Mega burnout is burnout that has escalated past the point where normal recovery strategies apply — it's not a weekend-rest situation, it's a life-restructuring one. The person in mega burnout isn't just tired; they've lost motivation, identity investment, and sometimes the ability to enjoy the things they used to love. It's the stage where 'just take a break' advice bounces off uselessly because no amount of short rest can address the scale of what's been depleted.
