Feel like doing nothing
I worked at an early stage startup with really toxic culture and left my job because of that, now it's been one month I just wake up eat and sleep and feel like doing nothing, Although I know at some point I have to resume back but when ever I sit back to document my work prepare my portfolio I just feel no motivation to do so, Is something wrong with me?? Has anyone faced something like this before? How did you come out of it?

Congrats, aapko burnout hua hai.
And most likely your faith in yourself and the principle of ‘do hard work, you will make it’ has been shattered.

@Borosil_Carrier Sahi me. Our generation is a deadbeat cohort of robots (including me as well sadly). We must find something that goes beyond work.

Its perfectly normal buddy
Take a few days off. Here is a rough itenary:
Visit your parents
Talk to them
Roam around your hometown
Eat anything and everything that soothes your tastebuds
Now meet your friends
Hangout with them till 3am
Listen to sad songs at 3am on discord with them and share sombre poetry
Visit your GF/BF
Tell them how you feel
Make them laugh, make memories
Shake a leg with them, sip some wine
Revisit your initial days
Go for star gazing
Make love
Visit your elders
Seek their blessings
Visit your relatives
Make them jealous
And then,
Return to your job with a new vigor :)

Believe me all you need is a week off and youll be great
Quit design. It’s a shit career path. You can only grow if you have a degree from IIT or NID.

Same. Quit my toxic job a month ago and have been struggling mentally. To a point where I feel like I'm good for nothing.
Don't know what to say but keep going. Take a break. You got this!

The same thing happened to me a few months ago, so I came back to my old company because I don't want to stay in this company. I have to maintain my discipline while working.
And then I have come back with a new energy and now I am learning things with full focus and now my confidence is back.
You should also do something like this because unless there is pressure, you will not be able to remain disciplined and move forward.

You are ok man. Dont let some pieces of shit define your worth. You are enough, and you will make it through.
And like they say - Comeback is always stronger than the setback :]
