Hi when I planned for company switch i gave interview with Accenture and got my first offer it was 9.5LPA with 0-20% variable pay for 4.10YOE, Tech - Azure Cloud. But now it's almost end of my notice period i got good offers near to 15LPA but those are not my base location. only Accenture gave my preferred location. Will they try to match my offer? Accenture

How’s everyone doing?
I have had these exact feelings since the lockdown began. My therapist and psychiatrist have both said this is normal during crises like this. It’s such a change from normal life that our brains sometimes can’t handle it, and we begin to break down. They have both told me to just take some mental health days and practice self-care, because there’s really no other way to get through this. Self care is different for everyone, but for me it means popping open wine, watching Netflix, and putting my phone away for a few hours. Self care can mean whatever you want it to mean. Hope you can figure out what that means for you and get back to some sense of normal!
Normality will resume soon and I know you will make it through, OP!

Thank you A1!

I let myself feel blue every once in a while.
Then I set a date a bit out in the future, and meanwhile binge Netflix, drink all the wine, eat all the chocolate lava cake, laze in bed endlessly, gorge on bad food, house is a disaster and just ensure that I make myself as lavishly indulgently miserable as possible. It gets to a point where I hate it. Right around my deadline. Then the morning of my deadline, I get into military strictness levels of food, exercise, cleaning, routine and discipline. This works for me.
As a natural Type-A, by making myself so sick of the laziness, my brain is begging for and craves the discipline.
Trick your brain. Don't let your brain trick you.

Are you literally me
Omg same here.... 😭
Same here. I feel like it’s been bad for a while and I just recently hit the bottom and am slowly starting to get better. It really sucks, but understand it’s also a surprisingly normal and common thing.
I highly recommend being honest with yourself, and if possible, others. Mental health is important and it’s highly likely that many more people than you realize are also struggling. People too often just say they are fine only because they don’t feel comfortable opening up and showing weakness, despite having their own problems. That has been (and to some extent still is) me to a tee.
Make sure to spend time doing something good/healthy for yourself at least a few times a week, or daily if possible. Exercise can really help more than you realize. I hate exercising, but whenever I do it, I have to admit I do feel better afterwards. Mindfulness exercises and meditation are good too. If you can, try to talk to a therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or someone else knowledgeable enough to hear you out and help you get on a good path.
Basically, feeling burnt out or depressed is an overwhelming feeling, but it’s not permanent. You might not turn around in a day, but give yourself permission to make incremental improvements. Even if you sometimes fall back between positive steps, every positive step helps! Good luck, and know you are not alone!
Same. I can’t seem to wake up and when I’m out of bed, I find my eyes closing. I’m only eating one meal a day cuz I’m hardly awake. I was FaceTiming with my grandma and she said I’m looking like I’ve lost weight around my face. I’m immune compromised, so I’m still in pandemic mode and I think I’m mentally shutting down. I never got along with my mom, but I found myself crying the other day cuz I missed her. I was like...”what the hell is wrong with me!”

Burnout &/or Depression are natural under the pressure and stress of public and coronavirus. I hope you get some rest and talk to a professional and someone your trust about your feelings!

I felt like this early on in lockdown and then it all stared to feel normal and work was really busy and then suddenly it wasn’t. I needed the break bad, but I’ve just unable to get back into it and have been in a major funk this week, struggling at 50 percent capacity. Other lawyer and non-lawyer friends have actually said this has happened to them too right around the same time. I can’t really explain it.
OP: same here. Mine started last fall and just got worse after the lockdown. I just a fresh start. I am following this post for potential good advice.

Mine started last fall as well. Lockdown is difficult, but the silver lining for me, is that lockdown has forced me to slow down and evaluate some changes that had to be made in my life. I’m taking it one day at a time. I hope things get better for you.

Thanks all. We’re in this together, even if we don’t know it. The last few months have been a lot to deal with, and I’m learning we need to acknowledge that, and acknowledge its impact on our health and happiness. We’ll make it through this ❤️
Such a helpful thread; originally thought I was alone in feeling this way. Thank you for sharing, everyone!

Could be both. These things affect each other.

* Raises hand. What’s worst is that I started a new firm and changed my vertical, so have been drained and mentally fatigued these past two months trying to learn on the go. I perform better by engaging in person, and hate WFH. Already feel like I’m not making a best impression since I’ve been struggling to keep up. Feel like a fresh analyst all over again!
