Hey a 29M here.

Ummm how do I put this? I’ve been slowly burning out and depressed since September last year until recently it hit me quite hard. I haven’t been this burnt and depressed in 3 years from a totally different reason (job searching for 7 years). What I used to do to help cope isn’t doing anything anymore and I’m looking for ideas to help.

What I used to do:
Lay in bed for hours when not working
Eat a lot (stress eating)
Game a lot.
Sit in complete silence.

As the title says, I am that burnt out and depressed that I’m both mentally and emotionally exhausted from the burn out mainly and I don’t know how to tell my gf because she start either going yes I know bub, start comparing herself or just go off another tangent or subject. Any ideas?

The only people who know that I’m that burnt out and depressed are one of my best mates and his GF as the 3 of us check up on each other weekly. My manager at my job and my mum will probably know soonish.

Any ideas would be helpful

Bit of context here.
I’m a 29M who’s working in the following
- 10 years retail
- 3 years in the IT field
- 8 years of hospitality work.

After today I am thinking about going to either the mining sector or go work on a road gang as a traffic controller (got all licenses for that). Would there be any IT jobs in the mining industry or is it all external 3rd party IT jobs?

Is there a way to contact human support instead of going through AI to reset the password??
