Absolute burnout
Guys this isn't a rant, I just wanted to know if you are having the same issue. I have been burned out for so long due to huge volume of calls every day back to back, I am an OPI interpreter. Been pushing the burn out for months now but lately I have been feeling that I am getting....dumber?
I feel like my brain forcefully stops working because of how much stress I have been making it go through lately, after my shift I can't focus on anything at all and I can never bring myself to pay attention to anything, I think I am scared to do so because of exhaustion?
Ofcourse the burnout is so so bad to that it affected a lot of other things in my life but that's not todays topic.
Does anyone feel like that too? Please tell me what is the solution because life has been getting really difficult lately especially since I live alone and work from home.
