Dealing with burnout - January 18th 2021, 03:13 PM
I’m not sure burnout is the right word giving the situation but here goes.

I am a Covid contact tracer. Basically I make calls to people who are positive or are a contact of a positive and check in and contact trace. Normally I have an okay time doing this. However, yesterday I found out my uncle is in the hospital with Covid related pneumonia and I’m having a hard time motivating myself to continue working. How do I gain the motivation back?

Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
