@immyownforeigner119 Hi! I hope you are doing well! I am not a workaholic per se, but my main motivators in life mostly include what I can achieve professionally/academically. I have a hard time seeing life purposes outside of professional accomplishments and this was/is one of the only ways I see success in myself, which isn't true in life. I think working overtime and not wanting to do other things can be a sign of not wanting to maybe deal with another issue that lingers outside of work? Basically like using work as a distraction or coping mechanism? Maybe this could be something that resonates with you. We have great Listeners if you would like to talk more about this! I hope this helps. Please take it easy on yourself. ❤️ Everything will be okay!
Noo have always been this way and always have had one or two jobs work is a positive thing for me I feel good working and loving your job helps especially when you are helping others
@immyownforeigner119 I agree! I love helping others, so I hope to have a career one day that I am able to work and help others at the same time. I know you enjoy helping others, but make sure you take a break so you don't burn out ❤️ It's important to take care of yourself as well! I am thinking of you!

I completely understand where you are coming from. I work in the medical field and I've put in more hours than I care to mention. I've covered for colleagues, gone into work on my days off to help out, (I got paid of course), and given up vacations to work. What I discovered one day was that work had become my be all and end all to my life. When I got home from work that day, I went into my bedroom and looked into the mirror. What I saw was the truth. I needed to take control of my life and take some time for myself. It was extremely difficult at first. I fought the urge to go into work many, many times and I failed many times. But eventually, I discovered what I was missing. My first real vacation was such a journey of discovery. I learned that I could take time for myself and the job would be waiting for me when I returned.. I came back from being on an island in a shack for two weeks ready to face my job. And when I returned it was a joy to work. I hadn't felt the joy for some time. Now I take time off and when I return I'm in a better situation both mentally and physically. This is something I would have never known about without doing what I did.
