DrunkenSunflower,

I know how hard you push yourself. You have achieved great things at a very young age. I could see where just maintaining and meeting expectations at the high point on the career ladder, where you currently are, could be exhausting.

I could see these demands on you as leaving very little time or energy for a social life. I see your taking a day off here and there from work as healthy "mental health" days. Everyone needs those in corporate life.

Putting on your "game face" whenever you work in a corporate setting is an important skill to have.

The random crying spells stand out as a concern for me. I could see where you could very easily just feel overwhelmed.

Drunkensunflower, you have really set a tough pace for yourself. You can't be perfectly on your game all the time. If you don't get enough sleep, it does affect your concentration.

Hugs,

EJ
