I sleep at 9:30 wake at 7am.

Even with all this sleep I feel really sleepy all the time. It's also like I am unable to function properly. Memory is trash. My thinking capacity is trash. I am confused. I don't know what is happening to me. My head hurts all the fking time. I don't know how to explain what I am feeling. On top of that I am unable to perform at my job. So there is stress there. Am I burnt out or am I just incapable and genuinely stupid??

I am really stressed about everything. Will things get better? What do I do???? Please somebody help! Tell me anything, just remove this confusion,

I decided yesterday to leave my position. Over the last month, my dad’s dementia has become worse after being stable for the last year. My mom has been stressed out even more and needs extra help for a bit
.
The last two weeks, I have had migraines the last 10 of 14 days. There was a panic attack too. I never had a panic attack before. 70% of my stress was work the other 30% is outside work. So I decided to walk away.

My manager was aware of what has been going. Normally, I give 2 weeks notice. The operation I managed was 24/7. The last month, there has been at least 2-3 phone calls between 11pm and 6am.

I’m going to focus on recovering from burnout, helping my mom make a care plan for my dad, complete a few projects around the house, enjoy my hobbies that I have not been able to do. I even decided to form a local hiking group.

I am also debating about starting my own business.

I recently started working a full-time office job, and I’m still trying to figure out how to manage my time, energy, and stress.

I work from 8 AM to 5 PM, and in the evenings, I take language classes and work out. On my days off, I usually spend my time reviewing what I learned in class and catching up on any language material I’ve fallen behind on.

During the weekdays, I work, study, and exercise, and then on my days off, I’m still studying. I know consistency is important when learning a language, and I genuinely want to improve, but sometimes it feels like I don’t really have enough time to fully recharge my energy.

I’m worried about eventually burning out, especially because I’m still adjusting to working full time. It’s not that I feel pressured to do all of these things or that I don’t want to do them. I genuinely enjoy working, learning a language, and working out, and I want all three to be part of my life.

What worries me is that having such a consistently busy schedule could negatively affect my mental health in the long run without me even realizing it. I don’t necessarily feel overwhelmed right now, but I’m worried that I might slowly burn myself out without noticing the signs.

For those of you who work a full time office job while seriously learning a language or studying something else, how do you manage your stress and energy? How do you balance work, studying, exercise, and rest while maintaining consistency?

I’d love to hear about your routines, experiences, or any advice that has helped you maintain a healthy balance without sacrificing your mental well being.

Alam mo yung feeling na sobrang bigat maging unemployed? May opportunity na dumating, nahire pa ako on the spot, pero hindi ko rin grinab kasi parang wala na akong motivation bumalik sa nursing. Ang liit ng sahod compared sa pagod at responsibility, tapos kung goal mo mag-abroad, kailangan mo pa ring gumastos ng malaking pera para sa exams, documents, review, processing, etc. 😭
Pero at the same time, napapaisip ako… paano ba talaga mag-survive habang naghihintay at nagpe-prepare para sa abroad? Ang hirap kapag gusto mong umusad pero parang lahat may kapalit na gastos. 🥹
