Burned out

It's been a horribly stressful few weeks. Work piled-on and then I had a large project at home. It just wouldn't stop. Now I feel that floating feeling. Maybe it's the stress from this morning. I don't know. I just know that what I really want is to lay down and go to sleep for a while.

The burnout problem comes at times that I never expect it. I'm chugging along doing great and then all of a sudden I hit the mud. My wheels don't even spin like when I'm "stuck", they just stop and I sink. My engine shuts down and I don't want to do anything, see anyone, speak to anyone, or even step outside. I want to be alone far away with no obligations.

I'm burned out again. Damn. I was going to make sure that didn't happen and here I am. :-(

So I just looked at my other posts and what do I find? An unfinished post from a few weeks ago saying:

It seems to be an inevitable experience for an INTP - burnout. We drive hard and keep driving. As things get more and more difficult we bury our emotions, ignoring them even though they continue to affect us. Soon we are completely wrapped-up in whatever it is we are working on. And it works. We achieve more. We understand more. We makes things better. Sure, some important things may have to wait a while but no big deal.

I guess I had an inkling of what was coming.
