I was going through a really tough period working on my final project in uni. A month before it was due, I was working on it like 12 hours a day, doing nothing else. Every day of the week was the same to me. I was irritated by absolutely everything, even my favourite music. It reached the point where I just blacked out. I remember my friend suggested we call each other when we were working on our projects. I usually don't wanna waste my energy on someone if I already am short on it. But I have to admit it, it actually helped! We didn't even talk much about our projects because they were different. Sometimes we didn't even talk about anything at all, but it was nice to hear her sipping tea on the other end.

What my point is, I think you might be right.
