"I feel nothing. Totally numb. With everything going on right now - personal problems, work deadlines, and other obligations - I've gone beyond stress mode and into automatic pilot. I go to work, go through the motions, come home, and veg out. I think I'm heading for burnout if I don't do something soon. "
I recently Googled around for burnout cures. I know everybody has their share of bad days, or even weeks. But when it gets to the point where you feel exhausted all the time, become short-tempered and irritible with people around you, and you just "go through the motions," you may be in for it.
I once heard that doing something creative, like writing a short story, painting something, or taking an art class. Usually, I'll start to write and that works. But these days, I need to write documents for work. Even my outlet for relaxation seems to be going out the window!
Anyone have some new ideas?
