I’m just feeling quite burnt out rn
I’ve gotten better at my job since the last time I posted about it here, but gosh it’s still so stressful. I’m fortunate to have very, very kind superiors and the chillest vocation the military has to offer, and I feel awful that I’m still struggling. I’m such a weak, incompetent person. I feel so sad that I have to do this for nearly two more years. I’ve been in mandatory military service for just three months so far but it has felt like an eternity. I don’t know what to do about my situation… I could push for a discharge based on mental health grounds or request to be posted to a more relaxed workplace, but my unit already has manpower issues and I don’t want to inundate my colleagues with my workshare too. And I don’t want to disappoint my boss, he’s been so kind to me and I don’t want him to feel like it’s his fault. I feel stuck… there’s just this constant awful feeling I have when I’m at work and thinking about having to do this for two more years just makes me feel so sad. I’m struggling to cope.
