Has anybody here ever reached that stage where work just feels like it drains your brain? Because I won’t lie, I almost burnt out last month. Deadlines, calls, chats, emails… everything just choked me up. What actually helped me a bit was taking 10-15 mins break every 2 hours. I just switched off my phone, breathed a little and sometimes, I play calm music.

Another thing I tried was journaling. I just write whatever is on my head, even if it doesn’t make sense. It clears space up there somehow.

So, for those who are into runing business, remote work or 9-to-5, how do you protect your mental health? Therapy? Prayer walks? Music? Solo weekends? Share your own so we can help each other.

I got to that point at my previous job. Not only did the actual job stress me out, I worked with people who only tolerated me and disrespected me. (Not everyone was like this. I had a few decent coworkers who actually liked me and didn't disrespect me.) So what I did was look for a new job. I was just at that point, I had been there for 5 years so I needed a new job. My current job doesn't stress me out that often honestly, so I'm not at that point where I need to vent about it. That's usually what helped me in the past.
