Anyone feel like this year has been one of the most exhausting? It is only June, but I just feel like this year has already had so much, just so much. I feel mentally exhausted. Can this year just go away now?

Yes. My mom died right before Christmas and it's been a nonstop shit show since then.

I hope you get some time to rest, both mentally and physically.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My dad died in February. It still doesn't entirely feel real. And life just keeps piling more things on.

So sorry about your dad. It sucks. And I feel you, it still doesn't feel real for me either and the way grief has hit me has been completely unexpected. And then like you said, Life just keeps piling more on.

Yes. Even with the pandemic, my job was same old same old. I had it running like clock work. Then weird stuff starting happening in January. We run on a monthly schedule, so I thought, "I just need to get to the February and work will go back to normal." LOLNO. It still hasn't gotten back to normal and each month is a DIFFERENT weirdness. I'm so mentally exhausted I've started napping for hours on the weekend (if I'm not working OT because of the crazy).

So sorry. I hope things get better for you.

I feel like even on the nights I actually sleep well, it doesn't matter because I feel exhausted anyway. Like, I slept 9 and a half hours last night. Admittedly the night before was only 5. But I still felt bone-tired all day today.

For me, it's been exhausting because the things that happened in 2022 that could be easily explained away have wreaked utter havoc. For example, one of my co-workers had major family medical issues, so she was barely working the last four or five months of 2022. That meant the majority of the work was to be completed by myself and a newer guy, and him getting properly trained got put off for a lot of different reasons. This was excused in 2022, but this year my boss has finally come face to face with the downstream effects of this (namely the new guy cherry picking work and not learning how to dive into more complicated issues).

She and I have tried different methods of trying to nudge both of my coworkers into working on more involved emails, but the pace of this training has not been fast enough. I finally told my boss it's time to be blunt with them since I cannot be the only one handling more intricate cases. This will be the primary topic at the next team meeting. Thankfully we can all meet virtually. That way, I can mute myself and be off video while my coworkers try to explain why they've avoided all the difficult stuff.

Yes, because I have a cough that won't go away for almost 3 months now. A COVID test at the end of March turned up negative.

try for whooping cough

seconded - I had whooping cough once (pre covid times) and it was a miserable experience. apparently my tetanus shot had expired rip

I feel that. Been trying to get back in shape and head off any further medical problems but stress from multiple sources (and consequently stress-eating and stress... "slacking") are just wearing me down. Trying to be hopeful but GODDAMN, shit is crazy.

Hope the year gets better for you, and for everyone else (unless they're a raging asshole who benefits from the collective suckage or something).

Because we're still living in 2016. The year that just wouldn't fucking die already.

Christ, this.

Yeah, I feel like I just wanna be DONE, fuck. It's just been too much.

My last mom-figure passed away last week and my car got stolen today, so I feel this sentiment.

I just read through the comments. I'm sorry for everyone who has had a rough go the last...forever. God, it feels like forever.
