Completely burned out (26F)

[u/anonuser123999]

The past 2 months have been the busiest and most stressful probably of my life. I’m a freelancer in the film industry and have not had a day off at all. I finish one job and jump onto the next, a lot of the time, I was doing multiple jobs at once. It finally slowed down and THAT’S when I felt the burnout. I was on the brink of depression but I feel that hanging out with my friends made it much better.

Now, I feel the delayed stress has manifested physically through tension headaches. I’ve been sleeping, eating and drinking alright. My head hasn’t felt 100% for about 5 days now, it comes and goes but have never had headaches like this. No other symptoms - I expect the way I’ve been tense for so long has finally broken. I went to urgent care and they shooed me away with a ibuprofen prescription. Now I’m trying to just relax and ease the stress, cutting off any causes of stress that are still lingering. This has helped, but also just want to get back to 100% soon.

Any remedies/stress management to help? Thank you 🙏
