Hello everyone,
It's been quite a while since I posted on this forum - and that's mainly because I have being doing well until recently. I was even the best man at my mate's wedding in February.
However, I have been feeling under increasing pressure at work where my remit is much wider than it was previously. It is also our busiest time of year and I put a lot of pressure on myself to get things right to the extent that I have not made a single mistake on my checked work since the start of reporting year in April (other peers have several). I'm probably past the stage of "feeling under increasing pressure" and actually already into "burnout".
Last night, I got home from work at 7pm, slept 7-10pm and then again midnight-7.30am. Yet I still woke up absolutely exhausted. Basically I felt as if I'd been drugged - got brain zaps, sore eyes, tender ribcage, no appetite. I'm not eating well.
But I know there is nothing physically wrong. All stress. And I know this because I've seen it all before.
Add info: I have a three-week holiday to America in September, which I am also slightly nervous about (as I don't like flying) but which I know I will enjoy. However, I have not had a full Mon-Fri week off all year - and, at this rate, they'll be dragging a shell of a man on the plane in a few weeks.
Should I be going to the GPs?
