Burnt out

So I will preface this with I love my job. But, so many people have left (better opportunities/maternity leave/ etc) recently, that now I have to take on their work. I'm not the only one. We are all doing the work of 3 people. All my new work is work not in my department (I just know my way around the system, so they can rely on me). I am in my second year at this place. My own work load tripled after I showed I could handle it my first year, then all the people leaving, they asked if I could temporarily take on more work- this was 6 months ago. Someone else just left and I was asked to take on even more. Some of her accounts were huge (I think bigger than they realized-she was def undervalued and I support her decision to leave). It's so much…

It's so much and I just feel burned out.

I won't leave. I like my company, colleagues, and job.

I just wish there were 3 more of me I guess.
