I'm either already in or hurling towards severe burnout. I keep having shutdowns at work. I feel like I can't do anything outside of work. All my free time feels as if it's spent on recovering. I sleep for like 10 hours a day and still wake up tired.
I've been wanting to work on some portfolio stuff so I can maybe one day escape this job, and I want to work on some personal projects rattling inside my head, but it's just so hard. I can't even focus on my special interests and hobbies im just so tired.
My job isn't particularly hard. I get paid pretty well for the area I live in, especially as a newbie. I even live with my parents at the moment, and they don't charge rent. I don't even interact with many people during the day and I can use my headphones to shut out the worst of it.
But god, my nerves just feel raw, everything threatens to send me over the edge. I feel so WRONG all the time
Things feel just so miserable, futile, at the moment. Everything is just so overwhelming and imagining life just being like this forever is a little rough. I have so many dreams, so many things I want to do. I feel like there isn't enough time.
I'm told that life isn't work but you work to support things you want in life. But work has encased my entire life, no matter how little I try to care.
Does anyone have any tips or advice or just little things that got them through it?
