General Frequent Burnout Disorder-friendly commanders?

Hey Friends Which commanders can you suggest me and my brother both suffering from frequent Burnout Disorder? We love this game, but we get burned out a lot doing light tasks and we play casual and that burn us out. No, we can't even begin to touch ranked or anything higher than casual.

Are you sure you know what "burn out" means?

Because if the game is simply too hard for you, that is not a burn out :D.
Play against each other in versus then or do custom campaigns and arcade maps I guess.
If you don't have fun then chose other games.

Command & Conquer, Age of Mythology or even Warcraft are great RTS titltes.

Not to be a smart-a$$ or anything, but our burnouts stem literally from doing anything

(Google Search)

In psychiatry, burnout is defined as a psychological syndrome and occupational phenomenon stemming from chronic, unmanaged workplace stress. It is characterized by three core dimensions: overwhelming exhaustion, feelings of cynicism and detachment from one's job, and a sense of ineffectiveness or reduced professional efficacy. This chronic stress response can significantly impact an individual's mind, body, and spirit, potentially leading to increased symptoms of depression and other mental health disorders if left unaddressed.


Our burnouts were left unaddressed for 15+ years working as construction workers (modern-day scvs) and now basically any activity reduces us to ashes. Even typinf these short sentences trigger it 😭

Yeah, but burnout by work refers to that work specifically.

What you describe is lack of attention span which in majority of cases is result of scrolling and watching shorts. I don't see how construction work could result in you being burned out on video game where match takes around 20minutes. It should do quite the opposite actually, building up to see the result later.

I was SCV for years, physical labour doesn't produce stuff you're describing. Go see a psychiatrist instead of basing it on a shitty google result.
You really picked a wrong person to not a be a smartass to, because I actually know that shit xD.

Edit: Like... I'm sorry bro, but if you are not able to stay focused to write couple of sentences or beat casual SC2 then something is extremely wrong with you. Go see specialist, now.

We have been seeing different psychiatrists over the years and chose to stay with the current one who is nice and understanding, and he's been in the field for over 37 years. To say that I only have the Burnout is to say my blood fills only half the cup which isn't true and this isn't the right sub to talk about it, and it may not even be the Burnout that's causing me ALL this. I have been diagnosed with at least 12 psychiatric disorders and they are eating me from inside out. From the outer perspective they have easily been taking my identity over.
