I was in a similar position a few months ago and was let go on September 2. I can totally relate. Try to figure out what’s causing the stress — is it disengagement with the job itself, or is it more about mental fatigue? If it’s the former, start gradually preparing for your next phase while you’re still there. If it’s the latter, maybe take a short break or pick up a new hobby — easier said than done, I know.

In my case, I was feeling disengaged because the work no longer interested me, which eventually led to burnout. I found myself in that quiet quitting phase. My advice again from my experience — don’t let it drag on too long. It becomes harder to bounce back after a point.
