I often really properly am burned out, because I will work in such insane sprints of activity. But more generally, I have these thoughts like 'I'm done', 'I can't go on', 'I don't have anymore in me'... And this is normally with regards to my professional life. I'm relatively successfully at what I do, but I kind of constantly have this feeling like I am out of ideas and no longer have the energy to execute them, though this never turns out to be true. But it's weird to feel like you are facing the end all of the time. Anyhow, don't know if this resonates, but I do often feel burned out for one reason or another.
Best of luck!

I am, or at least "was", an entrepreneur. Self-employed, self-motivated, and self-managed. I wasn't particularly successful because unbeknownst to me the mood swings are not generally compatible with a successful business model. Right now I barely have the energy or motivation to get out of bed in the morning. Not because I'm depressed but just because I feel totally burned out.
Can anyone else relate to this? What has been your experience?
