I felt emotional exhausted more than once due to my personal life, but never because of work, though I felt extremely tired more than once having bit off more than I could chew (lesson learned!)

Never.
Fatigue, and mild stress (self-imposed through making aggressive deadline choices), yes.
Emotional exhaustion? No.
If people think freelancing is emotionally exhausting, they should try working in a large office surrounded by noisy coworkers and supervised by demanding bosses.
(I suspect many people already have tried that, and that is why they are, understandably, freelancers.)

Work itself is my escape, while it’s the outside world that can be draining.
I believe work can provide structure, purpose, and even a sense of control, while personal life and social interactions can sometimes be unpredictable and exhausting.
For someone like me who deals with hyperthyroidism, which can be incredibly challenging, and many don’t fully understand this disease, translation is my refuge.
I prefer words to people...

Words are predictable, structured, and meaningful in a way that people often aren’t.
They don’t drain you, misunderstand you, or demand more than you can give. Instead, they offer clarity, purpose, and even a sense of control 😊 ▲ Collapse

Translation is my passion. But sometimes my clients have urgent tasks, and I have to work overtime... Well, that's the life.

The question sounds like as if nervous breakdowns were part of the job (how often ...).
Never had one, no burnout either. I always enjoyed my job, even when I had hard times.
