70hrs work-weeks? Of course you are burnt out.

Stop killing yourself for their profit. You have no downtime, you have no peace, you have no time to 'do' anything else.

70hrs a week (assuming you sleep 8hrs) only leaves you with 10hrs a week. That's just 2hrs a day! AND I bet most of those 2 hrs is used up in "morning routine, and food preparation".

You need to cut back A LOT.

Stop working at 40hrs. Stand up for yourself. Don't let your company bully you. Pre-Industrial revolution, the average person had more 'time off' then we do. A peasant, living subsistence farming lifestyle had more free time then you do.



Seconded. 70 hours is too much, even over a fairly short period of time let alone years. Everything you do above ~40 hours draws on finite reserves, getting back down to a sane work schedule is critical if you want to recover.
