Hi there. Could really use some perspective and thoughts right now.
Long story short I’m burnt out at work. The work of 3 people is quite literally just been put on my shoulders. In reading more about burn out versus stress, burn out is actually quite serious and seems to align with how I feel.
Where I’m at right now is that I’m trying to figure it all out. Do I try to do too much at work because of my childhood trauma of managing things a child should not manage? Am I feeling more isolated because of how isolating my trauma was? Am I using my freeze response at work? Is going through EMDR making it extra difficult to manage my work responsibilities and if that weren’t the case would things be fine at work?
I am trying to figure out if leaving my job is the right move. I know nobody here can give me that answer but if anyone has any help with how I can think through this I would really appreciate it. If it’s helpful to know I’m in the software development space as a product manager. Thanks!
