I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are not your job.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are not your job. I started a new role and I was very set on reframing my relationship with work because I got so stressed at my old job I developed a chronic illness. It might be a combination of the new working environment but I have learned to separate my work and life and it has done wonders. I still stress but the stress is not as sharp. You are more than your job or the comments you get on a deck or performance review your boss gives you. It’s so difficult with knowledge / desk jobs to know when “work is done” because it never is! I do market research and let me tell you can spend years doing that… set a limit of how much of yourself you are willing to give that day and then recharge in the evening without guilt!! It’s especially tough post COVID I think because of teams and slack where you’re expected to drop everything even on weekends to work. Even if you get paid well that doesn’t mean they are entitled to 100% of your time.
