I absolutely love this comment. I think you are 100% right in that it's our passions that drive us (hopefully for good!! hehe). Burnout is common in the field I'm in (social work) and I think it's because people take on so many burdens from work and don't allow themselves to just be themselves after coming home from work. Whether that means sitting down with your favorite instrument to play a few songs just for fun, or baking something for yourself and/or your significant other, or reading a good book, or working on a writing project... it all comes down to taking time away from work thoughts and towards time for yourself.
Anyway, just thought I'd toss my $0.02 on there. :) Last year I was unemployed and just getting used to living with fibro... this year I am in grad school (but still unemployed) and getting used to the workload there. But either way, even if it is in between writing papers or essay exams... I am determined to at least try my best and see what happens. If I don't win, I don't win. I may not like how I feel if I don't win, but at least I know I will have put forth my best efforts.
(And also, I don't think you're crazy. Way to go for being such a go-getter!!)
