I want to stay in this job, but I’m completely drained. Every day, I come home exhausted, unable to do anything but sleep or lie on the couch. I’ve lost the energy to handle basic tasks and have abandoned my hobbies because I can’t focus on anything other than work.

How do I stop carrying all of this on my shoulders without leaving the job?

I’ve started taking it out at the gym. It’s helped with putting more energy into the weights or cardio so that I can handle the work stress a lot better. I’ve started doing it in the mornings to get it out the way. I think of it as getting my biggest mountain out the way first with my best energy of the day, and then thinking of work stress as secondary. It’s really a mindset thing so it will take some time, and a bit of trial and error, but that’s what has been working for me.

If you are real, you are on here complaining all the time about the people you work with and you are director level. You just had another post about someone smelling like burnt popcorn. Find a new job!

Is there anything you can automate? I don’t mean sending everything through AI, but templates you can rely on or constant checklists, so not every task needs a mental workload.

I think I am going to look into automation of some things. Thank you!

When I was experiencing severe burnout, I tried therapy, and it did help somewhat. However, leaving was really the only thing that cured it for me. I didn't realize how much energy I really had until I left that toxic place behind.

I left a job once and it helped me

If you really want to stay at this job and you think your boss isn't the "toxic" type, it might actually be worth a real conversation.

Thank you.

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!
