burnout

i refer to the "mind your body" section of today's paper. suddenly i was reminded of my emotions and moodswings during fyp time. i quote:

"swing between working madly and not caring two hoots if the project succeeds"
"lack of motivation, new ideas"
"loss of appetite"
"becoming cynical"

one particular cause which i identified:
"unclear or changing job targets....wonder why he is putting so much effort into a job that isn't really that important after all"

hmm... i wonder if i was having a burnout that time? or maybe i was just being a slack student??
