I know I’m very lucky to have my job right now. However I’m conflicted and unmotivated because we’ve been busier than ever and I’m getting so burnt out. No raises or promotions so it’s making it really hard to stay positive/hopeful/ excited for the future. Any advice on how to shake this off and stay focused?

I am 100% with you and in the same boat. It sucks. My advice would be to try and focus on things you enjoy outside of work when you have free time, as much as you possibly can. You are not your job, you’re a dynamic person with interests outside of work (whether you know it or not). In my experience, the more fulfilled I am outside of work, the more fulfilled I am in general.

Boundaries are key! Make sure that you’re carving out time for you - some for fun, but also some to explore what you want your professional future to look like. Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket.

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
