Do you have areas of your life that you are completely laid back and casual about? Or have you ever gone through a period where you have been really laid back and a bit apathetic about everything?
I have always been a typical type A person. I am a hardworker, organised, meticulous, studious, a perfectionist. Up until 6 months ago when I graduated from my master's I had spent my entire life in education. Since then I feel like I have lost myself a bit and I don't really recognise myself anymore. I seem to have lost drive and feel like I am coasting along lacking ambition, motivation and self-discipline. I am sure it has been compounded by lockdown but it was also the case before lockdown too.
I am not sure whether it has arisen from burn out or whether I am struggling outside of academia or whether it is maybe a symptom of depression so I was just wondering if anyone else who has a similar personality type to me has experienced anything similar?
