got a job starting soon! contract role, just a few months, but after being unemployed for almost a year, I’m just… drained. last job let me go 2 weeks in cause they “didn’t have work,” and I’ve been grinding apps and interviews nonstop since. so yeah, I’m not exactly jumping for joy. more like relieved I won’t be homeless
I want to be excited, but my energy’s been at -100 for months
anyone else feel this? like you finally get a job but still can’t shake the burnout??
yup. 100%. when you’ve been through months of rejection and survival mode, even good news feels like “cool... I guess” instead of celebration. your body’s still in crisis mode 😔
