I’m kinda in your shoes. I’m not doing nearly as much as you are but I am starting a full time school job in two weeks. I haven’t worked full time since Feb 25. Been in partial/IOP since then with a couple of hospital stays during. I totally lost it at the end of July for the same reason, I took on too much.

So what I’m going to do is put up a list of coping skills that work well for me, things that I can do just at home and some I can sneak in at work without looking weird. I’m trying to get into meditation but it is hard when CR is up in his room screaming with his “boys” on discord lol. But the wind down at night has been very helpful, as has the walking at the gym. I don’t know if this will help you but it’s worth a shot. I have the headspace app which is pretty expensive but I think there’s some headspace sessions available on Netflix if you have it.

Also, keep writing down positive affirmations that relate to you, like “it’s going to be ok” and “this is definitely worth it” or something like that. I find actually writing them a few times helps me internalize them.

I believe in you, you’ve been doing fantastic for a very long time! You can totally do this and if you find it’s too much then maybe you can drop something just for now.
