Am I burnt out?

I’ve always been quite an emotional person but recently I just feel like crying a lot. I’ve been under a lot of stress, I have a child with SEN needs and problems at school which are on my mind constantly. I have a lovely home and a supportive husband but my job is stressful and I feel anxiety about the success of a project. A colleague recently did something a bit shitty towards me and now I feel really angry about it. I can’t let it go. I don’t particularly enjoy my work, my team are quite weak and the work is demanding. I feel like a lot of people get a better deal than me in terms of hours and pay and I feel a bit like I’m being taken advantage of. I don’t like the industry particularly. I’m finding it hard to focus on what I need to get done, I’m dropping balls and procrastinating instead of cranking through stuff like I would usually do. I don’t spend enough time with my family and I just feel sad a lot of the time. I had a sudden thought tonight that maybe I’m burnt out - if that’s a thing? Is this what it feels like or am I over-reacting and just a bit menopausal and I just need to pull myself together?

Sounds like it's becoming a bit overwhelming and perhaps anxiety/depression creeping in.
Change job so you can feel happier and more positive in a different environment

I think it's just life!

Yeah I think the job thing is a problem. Last time I felt like this I was in the wrong job and I should have left it years before. I need an exit plan I think. Thank you.
