The only person responsible for your health and happiness is you.
If you're pushing yourself to the brink of burnout and mental breakdowns, you aren't giving yourself enough time to recover. Period. Take it seriously because it can spiral out of control.
There's this thought that once you cross your threshold of a mental breakdown, you become fed up. That's usually what burnout manifests itself as. It seems like it's showing in your work where you aren't landing things based on your expectations. It could also be that we're in the middle of a great reshuffling and things aren't really stable anywhere. Who knows?
You are ultimately in control of your own destiny. To get over constant failure, you fail more. You fail until you succeed. You keep going. But you need to do this in a way that is sustainable so you can wake up every day to make an inch of progress rather than nothing at all.
