Hi all,
I need some advice. Basically I feel that these past few weeks given what’s happened to the Queen (which I know everyone will have different views on and that’s fine) and some personal stuff going on in my life I feel everything has got too much for me. And there have been moments in my life where I feel like I want to commit suicide. As in the words of Brian Griffin sometimes it’s all too much which is life and everything. I feel that as even though I have a day job to help me invest in my acting I feel trapped as if I try and break out of my routine and step out if my comfort zone I get overwhelmed. And what’s more the pressure of having a single parent is challenging as I know I’m 22 and need to help out and learn more about independency for when I do move out but recently with my dad now having a broken foot and me having a cold I just feel like I’m the parent at the moment. It’s just overwhelming as I’ve got things to do every week which includes trying to recover from my cold and preparing for a showcase audition in December.
I don’t not want to take a break from prep as performing has been my therapy but I do want to try new things as self care/other skills. My point is I just ordered based on what I said if anyone has any advice on how to deal with overwhelm and avoid burnout? As I was literally on the verge of burnout a few weeks ago (and a panic attack back in July for taking too much on) and I don’t want it to happen again.
