    It’s still a struggle and it’s also cost me a significant amount of my ability to enjoy my free time (have to severely limit my investment in anything not work related so I don’t accidentally get consumed by it and lapse at work)

    This path leads to burnout. I have no practical advice since we are kind of required to put work first in order to survive. But the fact that it’s socially acceptable to call this “living” makes me sick to my stomach.

      Yup. Currently on my 4th burnout that’s lasted 3 yrs and counting (previous 3 were 1 yr each).

      I just don’t have it in me to buck up and try to work again. :/
