Same. Whether you are taking time off or not. The fact that we have no idea if there is anything to look forward to creates the feeling of dread and boredom.

Yes and nothing seems to help. I’m working out more, eating clean but still enjoying my favorite foods in moderation, getting enough sleep, FaceTiming friends & even went on a mini getaway and I still feel so mentally drained. I’m dreading work tomorrow, despite everyone at work being so kind.

Was feeling that way for a while, took a week off. Feeling a little better now but exhaustion is right around the corner again. My workload is ok, it’s mostly mental.

Seriously man I’m worried about the mental state of our nation. Imagine how people without jobs and money feel right now if we are suffering with them. My mental health has been straight trash. Fighting the good fight every day.

I think a lot more people are feeling drained and exhausted with everything being virtual, the days being more monotonous, no travel, constant anxiety about the world around us, nothing to look forward to and no certainty about anything.

It’s absolutely exhausting and so frustrating to start with - then add an already high stress career...

Strength to everyone!

Be glad you’ve got a job! I’m unemployed right now because of the pandemic (not actually self employed) and am going crazy sitting on the sidelines. I would kill to be pulling all nighters for some neurotic client on a bullshit project.

In no way is that meant to belittle what you’re feeling—you’re going through a hard time, and that sucks. But I’ve always found solace in perspective when dealing with negative emotion and hope my case might offer you some.

Guys, complaining about work won’t make things better. Please cut that out. We have more pressing things to worry about. I understand workload may be too much but when has complaining ever solved anything?

It’s unhealthy to avoid sharing feelings, unhealthy to not discuss our mental state - even if the triggers are small relative the world’s larger problems. Complaining is very different from being stressed. You can’t just tell someone that’s dealing with stress and anxiety to “cut it out”.

I forgot to take my medicine today. I realized it once I got into the office. I noticed my brain is extra sluggish and cloudy. So I checked my emergency at-work pills and I forgot to bring more. It would take over an hour to go home for meds and come back to work. I hate getting in these situations trying to figure out if I just stick it out at work, drive home and back to work, or call it a lost day and go home and back to sleep. It’s so frustrating that one change in routine can ruin the day.
