“I work all the time and can't switch off”

What could be going on

Workaholism: A compulsion to work with guilt when stopping fits; check how rest feels.

Works constantly, can't stop: Working constantly and being unable to stop fits; check whether it's chosen or driven.

Contingent self-worth: Fits if you only feel worthwhile when productive; check what an idle afternoon does to your mood.

Manic defence: Constant activity can keep low feelings away; check what comes up when you stop.

Type A behaviour pattern: Time urgency and competitive drive fit; check impatience and hostility.

Organisational justice: Could be workplace pressure, not inner drive; check whether the job demands it.
