Grad school student. Severely burnt out. I’ve literally observed my mental capacity and thinking ability go horribly low over the last 6 to 8 months. I’m not myself at all.
University counselors are useless tbh. They’re sugarcoating and sweet talking and not really helping me recover /solve my issue.
Not close enough with family to discuss this. I also think my friends (closest ones) are getting tired of my apathy, negative outlook etc.
Should I take a semester off? (I have a huge loan as well for grad school) What else can I do? I can’t soldier on. I simply don’t have any energy left. I’m struggling to even do bare minimums. No amount of positive quote or motivation is helping.
Take a deep breath buddy… It’s going to be hard, I understand… but just imagine how proud your future self is going to be remembering all your hard work. It’s totally okay if you want to take a break but never run away, okay? Take a week off at maximum and get yourself back together. You have come so far in life that remember, this won’t be able to stop you either. It’s just going to be an obstacle in life…Hope I helped you even a little…Sending love and support <3
hey, I can’t understand how u are feeling, even I feel burnt out, I don’t really have a solution, but I know u can figure it out, you have figured it out until now, even ahead u can don’t lose hope, things will get better. try developing interests other than the stuff that’s burning you out, try to free yourself a bit.
