Anyone else burnt out mentally even with meds? I’m sleeping, eating well, working out every day, on a low dose of meds but my motivation is in the trash. Take frequent breaks too. Brain feels tired

omg me too! just hit me today (or rather it crept up gradually to a point where i finally registered it 😂)

was reading some articles that say to go even easier on yourself during the time of pandemic. that now we're under constant low level stress that still saps our thinking and motivation (e.g. worrying about are my groceries clean, is it ethical to order online, how can i safely go outside, are my loved ones safe, etc.).

on the more medical side, are you getting enough sun / vitamin D?

But how do you convey that to a team/manager who has expectations for you to keep going? I hit a wall late in the day around 530pm and that is often when my boss wants to talk and convey updates that inform work I need to finish that evening, but I waste so much time trying to run on no energy when I could just do it the next day more rapidly once I’m recharged

I just got promoted but feel like I can’t celebrate. I got broken up with a few weeks ago so I don’t have the person I thought I’d be celebrating with. I’m still anxious about Covid 19 and what the winter will look like. I’m scared for my friends with upcoming layoffs. I have no idea if I’m living in the right city anymore. It all just feels so overwhelming - should I go to therapy? Am I overthinking everything?
