It's a sign that, for the sake of your health, you need to reduce your endless duties and tasks. You're like the (classic) Ten of Wands card figure who is trying to carry the ten of wands and leans on the weight. You can't see where you're going and you're only thinking about your responsibilities. This is the time to stop focusing narrowly on one area and find a balance in life, including other interests.
