When in your life did you feel the most burned out and overwhelmed?

Went back to an accelerated grad school program recently. Nobody else is working, but I got offered an internship that was a huge opportunity, so I'm doing that and school. Have a 10 month old, and my wife is pregnant again. My wife is so sick with the nausea that I took on all the food prep and cleaning. Taking on as many nights as I can with my little one. I'm averaging three to four hours of sleep, barely finding time to eat, and can't find anytime to just let my brain relax. Even in the military, it was one responsibility, do what they tell you, shut up and listen. This is dragging me down lol. I'm surviving though. It's almost done. What about you?

The past 3 months. I went from being able to run, to hardly being able to walk and drive. Neurosis in my feet that's spread to my calves. February and March were like a personal hell. 24-7 round the clock pain that ranged from feeling like my feet were being tightly squeezed to extra cold and almost burning hot sensations. I barely slept and when I was able to it was for like an hour at a time. Anyway that's a light overview. I've been on Gabapentin for the past 3 weeks which has greatly reduced the vein pain.

When I was in my mid thirties I had a major mental breakdown which resulted in me spending time in a psychiatric hospital, followed by an extended period of therapy.

I found myself homeless just a week before turning 13. It took me nearly three years to regain control of my life.
