Why do I feel so drained at home? I’m not sure if it’s just burnout from finishing a big essay, but my mom insisted I come home this weekend because my sister is visiting.

Every little movement feels pointless, and all I really want to do is lie down and breathe. Is this just burnout, or could it be something more?
