    How do you guys deal with burn out when you get no chance to relax/ down time?

    I haven't been 'me' for like a year now. I've gotten through a horrific divorce and getting my son out of depression.

    Works was insane last year and having some internal politics. The news is getting to me when I normally able to gravitate it. I have to study most nights to wee hours and on personal project (to get me not to burn out ironically)

    I have to work late to make up leaving early to pick my son up Fridays and drop him back late Sunday.

    I just feel so hollow right now.
