The Exhausting Journey of Overworking

Hey there! Juggling everything all at once in the workplace, is certainly not everybody's cup of tea, and not many of us are programmed to work like that. It is tough when work starts to pile up and the stress starts to weigh us down, but guess what? We do have a way out of this overworking culture that normalizes everything that should not be normalized.

It endures like the 9 to 5 hours are not enough to finish all the work in a day, but be mindful to take some pause during your work and it may endure like you are not doing enough, but it is.It's important to prioritize your well-being and mental health, even when work feels overwhelming. Maybe try setting boundaries, delegating tasks where you can, or even talking to your manager about how you're feeling.

Overworked, under-rested, and stuck in a work environment that feels more like a pressure cooker than a place of productivity.

It all started innocently enough - a few extra projects here, some late nights there. But before I knew it, I was knee-deep in deadlines and drowning in emails. The workload kept piling up, and the pressure to perform became unbearable.

The worst part? It's not just the sheer volume of work that's weighing me down. It's the toxic work environment that seems to thrive on stress and chaos. Colleagues are constantly competing for recognition, managers are never satisfied, and the expectations just keep escalating.

Every morning feels like a battle as I drag myself out of bed, already exhausted before the day even begins. And as the day progresses, the weight of my responsibilities becomes heavier and heavier. The constant rush to meet deadlines, attend meetings, and put out fires leaves me feeling drained and demoralized.

It's a vicious cycle - the more I push myself to keep up with the work and my workplace demands, the more burnt out I become. It was something that day, I could not get out of my own mind. I was stuck in my own mind and it was horrible. It feels like there's no way out. Quitting is not an option; I need this job to pay the bills and support my family. So I soldier on, hoping that somehow things will get better.

But deep down, I know that something has to change. I can't continue like this indefinitely. My physical health is suffering - sleepless nights, headaches, and fatigue have become my constant companions. My mental well-being is also taking a hit - anxiety and overwhelm are never far away.

Taking care of myself should not be a luxury; it should be a non-negotiable necessity. That means setting boundaries at work, learning to say no when necessary, and seeking support from colleagues and supervisors. It also means carving out time for self-care activities that recharge my batteries - whether it's exercise, meditation, or simply disconnecting from work for a while.
