Did you take time to yourself between jobs? I think this is a sign of you still being burnt out from your past one maybe. Sorry I don’t have tips for you

I was exhausted starting my new job. Had weeks of training which was mind numbing my boring. Once I left training period it was so much more interesting actually getting invoked on projects. What helped me during the new phase was taking 5min after a call or work session or whatever to get up and walk around and grab a drink/ quick snack / check phone / etc just to give my brain a break whenever possible

I feel this to my core. I went back to PA after 9 months of odd jobs, 2 attempted new career paths, and so much stress and aloneness. I started remotely; after 120 hours of self
Study training I was bored to tears. Most people work remotely most of the time here, but because I just started client work on some shit shows…. It’s incentivized that I come in to the office the majority of the time to get my feet under me. Which I really welcomed - I miss people and it’s a beautiful office. Except people keep scheduling meetings in the office with me, my commute was far and stressful, and then they kept canceling after I already got there, and reacheduling everyone across different time zones is a nightmare for me. Not to mention I did not anticipate how nervous I would be in front of others again. I’ve always been socially shy and anxious, but professionally I could flip a switch and be ok. My switch is apparently broken lol. Getting dressed appropriately and out the door is really hard. I worry about making sure I connect with my team. The software alone is overwhelming as shit, and the clients are great opportunities but a little more complex than I hoped to be starting out on. My nutrition is shit. And I moved right before Christmas to a closer location. Idk where anything is.

Mentally overstimulated.
