I'm genuinely sorry for what you're going through, especially regarding your aunt. The systemic issues you've highlighted are felt by many, and your feelings are entirely valid. Remember, many of us share these frustrations. It's crucial to find some time for self-care amidst all this and to remember you're not alone in wanting change.

Thanks. Yeah when I talk about these things, a lot of my friends feel the same way.

The 5 day work week is also too difficult. I need more time in the weekend. Just cleaning up my home, doing laundry, groceries, cooking and meal prep etc can take a big chunk of my weekend and I barely have time to socialise and get some rest. One extra day would help so much.

I'm really starting to feel like there's no way out. I've started to actively seek professional help because I feel like I'm having a burnout.

I truly understand the pressures of a 5-day work week and the longing for more time. Seeking professional help is a brave step, and I commend you for it. Everyone deserves a chance to breathe, recharge, and enjoy life. Stay strong and take care.
