How to stop feeling drained

Hi all,

Analyst at a BB here. Any suggestions on how to stop feeling drained and re charge?

Been around the IB analyst block a few times now but never felt this exhausted before. Started back before Thanksgiving when my Thanksgiving blew up and stayed in office while it emptied out. Then same exact thing happened with xmas. Everyone has come back with stories of holidays with fam, etc., and I’m more tired from Xmas than I’ve ever been in this job.

I am not in this for the long haul but actually fairly optimistic/energetic and think IB as an analyst is a great launchpad and place to learn. I would actually enjoy a lot of what I’m on if I could just spend more than 18 hours away.

I’m making mistakes I normally would not make which is just making me frustrated with myself too.

Lots of whining, sorry. My dad works an hourly shift job and I find myself envious of him because he gets to go home at 5, which is ridiculous because my job is very interesting and I should be grateful. Just at the point where I’m half hoping I get in some very minor accident so I can have a “legit” reason to be out of office. clearly not a good mental place... suggestions appreciated!

Thanks in advance
