Worked so much during the last year that I barely recognize myself and struggle with purpose when I have a moment to slow down. Anyone else feeling this way lately?

Yeah. Even on time off I feel restless. Honestly struggling with a solve. I don’t have a lot of hobbies outside work right now cause I’m so focused on my team and the work.

Reunited with an ex and things moved very fast with the two of us spending a lot of time and nights together but we waited to consummate the “relationship”. Recently, he shared that he wasn’t in a position to be in a relationship right now and felt like he didn’t have enough to offer me but he cared deeply for me and was very attracted to me. Admittedly, he isn’t financially well-off and is heading back to school to finish his degree (we’re in our 30s) but it still hurts a lot.
