Filthy Casual for Life

Today’s theme is burnout.

Anime. I thought I would never say this, but here we are. I’m experiencing anime burnout. I am having trouble focusing. So far, the only two shows this season that have kept me coming back is Shangri-La Frontier and Solo Leveling.

Let’s talk Solo Leveling for one-hot-minute. If it were possible, I would have Jinwoo’s babies. I said what I said. Holy smokes, that last episode was awesome.

Back to the matter at hand. I am not sure the upcoming season is going to bring me back from this burnout I am experiencing. There is a lot of guilt there. I WANT to write new content, but it is just not happening. I know many of you grace me with your presence because of the anime content that I write and not necessarily my every day content. That’s all I have to offer right now. Sorry.

Diabetes. Not only am I experiencing anime burnout, I’m experiencing diabetes burnout. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am also sick and tired of taking care of myself. It’s hard to explain the physical and emotional toll diabetes takes on you. You’re in a constant battle with your body. It never rests. I haven’t been scanning my glucose monitor. I haven’t been consistently taking my medication. I haven’t been counting my carbs. Despite all of this, my A1c was 6.5 which is under the recommended 7.0 for diabetics. I shouldn’t throw away all my hard work to get under 7.0, but here I am. Doing exactly that.

Work. I am 100% experiencing work burnout. Lately, the place has been like a revolving door. They hire someone, they quit. They hire someone else, they get fired. I work in a small law firm. It isn’t a big corporation where that is an every day occurrence. It’s taking its toll on my mental health. I won’t go too into it other than to say the anxiety and stress are real. I find myself liking the job less and less.

Therapy. Yes. I am burned out on therapy! I go every two weeks. I want to quit, but I know that isn’t in my best interest. I have bipolar II and the condition can change on a dime. Checking in every two weeks helps me maintain my sanity.

Do you experience burnout?
