Completely burned out
I(25M) quit my comfy corporate job to help my dad start us his business. It’s very demanding and at first it felt fulfilling to help my family. 6 months have passed I’ve used up all my savings and that fulfilling feeling is no longer with me. I am now at a point where I no longer feel joy even when I’m not working. Sometimes I think about leaving and starting new somewhere else but the guilt of what that would do to my father is the main reason I stay. I don’t feel like any of my hard work literally blood sweat and tears that I’ve poured into this is appreciated at all :/. My marriage has started falling apart to due to how demanding my work and my father are. My wife and I have been pretty distant and she doesn’t even know that I am going through this because I don’t want to hurt the relationship she has with my family. I feel so alone in this sadness that I’ve been feeling. I’ve been trying to take things day by day some days are better than others. But today especially feels like a bad day and these feelings of inadequacy and sadness are being amplified. I usually turn to god as I’m a devout Muslim but I feel I may be beyond helping. This deep empty pit inside eats me alive.
Please advise if you’re going through something similar. I’m not feeling suicidal I do believe this life is worth living and seeing through. But it’s hard when you feel powerless and helpless.
