Work is busy and hasn’t slowed down. In fact, work is busier than ever with the amount of things going on. I live in the city and very much in the hot zone of the pandemic. Had eight meetings today and now I’m down and out, feel like the energy got pulled right out of my body. I don’t commute. I’ve got plenty of food. But I’m unable to look at my computer right now. I just want space to relax. Everything seems so crazy here, it’s only Monday and I feel tapped out.
Hey OP, I’m in the same exact situation almost word for word. Project has been making us work at over 100% capacity since late Feb. Totally relate to the burned out feeling.
The only practical advice I can provide is to take breaks when you can - step away from the laptop and spend 20-30 min to read a book, watch a show, browse the internet, or another activity that absorbs you to help you “forget” about work and the world even just for a little bit.
And also know that your feelings are valid and many, many people feel the same way. We’ll get through this.
It’s probably really hard because you are feeling trapped in your place. I would try to wind down doing something besides watching tv or the usual. Try to journal and get those thoughts out on paper then burn the paper. Psychologically it helps. Feel better, stay strong buddy
Hey OP - same here. Im so tired and idk how to cope. Work is busy and my list of to-dos is a mile long. I feel like Sisyphus chipping away at my tasks while my manager piles more on. I’m so sleepy and drained all day long.
Me toooo
Yes, no one can tell you that’s not acceptable.. it’s how you feel
No unless you have iron deficiency, bad diet, bad sleeping habits, or work at EY
Iron is fine. The rest, well, yeah.

My project is slow and I am going crazy.
