I am feeling completely burnout. I open my notebooks with the sketches and work-plans for the future of my dramatic works and I simply fail to imagine new metaphors, new verses, new dialogues. I feel not only anxious (a heavy pressing upon the lungs and heart, difficult breathing and mind fog and numbness) but also tired, and that despite I have been sleeping and eating well.

I don’t know why I am feeling so tired and uncreative despite my good health, and I also don’t know what to do to drag myself out of this mud of mental rheum and misty soup of yawns.

Are there some examples of burnout fatigue among great writers and scientists? I would not feel so damn alone if I could see that other great minds also faced the same problem.

I am trying to cool down a bit. But to be honest this forced stops in my work make me cook in anxiety: my own skin is the pot and insise there is only nervous feelings. But maybe time will heal me.

Stop trying so hard. Especially if this is a first draft or something even more preliminary that you're angsting over.
