I myself have been dealing with not being able to sleep very well at all. Even with the meds I take I’m always exhausted. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas for you. Would love to learn more

I think about taking a leave of absence all the time. I feel I need to rest my body and mind. Im so exhausted and feel very sick. Unfortunately, im unable to do that as I need to pay bills. You have a good opportunity there, enjoy your time off.

I am trying to relax and enjoy my time off. I am not ready to go back to work as well. I tried pushing myself to take the next job available. I did. I lasted 1 day and emotionally couldn't do it. How are you doing?

Where is the emotional exhaustion coming from?

[Hidden in reply to Zhangliqun]

I dont know

It's time to find out -- quickly, before it gets worse. And staying alone all day will make it worse because you won't have other voices, sounds, stimuli, to knock the horrible thought patterns out of your head. The Devil will have you in a corner all to himself...

I feel the same way but I have to work. My last job messed me up so bad I was burnt out for years with them. Now I’m at a new job, yeah the pay is better but I’ve never worked so hard in my life and I’m still burnt out from my first job. I read it takes 3-5 years to work through burnout. That was a shock to me. And idk how to do it while being in a high pace and pressure environment. Advice, good therapist who will actually give you tools through this time. I’m on sleeping meds that I’ll be on the rest of my life. Saying up for 72 hours straight unwillingly will mess you up.
