I am so tired of it all. I’ve barely eaten in the last 3 days and had to take a painkiller last night to fall asleep. I’m so overworked and I constantly feel like a piece of sh*t. I don’t even have the energy to move right now and feel like I will faint any minute.

Was in your shoes about a month ago. I can promise you it gets better. In the short term, try reciting what you are grateful for. Even if it’s as simple as, today I managed a deep breath. Or I heard the birds sing outside. Life is simple, the rat race makes it crazy. If you need a day away from work, please allow yourself to take it. Your body is telling you you need it! A light meal, warm tea, time spent outside and away from your stressors always helps me. Sending you good vibes OP!

Make yourself eat something, friend. Order some delivery if putting a meal together is too much effort. Speaking from experience, it’s crazy how big a difference eating can make in energy levels especially when you’ve been unhealthy because of overwork. And give yourself the day off. It’s the weekend and work can wait.

I was in your shoes over 9 months... time will heal it for surw but it also breaks you... definitely see a therapist.and don't shy away from seeking medication.
Get your brain the right hormones in the first place and then start taking steps to remain in that state.
When my mental health started to fall apart, i kept questioning where all my worldly wisdom went.. it is not that i didn't know what was wrong, it was all brain chemicals preventing me from taking action.
Take care, really! Xx

Are there analytics consulting firms still hiring that work on longer term projects (i.e. 3-6 months)?

I don't mind traveling, but would appreciate a firm that has some flexibility on where my home base is.

I want to know if anyone else feels like I do: I’ve been on 3 projects (1.5 years) and don’t feel “liked” or valued. I try to authentically connect with others and do my best work on every project team, but nothing seems to work. Even more frustrating are consistently subpar performance reviews, which make me doubt myself and my intelligence/worth. I feel absolutely useless here and can’t operate from a deficit. It’s like I’m like a fish trying to be a bird. Please help, what should I do?

I just realized that I have never really followed my heart. In fact, in the past 30 years, all I did was to persuade myself to ignore what my heart said and to stick with what my brain deemed as ‘the right choice’. Lived my whole life trying to fulfill others’ expectations and to maintain my image in front of others. Never took a step back to self reflect what I really wanted.
