Since I've gotten back from my last internship, it has been feeling like my brain has been refusing to work.
Over the last 10-12 months, I got extremely burnt out from a team that was rushed to finish a product - that included staying late often (4AM late). I was then only recommended for another internship, not a full time job. Feeling pretty defeated, I came back to school and took another heavy course load, which seemed to make brain not want to work part even worse.
I remember 2 years ago, I was coding projects in my spare time, had the enthusiasm of a 5 year old, and was just a generally happy guy. I used to love life! Now a simple task seems to take ages. My brain, when reading, doesn't actually read in the data. It feels like it caches it, and then throws it out when the next thing comes along.
Has anyone ever gone through something like this? What has helped you?
So far, it seems like video games (i haven't played them in years) and going to the gym, and overall relaxing and taking things one step at a time has been helping. But... it's not the 100% capacity I know I can exhibit.
