Performance: 10/10. Sanity: to be confirmed.

Started the day with an ironed shirt, two podcasts, and a silent breakdown scheduled somewhere between a high-stakes pitch and a global event no one helped me deliver...

You ever hit that point where you're juggling five things that aren’t technically your job, people start ghosting on deadlines, and your manager pulls you aside to tell you you’re not "visible" enough?

Meanwhile you’ve sacrificed your weekend, skipped lunch, and are still somehow the one being quietly side-eyed for “not being a team player.” (aaghhhaghhargahagagh)

I wrote something about it, part reflection, part mild emotional collapse. Might resonate if you’ve ever smiled through burnout and delivered results while quietly screaming inside.

For real though, how do you actually survive this long-term? Would genuinely love any advice on managing pressure without completely losing yourself.
