Insidiously, I've let physical and mental fatigue overtake me. I became overly preoccupied with all the things I needed (or thought I needed) to complete, and lost my bearings. Consequently, I rather badly burnt out...
Didn't really think anything was wrong earlier on. I was still able to keep up with my schedule and tasks, but upon return from my KL trip, I found that I was perpetually tired, barely able to finish off the day's work, much less come up with any creative products.
Things came to a head when I started having palpitations almost nightly. At first, I dismissed it as too much coffee, although I was never immoderate. When it persisted, I bacame a little more concerned.
I wanted to see a doctor about it, but the queue at the polyclinic was fantastically long. My parents think it is due to my over-exerting myself that led to these health complications, and strongly suggested that I rest.
Seeing how much a visit to a specialist will cost me, I took their advice...
To my surprise, they were right :) I went home that day, and took a nap. It was long and deep, and when I awoke, I felt very much better :) I was certainly still fatigued, but my heart seemed to have stilled some :)
So here I am, burnt out, and trying very hard to rest up :) It's very much harder than you'd imagine, what with my concert, musical auditions, novel, soundtrack... ok ok! I'd better stop before I whip myself into a frenzy again!
Do remember me in your prayers, and excuse me if I'm not answering calls/sms/emails as promptly as you're used to :)
With that, I'm off to bed! Nitez!
