My husband is coming home soon. He returned to his parent's house coz his sister has gotten him a ton of movies that he says he needs to collect and pay up.

I've been having two very busy weeks. Working almost 10 hours a day at the very least. On days that i leave early, i bring back work to do. I'm teethering at the edge, burnt out. symptoms of burnt out?

• you feel like crying when someone whom you don't know understands how tired you're feeling and doesn't say "cheer up! you can do it!".
• You crave to be understood and you begin to whine to everyone so that you can just get their attention and not their sympathy. But it doesn't happen and frustration builds up.
• Then you realise that you are behaving just like the people whom you dislike...
• you become forgetful, absent-minded, start misplacing things.
• Yours thoughts are often disjointed and the feeling of crumbling into dust grows acutely stronger when things start piling up; the end being nowhere near in sight.
• you fall asleep in the middle of reading or working or typing and staring at the glaring screen.
• When you talk too fast, smile too thinly, walk too quickly and eat too little.
• When every break you take feels like you're committing a sin by not being efficient in your work.
• and every break seems longer than the first because... hey you're just burnt out.

Are you feeling burnt out today? Try not to be like me.
