Depression, inability to sleep, increasing anxiety, irritability, difficulties to concentrate and frequent sicknesses?
Those are signs of burnout.
Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress.
It occurs when you feel overwhelmed and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest or motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place.

" Burnout is, at its heart, a loss of self and connection to life. Your ability to be present, your creativity, compassion, and humanity simply go missing. It’s like some one has stretched a sheet of plastic wrap over the world, sealing away the juice. Life seems parched, dry, and without possibility. Sound like depression? While there are a dozen stages to burnout—beginning with zealous overwork and culminating with emotional and physical collapse--the latter stages do mimic depression. But antidepressants won’t help. You need to change your course drastically and revive the aliveness, curiosity, joy, and pleasure that make life at its best an exciting adventure," except from Joan Borysenko's new book Fried: Why You Burn Out and How to Revive
