I tend to overwork myself and it’s really taking a toll on my mental well-being. I want to learn a lot and prove myself to my superiors so that they recognize me/see value. Now my work has a sense of dread to it. I watched my parents be workaholics growing up, so it’s all I know. I’m also goal-oriented and driven, so achieving a lot scratches that itch for me. But, it’s making me want to quit cause I’m burned out and depressed….im not sure what to do. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Join the anxiety/depression bowl. Lots of great tips there
Medication, therapy, meditation, reminding myself that work/productivity doesn’t define my worth as a person
If you have been in a similar situation before and have either recovered from it or not, think about what happened and why/how that happened last time. Your survival instinct will kick in.
Trying to figure this out as well… I practice meditation, eat well, exercise frequently, and see a therapist but still find myself anxious very frequently. Been a constant battle for years.
Meditations themed on confidence and gratitude have been helpful to me. Also having a cheerleader/getting a little pep talk from a close friend or coworker can help. Now don’t seek a daily pep talk, but if you have a big presentation coming up maybe confide in a friend who’s pepped you up in the past. You got this!
I take zoloft, but I got on it because I couldn’t sleep. I try to get off of it, but I get dizzy so.. sucks
