Burned out !!
All I think of is work, even over the weekend, the stress of unknowns keep bothering my mind even at the times I am not working. Stress levels have become really high. I am unable to focus due to this high stress at times and ends up wasting time on youtube or video games, which inturn further increases stress. This has led to a catastrophical failure of my life. Need a break, need help. Irrespective of salaries, this is not a life, I am done. #engineering What has really helped you to keep the stress levels under control ? Level : L5a IC
Take a break.
Two things that will help but are not there in the voting choices: Putting the hours in. Learning to say no. Do both
Seems like you’re in a spiral loop. I end up in that state every 6 month on average. For me the only thing that helps is major change in a daily routine for at least two weeks. The easiest and most affective way to do that is get a vacation and go travel. When I don’t do that and keep looping I end up in a depression which lasts for 1-3 months. Practicing self analysis helps to detect such mental state early and makes it easier to get out from it.
