I&#x27;m completely burnout and engaging in self-destructive behavior recently. Like reporting done tasks even before not even starting them.<p>This is the second time I am this burnout. Last time I had to literally drop everything and take 2 weeks off. I wasn&#x27;t sure if that fixed the problem but because of shame and having to work to pay my bills I slogged through and continued working for another 3 years.<p>I&#x27;m at the same situation yet again where I&#x27;m just about to drop everything and take some time off. I&#x27;m looking for some direction about how to figure out root cause of this. Couple of things I would mention is that I&#x27;m in south east asia, commute is long 2+ hrs, work in small company with lot of stress (nothing too dramatic as lot of others I know have similar lifestyles but they are coping it just fine)
