Sometimes I feel completely stuck, like everything around me is in chaos. Balancing work life and personal errands has become overwhelming. I’ve been struggling to manage my time, especially when my health appointments clash with my work hours. It makes me question my choices every single day. I often wish I had a better job, one that offers a more flexible schedule and allows me to focus on my personal goals and well-being without constant stress.

Often times we overwhelm ourselves with conflicting schedules. My suggestion to you is have a conversation with your managers. More times then not speaking with your managers and finding a resolution works better than trying to figure it out on your own

You’re right. That does seem like the only solution for now. Thankfully, my new manager seems more understanding than I expected, which gives me a bit of hope that things might be more manageable moving forward.

I’ve been there. When your job’s structure doesn’t support your reality, burnout becomes inevitable. The key is clarity, track what’s draining you most, and then target a role that aligns with your life, not fights it. Have you looked into part-time or remote hybrid options just to test the waters?

You have nothing to lose..tell them the needs you have. See if there is flexibility using sick time or another option

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
