Am I in burnout?
I’m EXTREMELY fatigued. Have been fatigued off and on for months. Sometimes this fatigue lasts days. Sometimes it lasts only one day. I don’t know what’s causing it. Today I was also more irritable, I was feeling grumpy or angry, and I was quicker to lose patience and get frustrated and snap at someone.
I had a one hour nap yesterday and it didn’t help much with fatigue feeling. My eyes feel soooooo heavy. And doing anything feels like such a challenge. I tried just taking it easy today, watching TV or reading and avoiding others, and fatigue is only slightly better tonight. Irritability and grumpiness is gone this evening.
I’m not sure what’s happening and how to prevent it and how to recover from it.
I’m a big bookworm. Should I not read when I feel like this? Is that too much “work” for my brain? Is watching TV ok?
thanks for any advice or input
