What's it like dealing with burnout in a Singapore corporate job?

Been there, corporate pressure cooker, dreading Mondays, running on empty. Here's what pulled me out. Step one was medical, I saw a GP because I was genuinely unwell physically from the stress, and that legitimised taking it seriously. Step two, boundaries, I renegotiated my workload with my boss, delegated, and stopped being available 24/7, guilt and all. Step three, rebuilding the basics burnout had wrecked, proper sleep, movement, and social connection outside work. Step four, honest reflection on whether the role was salvageable, for me a move within the company to a saner team helped. On the culture, yes SG glorifies the grind, but I've learned the people who last are the ones who protect their energy, not the ones who martyr themselves. Don't suck it up till you break. Get help early, set limits, and remember no job is worth your health. It does get better once you act.
