Burning out, Can't Stop

I'm constantly going.

Runnign errands or going to appointments before work, going to work, sometimes working my per diem job (driving Uber) after until the wee hours of the morning just to get up and do it all over again. I have my 2 allotted days off a week if I'm not picking up overtime and sometimes I'm running errands on those days too.

When I'm not, I can't stop.

I get jittery, I get anxious. I feel like I should be doing SOMETHING. I'm not comfortable just sitting around. I start to feel guilty. I try to make jewelry but I'm uninspired and then I get annoyed and give up. I try to play a video game but I can't focus long enough or can't even get myself to start because just choosing a game or trying to figure out what mood I'm in is just too overwhelming.

There's nights I go drive Uber just to get out and do something just to try and spend the anxious energy. I'll go for a walk around the block or to the corner store just to give myself an errand or purpose.

How do you stop when all you do is go?
