I feel really burnt out lately and I& #39;m trying to be more honest about it. I don& #39;t have the energy to text my friends back a lot of the time. I feel isolated and want to sleep a lot. Work is ... hard. I& #39;ve mentioned this to a couple friends, who said they feel the same way.

I feel like we& #39;ve hit this point in the pandemic that& #39;s sort of just a perfect storm for feeling this way. We& #39;re six months in, this is just how life is now, and it& #39;s lonely and exhausting. Early on, I felt like it was constant trauma, and now I just feel so, so tired.

I don& #39;t know how to fix this. Weekends don& #39;t feel like time to recharge, but naming how I& #39;m feeling and being open about it has made me feel less alone, so I figured I& #39;d say it here in case it helps other people.
