As difficult as it is to conclude anything based on a short description online, you just described what is more likely to be classic burnout rather than scary pathology. That said, burnout is really bad and not a minor problem.
- daneel_w 4y agoI've been burned out twice before. This cognitive sluggishness is similar, but not identical. Lately there's nothing particular going on at work that has had a consuming or stressful effect on me, but that doesn't entirely rule it out.
- bigDinosaur 4y agoMake sure you don't have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boreout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boreout as well, which I've actually experienced (it led to a lot of resentment and then led to classic burnout). It's always worth ruling out these things because they are more common than the really scary physical issues. That said, always worth getting physically checked out if concerned etc.
- lumost 4y agoI swear that Bore-out is an under-discussed topic with remote work. The pursuit of WLB can easily turn into a do nothing job. A significant portion of the population want to describe their job as "exciting" or "fast".
