhypen.

Trae

In so behind on my reading that I’ll probably just try to catch up while you rest! My daughter loved Yuri on Ice

Melissa Tarrington

If you watch C dramas too I got really sucked into Pursuit of Jade 😂. I also really like Cleaning with a passion for now. It was cute.

MM

I think you'd love "Idol, I" ... murder! k-pop! But I also love "our blues" if you want something like, soap-y.

AM Olson

This is probably going to sound pretty weird, but if you get tired of vegging out and are looking for something totally different to do. Check out MIT's Opencourseware programs. Say learn the fundamentals of programming or for a real head trip, Noam Chomsky has a lecture series on linguistics. Yes, that Noam Chomsky. He actually founded modern formal linguistics. Might be a bit like the wasabi cure for a stuffy nose, but it does clear the sinuses ... or your whole brain. Also, if you can get a hold of any of the old Modern Scholar lectures, they were incredible and great to listen to while doing things like needlework. What? I can not sit and do nothing. Have to keep my hands, mind and eyes busy or they go off and get into trouble. I just got off a 5 year stint of 24/7 home health care for someone with dementia. I'm awesome at keeping my squirrels out of the intake vent.

I have some K-Dramas from my high school days 10 years ago that I still think about. Like I still listen to the sound track from the k-drama your beautiful. My roommate and I had nicknames for everyone except the one with the American name……who turned out to be the lead singer of FT Island If you’re talking somewhat recent I really enjoyed Extraordinary Attorney Woo

Kate

Take the break. Whoever said if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life was an idiot or was selling something. Take the break and see if it helps you find some balance. The world will be here when you’re back. It’s relentless like that. Feel free to be relentless right back.

Christina Overholt

Heated Rivalry! I'm on season 37 of it and it's only 6 episodes long lol.

Jayce

yes! im glad youre taking some time off! you deserve it. I dont watch BL, but if some suggestions for shows I love - From, The Pitt, Deadloch (this is an Australian show pls give it a chance), The Traitors (UK or US its a reality show) or Bob's Burgers (my comfort animated show)

TheKittyMommy3

Not BL but The Great and Lonely God (I think) is on my to watch list, even bought the DVD.

love-bookswillbetheendofme

Glad you are able to take a break and rest! I love the Netflix movie series of "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" and the k-drama-like spin off show "XO, Kitty"

Tanae

Enjoy your time off!

Brittany Lozano

Enjoy your break, we will be here. Self care is important ❤️

Omg! I literally just finished watching the kdrama called "alchemy of souls" its so worth it 😭 they so funny and I love the romance elements too as well as the drama they be having going on 🤣🤣 Kdrama: King the land Alchemy of souls Bloodhounds Hometown cha cha cha My holo love Also anime (bl): Sasaki to miyano Mo dao zu shi Tuan guan ci fu No.9 Bl(shows) Kinporsche Not me Love in the air Moonlight chicken Pitbabe My love mix-up! The eclipse The heart killers A tale of thousand stars Onlyfriends Reading(bl): Karla nikole Asiah bosier Cassandra clare Anime(romance/crime ish): Apothecary diaries Kamisama kiss Romantic killer Maid-sama I also personally occupy myself with: invincible and miraculous ladybug Currently watching Pokémon horizons (because y not🤷🏾‍♀️..lol) I also got bl recommendations for manga too..some good artists and authors out there to spend a bunch of time reading. Awesome stories and adorable couples ☺️🥰 Id totally give you a couple if you read those things! Anywaysss... Try to enjoy it even thought it sounds boring. I know it sucks to sit still when you're usually so overactive all the time...but you have to remember that its good for you to "put yourself in time out" from time to time to "cool down". You're not a machine and you CANNOT work yourself into an early grave bc we all love you and you've made too many friends around the world to burn yourself out. Know that your fans care about you too even as a "stranger" we haven't met. Its preferable that you take breaks for yourself...but if you cant take breaks for yourself then take breaks for others ❣️ Also if money isnt tight then do some type of stimulating activity ( if your brain allows it). Personally I love escape rooms, axe throwing, etc. (Ofc everyone has their different preferences) ...but if you enjoy bedrotting then its also something I love and do. My psych asked me if I do anything fun...and I told her bedrotting and gaming...It sounds bad but it brings me joy and thats all that matters in life 😂😅 I hope you can also enjoy some of those shows and your time to yourself 🤗 we will see you when you get back! <3

Theresa Who

Coming to the comments to steal recs, I know we’ve all got excellent taste

Katherine L Schlem

Not k-drama. But when I need cheer I watch both Legally Blonde movies for some light uplifting stuff. For comedy, I suggest the two Addams Family movies with Angelica Houston and Raul Julia. Enjoy! And breathe!

Kylie

Crash landing on you, Hospital Playlist, Hometown chachacha

JunkAnimeGRX

Completely understandable. Your Psych is bang on ‼️ You are burnt out. Please take care of yourself. We will still be here cheering you on. 💕

guardian.angel54

Have you seen Love in the Air? It's a BL drama and one of my absolute favorites. I can share my YouTube link to the series if you'd like.

guardian.angel54

The other one that I love is Until We Meet Again. Also BL drama.

Aimi Yokaiko

How have you not yet watched Boys Over Flowers?! I feel like that's a K-Drama staple haha. Still I'm happy to hear that you are taking some time to yourself! You gotta vacay girl. Mr. Fanboy (though it's not a k-drama), and My Personal Weatherman~

Lozzy

Take care of you Onley! 🩷

Theresa Derwin

I love Sweet Home and GyeongSeong Creature

Theresa Derwin

Do rest up if you can. My sister uses tapping. We will be here x

Amelia

yay for chilling out! i'd recommend something to watch but i haven't been able to find anything, lol

Candice L. Chapman

Thanks for letting us know! Do as the doctor says! 🫶🫶🫶

AudioAddict

Thank goodness your psych doctor has some sense and isn't afraid to tell you what's what! Burn out is really a thing and can wreck something you love. Since you don't know how NOT to work, you can use this time off as a learning tool on how stepping away makes you better at what you do when you return. Your sick body will thank you, too! Obviously, your fan club will still be here when you are ready to return. Do not fear! Now, go have a bubble bath and some chocolate 😁.

Ashlyn41

Watch Sense8. You'll love it.

Vitalia Muzyka

For my burnouts rotting in bed usually doesn't help. What helps is to go for a long walks, hiking or rafting. I am not active person at all, but when burnout comes, I just do something of this activities for 3-4 days and it really helps to reboot.

Nat

Take care life can be hard at times i also have adhd and depression on and off for many years burnout is very debilitating, just try and take some you time and not to be so hard on yourself. You may have seen kdrama mr queen I personally laughed so hard and loud and this one. A drama which is different but quite lovely is my beautiful man. Take care of yourself x x 💜

outside crying

rakuten has a "based on webtoons" collection. haven't had a flop yet. anything off that list is bingeable imo.

Saltedcaramelmochi

Please take good care of yourself. As for BL I can recommend to you: Duang with You - super cute, complete und perfect for binging Love Upon A Time - slow paced but sooo beautiful and it's so interesting to see 16th century Thailand My Romance Scammer - A total fun watch

Gem 💜

I really enjoyed Goddess Bless You, My Stubborn, Kinn Porsche and Kemjuri 💜 I don’t think they are K drama’s but so good! They are on YouTube in silly little short clips but they are also all on IQ

Tanya Veitch

Have you watched Paradise on Hulu (pretty sure that’s the platform) it’s AMAZING and I’m completely hooked. Also Pluribus on Apple was great. Friends and Neighbors is fun. I’ll try to think of others. Please listen to her and take the break. Everyone needs time off. Love you sister!!!

Zalika Burson

Yes, take a break. Ypu have given and given to us and as muchbas qe appreciate every bit of it, we also want you to be healthy and okay. I haven't watched any BLs recently. But I am currently watching the Perfect Crown on Hulu, Hyper Kinife on Hulu and i recently finished Pursuit of Jade on Netflix

Mell

Take some time for yourself a burnout is not fun. We will wait for you to get better and love you all the more for it. 😘

Onley James

Loved it. Watched it when it first came out.

Onley James

Loved duang with you and my romance scammed. Have not been able to get into love upon a time.

Onley James

I love my personal weatherman. It was my inspo for writing learning curve.

Onley James

I watched all but goddess bless you from death which is on my watch list.

Aimi Yokaiko

OH MY GODDESSES that makes me want to go back and rewatch it

Krissy K

Have you ever read Manhwa? If not, I highly recommend.

Krissy K

I didn't even know it was a thing until last year so I'm still trying to find finished ones because my brain cannot keep up with 40 different ones 😂 but Beyond The Memories and Cry Me a River really stuck with me. Both are darker so if you have any triggers, I'd look them up!

Onley James

Here are my faves. Painter of the Night, Semantic Error, Cherry Blossoms After Winter NC version, Love is an Illusion, Low Tide in Twilight (very N C though) Man if Virtue, Silk Over Steel, Saturdays Master, Yours to Claim (ABO), Wolves Behind Bars (ABO) Insecret (ABO) Love Me Not, The Dangerous Convenience Store

Dawn

It can be hard to do nothing sometimes. Love is Poison on Netflix is so cute and funny BL. The plants were the cutest. Yes plants. 🪴

Edward Wajs

Real, the burnout is. Rest, you must! Wait, we can. -yoda

Saltedcaramelmochi

I can really recommend it! Like I saif really slow paced but beautiful. Also not a BL and a bit older, but Mama Gogo was really good. It just had the right amount of cringe, comedy and wholesomeness for me. Also we see some of our boys like Earth, Toptap, Mike, Joss, Pod, Drake, Gunsmile etc.

Emma Harrod

"Riot Women." It's not a K drama, but it's fantastically freeing. Loved it.

Aninha

Oh, eu amo o k drama "juvenile justice"! Se trata de uma juíza com alguns segredos do passado que julga crianças que cometeram algum crime.

Fyrebanshee

happy rotting and resting Onley 💕💕💕 Tail of the Nine tailed is so good and Lee Dong-Wook is😮‍💨😮‍💨

Krys

If you’re still looking for something to binge - All Of Us Are Dead - a South Korean zombie apocalypse in a high school and it’s the first show I watched & kept my attention, let alone binged, besides Hazbin Hotel in 6 or 7 years. Oh, and and also Hazbin Hotel itself 🤌🏽🤣

Onley James

I love All of Us Are Dead. Zomvivor is pretty good too. Out of Thailand.
