Ask HN: How do you recharge your batteries?

I had a mental breakdown last fall and with that everything in my life spiraled out of control. Now I have to spend another semester to finish my master's, possibly 2.

I may fail my master's because I can't replace a course and I don't believe that I will be able to pass it. It seems that there is a mental barrier preventing things from "clicking".

I am tired. I can't seem to be able to catch a break or rest. Besides my master's I have a job that's 30 hours per week because I don't have any other form of economic support.

I can't seem to be able to recharge my batteries. Nothing seems to work.

I wake up tired. I have trouble with executive dysfunction. My brain feels saturated, as if there is no more space to store new information.

I have reached a point of total burnout. My gears are grinding instead of spinning and I have no strength to keep going.
