Am I still suffering from burnout?

Posting here for traffic and advice.

Was off from work 5 months last year; started a new job in Nov with more work life balance. I have always suffered from SAD too; but this year is so bad, my energy start dropping in the afternoon; my anxiety levels are also quite high.

I do help myself with vitamin D, excercise, sad lamp and now have to take one coffee around lunch time to keep me going for a few hours.

Is this the burnout, SAD, menopause of all together. I started feeling bad after mid November. My job is not stressful.

I don't know if you need to label it really.

The fact is you sound unwell and not coping.

Have you had any recent blood tests?
