Hi, I (23F) have been struggling with severe burnout for about 6 years. Nothing seems to get rid of it. I’ve tried many things like professional help, taking a break from things, switching things up, etc. I deal with mental health issues which can make things more difficult and because of all this I have a hard time keeping a job.
2 years ago I met my current partner (24M) and he really pushed me to get my life together after a lot of life bullshit. I’m really grateful for it, I was able to go back to school, I got my diploma and I managed to find a job in my trade. Doing all this while still in burnout, it was really hard to get through but I’m proud I managed to do it.
I tile professionally, I enjoy it though it isn’t my passion. But it pays well, my team and boss is nice and I can have flexible hours which is honestly a relief. But I’m having a hard time already about a month into it. I don’t want to quit at all but I’m noticing myself getting a bit burnt out from it already. It’s really frustrating me especially since I’m finally moving out of my parents house with my partner into a condo in about a month. I’m genuinely very excited. Im trying to tell myself that this will be my motivation to keep going but what if I still struggle? I don’t want to mess this up.
I also don’t want to keep feeling this way in the morning and at work. I envy people who can get into routine so easily and maintain it. I really wish I was like that but so far I haven’t been able to find a permanent solution. I want to enjoy life even with my struggles. Not dread every single morning.
Will it ever go away? Am I just stuck like this? Any advice will be much appreciated
