Try to be brief. Not sure if for here.
Been working none stop in same industry for 17 years. Swapped positions, took some pay cuts to get the experience. A lot (that’s an understatement) of over time. I got a good paying job now. But I’m mentally burnt out from what I’ve gone through. I don’t feel like I am right for the role.
Worse, I have no motivation, things I enjoy I struggle to focus on. Work occupies my mind.
Work is now busy again I’m back to doing OT.
I want to quit but I can’t (mortgage).
If I did, I don’t know what else (job wise) I would do. Starting off again. I don’t know if I’m mentally prepared for that.
Switching to another company I know it’ll be the same.
I feel stuck in a circle.
Does anyone know a way to mentally recover? Excerise helps a little but I feel more drained afterwards but mentally and physically. Tried all this listening to things while sleeping. But I can’t find a way out.
