I dont mean depression or anxiety (this feels different), I mean feeling like you never really recharge, like youve never gotten time off ever. Which I think is partly due to a tendency to put literally 100% into something until you feel fried, move on to the next thing rinse repeat. Even “down time” doesnt really feel like down time because I am stuck between either boredom, working on yet another thing or thinking about things in general.
Yes, off and on for the past several years. I’ve been a software developer for 11 years at the same company. But I also do game dev in my spare time, so it does start to feel like I don’t have down time.
