When was the last time you had 10 days off in a row? First, if you can, take a two week vacation (longer if you are able). If you can afford it, travel to someplace that you enjoy, turn off all notifications, don't check your email, hell don't turn your phone on if you don't have to. Don't even use a computer, don't surf the web, don't keep your usual routine. (two weeks here, because it takes some 7-10 days to really separate yourself from work) Also, don't spend all the time at home, laying in bed, watching tv. Second, stop all the side tech related side projects. You are probably burned out from lighting both ends of the problem solving candle. You need to give your mind a break from problem technical solving. Have you considered picking up a hobby that isn't connected to technology. Learn to sew, read a book, pick up an instrument. Third, if it has been a while go see a doctor and get a physical. Gotta rule out anything physically wrong with your body. > How can I manage responsibilities and deal with this at the same time? Should I delegate my work to someone else for a while? Should I just take a couple of weeks' vacation? I'm kind of lost at the moment. You have to take care of yourself first. I'd make an appointment with your therapist to create a plan of action, a way to break this cycle. If you are close and feel safe with discussing this with your boss do so. You may have to delegate some of your load, you may even need to take a short leave of absence. Finally, if you don't already, start taking daily walks outside and start journaling. Walks to help clear your mind, journaling to sort out your thoughts.
