Katkenneita lankoja by Anssi Vieruaho and Karoliina Korhonen is a Finnish comic book collection of short comic stories about burnout by various Finnish comic artists.
Its first story, Tuisku Hiltunen’s Herätys 7:00 (Wake up at 7:00am), hit me hard. It’s a perfect metaphore of my own burnout experiences and how overwhelming things get and how everything piles up into an unsurmountable obstacle and how things just get harder and harder.
All the others were good in their own way too but none of them hit as hard as the first one. It’s a great showcase of how burnout is a different experience to everyone and how there are so many ways it can affect you and feel like.
Wonderful book. Impactful.
