Lost thoughts: big burnout

Right now I just feel burnt out. It’s almost the end of term but it’s also not, I have finished the work I need to do but I haven’t. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. It’s like what to do and where to go.

The switch between burn out and energised is unparalleled. It’s like you’re caught in a perpetual cycle of not knowing quite where to be or what to do. I don’t cope well with change between the two and that’s a well known fact. I think I panic what comes next, how do I manage, how do I do down time. I worry about how to cope. That just shouldn’t be the case. Being burnout comes with a sense of achievement and hard work. Reframing the period to see it as a sign of your body needing rest would be more healthy. Perhaps an opportunity to refresh, reknew and reanalyse your thoughts and motivations for the coming period. This sounds way more spiritual than I am used too, more energy than I would usually channel. However, I am trying to be calmer in my approach to things.

I think I feel emotions quite strongly without it realising. I’m sensitive. I panic. I worry. I get entangled in my own thoughts. And that’s okay. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and stop focusing on what comes next and what you can do now instead. That perhaps would be more beneficial to the cause.
