I’m so incredibly burnt out—I’ve been going to sleep at 3 am and waking up at 7. I’m working 16 hour days consistently, and on Friday through Saturday I literally pulled an all nighter (until 11 am) to work. I don’t have time to make friends, let alone hang out with them, and all of my partner’s free time lately has been helping me stay afloat. I told myself I wouldn’t quit before busy season ends in March and put my team in a bad spot, but I honestly don’t know if I can make it to then.

Sometimes you have to be a little selfish when it comes to your mental health. You’re a good person and coworker for not wanting to leave your team hanging, but your health is more important. If you are planning on quitting, do it before it takes any further toll on you

You need to set boundaries.

“I can’t “ is not an option

like

You’re definitely not wrong. Setting boundaries is something I struggle with at the best of times, and in the middle of what feels like a slow-no breakdown is certainly not the best of times. I intellectually know I’m not stuck, but it feels like I’m in the middle of a freeze response, if that makes sense?

Thank you so much for your comment, and if you happen to have any advice on how you’ve managed to set boundaries, I’d be all ears.
