I have been in a similar position, where I felt like standing with my back to a wall and no longer having the energy to deal with the stress of changing anything about my condition.
Now looking back, I think I could have faired better if I would have had a different attiture towards my job. I have come to realize that my hardest struggles are not with the environment but with myself: How I think about myself with respect to the situation I am in.
I hope that this meager reply can be of some help to you.
- rullopat 5y agoYes it is helpful, thanks! That sounds very "stoic" what you just wrote, it's not much about what happens to me, but more about how I react to it. Did I get it correctly?
- fjfaase 5y agoYes. I think that, for example, a low self esteem could be a contributing factor to a burnout. I have been suffering from a low self esteem for almost all of my life, probably fueled by my perfectionism. I think this is a common thing about professionals in software development and IT.
