The edge to overoptimize yourself is very close and thats even more a hassle when hobbies become hustles and the brain doesnt distinguish anymore between work and hobby and freetime and me time.

Its a spiral which can lead fast to burnout or other related stuff.

Kudos to you that you made it this far and successfull in a challenging field.
