I'm going through a burnout, this is how it feels to relax/sleep/rest/etc. The alternative is things getting worse tho, so it'll have to do
Burnout is the worst.
Thanks! It really sucks. I'd prefer if my body just had some sort of "The Sims" type of "energy" bar so I'd be able to see when I push too far. Instead I'll just randomly feel worse a few days later. I'm slowly picking stuff up again though, mostly because I was getting frustrated with rotting away at home, and it doesn't seem to make things worse. And I still enjoy programming (which is also my job), I just enjoy it way too much. But that's better than not being motivated at all I guess
