Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I push flat-out all day with no real breaks, treating rest like something I have to earn after the work is done
• I’m so wound up I can’t sit still
• My performance keeps sliding, my mood and sleep are tanking, and my gut reaction is to train harder to push through it
• After I’ve blown a deadline I lash myself with guilt and try to make up for it with a brutal all-nighter, which wrecks me so badly that I just crash and avoid everything again
• I act like every single thing has to be done by me, and I’m drowning
