31, moving back with parents because I'm burnt out and can't handle my life. Someone please tell me I'm not the only one.
Hi everyone,
After months of trying (and failing) to get better, I've had to accept that I can't continue my life as it is. I can't stand working full time in a city for much longer. I have been in full burnout for several months, and there's no sign it'll get any better here.
I've become so agitated and miserable that my parents suggested that when my tenancy ends in the autumn, I just quit my job, leave the city and move in with them for as long as I need. My mum says that I need a rest, and clearly I can't get one where I am now. I never would have asked them for this, but I have felt truly trapped in my situation. I'm 31, will be 32 when I move in with them, I'll be unemployed and have pretty much no money, and I don't know anyone where my parents live. It sounds like a real step down, but I am past caring- I have been offered a life raft and by God I am taking it.
That said... I wish it hadn't come to this, though I am very grateful to my parents. It would be reassuring to know I'm not the only one- is this happening to anyone else right now?
