Iv reached a point where I'm so stressed and burnt out both in and out of work multiple things at home alongside health alongside work and I feel exhausted I can barely move tiday and keep bursting into tears
iv now found I missed something in an email at work and I responded late I don't know what the impact of this will be yet and it's just sent me over the edge
I feel like I can't go on with it
but I don't know how to tell work I feel such a failure

I’m so sorry you feel like that. I had the same experience in December. There is only so much we can take and honestly I considered asking to get sectioned just for the break. I feel I’m failing in every aspect of life.

do you have a supportive partner? Family you can turn to? Can you buy in some help in any way? Cleaner? Get food delivered even a gusto meal plan? Fuck it even takeaways just to take some of the strain off.

the only thing that helped me was exercise which I definitely DID NOT WANT TO DO but the mental boost I got from we’ve. Walking on a treadmill really hit the spot. Not been able to go for 3 weeks now various reasons and I’m back down in the pits of despair again.
