Do you ever feel Burnt out at work?

I work as a Graphic Designer and honestly I'm burnt out. Creatively I am done. I work at a small design company of 5 people, 6 including my boss. Though small we work for some big companies (we don't get paid like we do though). Each day we can work on 4-7 projects. It's tough switching from project to project while trying to be creative at the same time. You might spend all your effort on one project and by the time you get to the next you have nothing left.

Then there's clients who are difficult, they can never decide what they want. Even when we give them what they asked for, they say it's not what they are looking for. With stress from my anxiety/depression, personal issues and dealing with the chaos that is NYC, it's tough. Sometimes I'll sit there with nothing in my head. Sometimes I feel the pay isn't worth the stress and headache.

Creative work is challenging, I give you credit for even having enough creative talent to make a living off it. I can see why you get burnt out, perhaps you need to reassess your career choice, you are still young.

@Keepitdown Thank you very much. Was considering starting my own thing or even going back to school for nursing.

That is wise, you will be working for a long time, better to make a switch sooner than later, good luck!
