Hi Dawn, I am so sorry to hear you're feeling this way right now. May I ask why you've decided to take on more than you can handle, and what can you do about it? Is it possible to ask your employer for less hours and/or days at work so you have more free time to yourself, and to spend with your loved ones?
I'm not sure how the cost of living is in your country; but in the United States it's ridiculously expensive. There are people who have to work 50+ hours a week, at minimum wage, just to stay afloat; and even then, they still have to cut back on 'luxuries' such as treating themselves or taking time off. It's unfortunately the nature of living in a country where the wealthy have more privileges than those who work to the point of burn-out, at a minimum wage pay, only to still not be able to enjoy time away from work.
Another suggestion I have is to talk to your friends and family. You may rarely ever get to see them or talk to them; but we have the technology available to us today that we can still maintain contact. You can text, use social media, or email them. Let them know that you're having a difficult time and are feeling the burn-out of working too much. I imagine they'll say they can see it too, and they might even offer their own advice for you.
Sending kind thoughts your way, really do take care of yourself.
