I wasn't speaking in hyperbole. I have worked many 3am to 6pm days, and my typical day is 8am to 6pm. I have only had a few sane days, and I don't take breaks. I feel like shit most of the time.

Thanks for the down votes though.

That's impressive. Do you think it will get better mentally at one point?

I guess what drives it all is that the work is meaningful, am I correct?

No I will burn out and probably quit within a year if we don't hire a larger team.

Don't wait. If you're feeling the burn ask for help or find something else NOW.
