11 Signs You're Burned Out on Life

[@Katimorton]

How has returning back to "normal life" post pandemic affected your burnout and ability to recover? Let me know in the comments.

[@edwardianspice1]

Yes, Kati. I have post Covid trauma that’s layered itself on top of previous earlier traumas. Still sleep dysregulated and out of sorts.

[@gilbertjuarez8966]

Thank you for this video! I didn’t know I had burnout, I recognized a few signs on my own but when I realized I had all 11 it hit me hard! I now have hope and a way to address my burnout!! Thank you 🙏🏽😎

[@haleydoe644]

burnout has permanently, for the foreseeable future, disabled me. 16 hour days, 6 hour a day commute, deaths of my fiancé and other loved ones. My brain and body stopped caring. I can sleep for a month.

[@peace-now]

Burnout gets worse as you get older (and you are not there yet!). As they say, old age is not for wimps. You just have to get out there, and carry on. :)

[@kathleengivant-taylor2277]

How to stay off social media when you are a social media junkie

[@janetslater129]

I think another way to handle burnout is learning to say no. Telling people "No. I can't," can really save your sanity in the long run. Not everything in life is urgent or HAS to be done right then and there. Also, for those of you who are care givers to a loved one at home, one thing I learned from taking care of my mom, who was terminally ill (she passed in 2007), is that the little things are not going to change the prognoses of the health of the loved one. What I mean is that it doesn't matter if you did something-say wash the dishes-on a Wednesday afternoon vs. Tuesday night-that is NOT an indicator of quality of care that you were giving to that person. The same goes for anything else...like ordering in a pizza one night vs cooking at home when you're 1000% exhausted and don't have the brain space to cook. Being a caregiver is HARD, and you deserve breaks from it, in whatever way, shape, or form works for you and your loved one.

[@jsi4064]

Well said.

[@debraowen6723]

Amen! Caregiver of my now 94 yr old dad. We've been to emergency 4 times this yr. Dr follow ups for all. Stitches/staples removal. 10 day stay in rehab for concussion for him to have 24/7 care. I clean, shop, cook, all Dr /hosp visits. Have a woman 2 hrs every 2 wks to take him on walks with walker and just keep him busy. I have a baby monitor always with me. I'm on call 24/7 & have had to go out at night to help him. He has his apartment attached to our hs. BUT. My sis, bless her heart, is coming today to take dad for a month! Yippy!!!!

[@user-rr5zt7om1c]

After 8 months of break from work, I am wondering why I still feel angry and exhausted just thinking of working as a teacher again... Maybe it's time to change my career to a job with a better work-life balance and clear work boundaries...

[@tashokukisune]

As a nurse that’s been practicing for 9 years, and all through the pandemic. I’m well past burnout and depression and into completely numb and in pure survival mode. Thankfully nothing worse than too much Amazon. But this pandemic has been horrid and really throwing the healthcare industry’s ruthless thirst for profits into sharp relief.

[@ilikaplayhopscotch]

Thanks for being a nurse!

[@jayhulrs1435]

For sure. The nurses that are left are so exhausted. My son and I both work in healthcare. We were saying the other day we don’t know what’s going to happen to all the elderly people, because there just aren’t enough people left in healthcare to take care of them. Eventually colleges will have to let nurses go to school for free to recruit them. The nursing shortage in our city is insane.

[@corgising5606]

Can you give a few examples of their thirst for profits?

[@KreativeHogwartsLegacyGUIDES]

i think people really need to speak out about the healthcare industry. i am on the other end of it, it is going to destroy alot of people

[@KreativeHogwartsLegacyGUIDES]

@@jayhulrs1435 they should make the schools free for nurses, the industry has alot of money for that, it will be easy

I can't imagine taking a few days off and somehow magically recovering from all this. You can't escape life itself. The horrible world and shit life you had are still going to be there.

[@lyviamoraes6835]

I had clinical depression n that’s exactly how I used to think then. The thing we don’t realise is that life only feels that way bc we are sick. Focus on healing - getting all the help u can. Once u heal u’ll be able to see that life is not bearable but light and exciting. I’ve been there too. If I could heal, u can too. Drop that 10stones bag and you’ll enjoy the journey.

[@toni2309]

For all my fellow PDAers: It's okay to feel burnt out from the things marketed as being the cure for burnout. It's okay to be burnt out from socializing, or from the demand to care for your body and mind. You are not wrong, you are not a failure.

[@supermichaelssecondchannel4342]

Thirty minutes of walking is really helpful. Especially when there’s a huge sun ☀️ ball out radiating it’s warmth into your skin.

[@alid.p.1983]

This is very important, not even an exercise walk, just getting outside and sitting is good I find.

[@NoSc0pe78yearsago]

Man its so damn cold and it gets dark early not long after i get off my 9-5 week job, if i was rich id move tf outta the US from nov-march cuz of how cold and dark early it gets preventing me from enjoying nature and just being outside

[@CaregivingVlogs]

I have definitely been burned out, since I have been in my 20s and I am now 35 years old. It just keep getting worse, years and years and day by day. As I run a co-founded business, am a caregiver to my mom with chronic pain and migraines, and I have a lazy alcoholic younger brother. I know my mom is burnt-out out too, as we keep trying to figure out ways to create stable income, The burnout and stress and anxiety and worry and depression, over everything is pretty much overwhelming.

[@jaspermartin7444]

er... lock him out of the checkbook and other bank accounts? If you give more info then I'm sure me and others can help with that. How exactly is he accessing your money? Or if he's not accessing actual cash, then what is he taking?

[@Katimorton]

I am so sorry you're going through all of that.. and I hope you are able to get a little time to yourself every now and then. If you're able, it can help to get a nurse to come take care of your mom for a bit while you do something for yourself :) xoxo

@@Katimorton thank you, Kati. I sometimes take days off and just lay in bed, or sleep for 24 hours, I even take time to have relaxing bathes and sometimes go for walks, and just found a park fairly close to by our place. So I can be alone in nature, and my mom and I have been talking about getting her a nurse. We just have to figure out how to get one through with Canada. My brother helps sometimes, but it isn’t enough, as I take on most of tbe physical work and my mom does the financial stuff. Thank you for your advice and your videos. They have help, me so much. I feel so seen through learning new things about my own mental health issues and physical issues, and now have more tools to try to be more compassionate with myself, like I am with everyone else in my life. 💝

[@cateclism316]

I have never found the 9 to 5 scene fulfilling. Jobs can be exciting at first, but, after a few years it becomes routine, the same thing year after year. I am always watching the clock for my next break, my end time, etc. All I ever hear about is metrics, how we need to do more, blah, blah, blah. It's a rut I get into every time.

[@Katimorton]

I totally feel that.. I always ran into that when I worked in corporate jobs. If you're able, finding some time to do things you love or explore other job opportunities could help. xoxo

[@ravset]

This video is the exact description of what I'm going through right now. If the phone rings or I get a message, my anxiety goes all the way up. It has been extremely hard for me to think, make decisions, study, work and deal with any type of problem, no matter how small. The dark thoughts are also constant, my mind just thinks this is the end, since I can't deal with life, it seems impossible to go on.

[@polinanikulina]

I'm sorry you're having a tough time right now. I hope you'll find a way to get some rest and recover. I'm sure you've heard this, but turning off all notifications and only checking them, say, every hour could be helpful. It's rare that anything is so urgent it can't wait about an hour. Perhaps you only allow repeat calls, or only have notifications on for school / work related messages. Or maybe you have a study buddy who'll send you a message if there's something school / work related you need to know about ASAP. And don't be afraid to ask your supervisor / teachers for help if you need any!

[@ravset]

[@peterchuck4077]

I can tell you the exact time I became burned out at the age of 55 (73 now). Divorced, increased pressure at work, I had had enough. I quit working, sold my stuff, and traveled the entire U.S. I landed in Colorado. My sister was living in the mountains at that time and I house sat for here for free rent. Eventually, I moved to another town, got some meds and therapy and went back to work (for a while anyway). Now I’m really retired and after another MDD episode moved to Assisted living as all my therapists said I needed to be more social!! Thanks for listening. !😊

[@myaccount9498]

[@princesschelsea1558]

This just convinced me to take a social media break ❤ I’ve always struggled with fatigue issues, but they’ve gotten so bad these past few weeks and I have a strong feeling its because of the overwhelming stress I’ve been under for so long. I still plan on talking with my doctor, but in the mean time, im hopping off Facebook to give my brain a break 😊

[@TheNerubin]

I have had most of the symptoms when i eventually developed the eleventh. Gladely my crash was hard enough to get me into a doctors office and not hard enough to act on it. I went to a clinic for a couple of month and now, years later would say i am at my happiest point in my live. So for everyone struggeling, there is hope.

[@jlande6]

Burnout is actually a medical condition and not just a mental one either. A lot of it has to do with an over taxed or maxed out nervous system, especially if this situation goes on for a long period of time. The fight or flight response has a huge part in causing the condition. Once again, especially if your body is in fight or flight mode for elongated periods. Fight or flight by design is supposed to be a temporary body and mind response and state, to temporary situations etc. The longer the body is in this state continously or even off and on but for a longtime, the more it becomes almost the go to response for the body and mind. Less and less and smaller things and situations will trigger the response, almost like building up tolerance in reverse. This causes the nervous system and various other systems, chemical and hormone release like cortisol, and other body and mind functions to be overworked, misaligned, under and over responsive, etc...hence the tem burnout. Unfortunately that term and this condition, until more recently, we're defined more as a mental state or mindset, or the like, or just another way a person is overtired, overworked, depressed, etc, or sometimes just completely in the head of the individual. Therefore something that can be changed easily by changing mood or mindset, getting more sleep, just being happy, just changing behaviors or other things like that. This is in no means true in the least, aside from those changes can be helpful,,but by no means fix the situation alone. Some studies and research are finding that burnout may be very akin to PTSD and definitely have much in common with anxiety, depression from anxiety. An occurance of burnout can possibly take up to 2 years to recover from and that is if the cause(s) stop, and/or new ones or other traumas etc don't happen. Also burnout is not new, or directly related to covid or working at home....in my case it was actually work place and bad jobs that caused my several occurances. Studies and research shows that the majority of occupational related or work burnout are actually not even the fault of the sufferer, but caused by bad management or mis management, bad work environment, imbalance and disconnect between upper management or administration and employees, unorganized or badly organized departments or companies. Inappropriate up to impossible work flow or out put expectations etc etc. This a double hit usually for employees in the area of burnout, because usually they are held responsible for being at fault by the actual perpetrators and may even think themselves to be as well. Burnout often leads to or sometimes just is a nervous breakdown and may lead to or be co-experienced with many other serious health problems and conditions. Take it very seriously, seek medical help and counseling or life coaching etc as well for the mental/behavioral aspects. And most definitely educate yourself about the condition as much as possible.

[@coolgirlismahan]

Well said. Thank you. I’m suffering from this at the moment and I’m taking Care of myself but 1 year after getting fired from my job I’m still highly sensitive. It’s hard to live in this state but almost nothing is more important to me now than my mental health!

[@arlenerivera6631]

Life interrupted. I had almost total burnout, saw a counselor, planned my retirement, dreamed of a life with some freedom. Retired, and 45 days later, Covid-19 Pandemic hit. One-and-one-half years later, can't seem to be able to leave the house unless I absolutely have to. Grey hair now, overweight now, and only my obligations to my 96-year-old mother and my doggie keep me going each and every day. I just want to know how to start living a life again.

Wow. All of these symptoms I had at the end of 2022/beginning of 2023. Ended up being diagnosed with major depressive disorder and complex PTSD. It has taken months of extensive therapy to get me back to work. I finally am feeling so much better. I didn’t think I was going to make it a few months ago. Please please please ask for help! It is possible to feel better! Understanding and raising the level of awareness of why our bodies and brains react/respond the way they do is key!

[@lilycat1694]

Connection with others is a big source of my burnout & depression, or rather the lack of connection with anyone. Struggling with that, especially at work. It is 40 hours a week of absolute misery. I am close to the age of being able to retire, and need the work income for as long as possible.

Sign No 1. Scrolling through YT while sitting at your work desk, watching this video, when you have a mountain of anxious clients waiting for your call/email/advice.

[@roshanrahealer]

Hi, Kati! I love your videos. I'm here for you, too. You're inspiring and thoughtful in your videos, sharing the difficulties you face. As a recovering people pleaser with C-PTSD and comorbid issues, including intense dissociative disorders, it takes me time each day to figure out WHAT I want to do. When feeling burned out, which likely stems from compassion fatigue (empathic person living in the suburbs when I grew up in the woods... ewww), I prioritize sleep and water. Ahh, the nectar of life! My brain thanks me, and I get energy to do physical activity, which includes walking in the local parks with my love and our pups. The burnout causes a wall to form in my mind. So, one of my favorite things to do to challenge myself is look inward instead of outward, as connection with others became a habit, which led me to trust untrustworthy people. By doing shadow work, I've learned I'm an introvert, but my mom forced me to be extroverted. Learning what I need in life has been the best way for me to deal with burnout, as I don't feel guilty when I need that little extra sleep, a good read, sitting in the sun and watching the mason bees pollinate our yard, and more. Kitchen witchery has been an exciting journey, too, as I don't use recipes (my husband calls me a mad scientist in the kitchen). Tiny adventures, like quests I give myself, light up my life so I don't feel stuck doing the job I love. Writing dark psychological fantasies with therapy skills included, and editing for clients who want to evolve in their craft and life. Burnout over a long period caused fibromyalgia, so I stretch multiple times a day, soak in Epsom salt baths with fantasy music and candlelight, and sing songs that express the pains in me so I can focus on the present again. It takes a lot of work to manage the symptoms. But as a naturally resilient person, I know the benefits will one day surpass the costs, even if the benefit is brain power.

[@Katimorton]

Thank you so much for sharing, and I love all of the various ways you care for yourself!!! Give your pups an extra tummy rub for me :) xoxo

[@meagiesmuse2334]

Another empath with fibromyalgia here. I live in a huge metro area due to my spouse, but I totally agree that we do much better in a simple, rural life with lots of contact with nature. I agree on the singing too...it helps, especially if I dance at the same time!

[@edwardianspice1]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is a really interesting post with a lot of wise sensible advice in it. I believe I have complex PTSD as well as ADULT ADHD and other co morbidities. Burnout is a constant problem for me as I’m a writer who throws myself passionately into my work but keeps hitting a wall of exhaustion and having to just sleep. X

[@roshanrahealer]

@@meagiesmuse2334 Thank you! Fibromyalgia sucks and is manageable. I love singing in the shower, and when I need an extra oomph, I create really horrible yet funny dance moves while rinsing off. There's a meditation I do when I'm overwhelmed, too, which I created one day when I started to black out and become a different part of myself. I imagine swimming upstream a raging river, then let my muscles relax and float downstream. As I fall down the waterfall, I imagine my shoulder blades relaxing, then flapping as wings grow from them, breaking the fall as I crash into the water. As darkness envelopes me, I close my eyes and pull my wings out, then emerge and fly into the sky, my dragon scales glistening in the sun. When I need to work or do chores, I imagine my intuition guiding me so my brain can relax. When I need to rest, I dive into the water, then come up and float with the leaves and flower petals.

[@roshanrahealer]

I don't talk to people. All i do every day is watch KZbin all day and night and deprive myself of sleep... I stopped writing, i barely play the video games i like as much, i stopped drawing and hardly do much of anything each day. I can't even talk to my family without trying to avoid the conversation or walking away since i run out of things i want to say, or cutting myself short. I just can't do anything anymore ever, i have no healthy routines, no exercise, no meditation, no mindfulness and i just sit around. At least I'm healthy. Just sleep deprived and have nothing going on in my life, I'm not learning or building towards anything. I've never wished i was dead, but i just wish i where a better person. And i can't talk to others without driving them away with my insecurities or assuming everything they do is to shame or make me feel useless and driving them away to protect myself. I suck. Nothing i do brings me joy, even small things like my cat sleeping in my lap at this very moment. I know I'm gonna have to get up and wake my cat up and wake up late in the afternoon tomorrow from sleep deprivation. Nothing in my life is going to change, the only thing that changes are the videos i watch and the food i eat, and the shows i watch. I have no skills, no social life, no real hobbies besides games.

For the past 5+ years I have completely lost interest in everything, this caused me to drop out of school and I have basically wasted the past 3 years of my life doing nothing. The last job I had was 3 years ago and I couldn't even stay for hardly a few months, I'd come home and have no appetite and go straight to bed, just to repeat everything the next day. I don't have any hobbies anymore, not that I could find anything new because I can't even motivate myself to care, nor have money to pursue anything or the motivation to get another job to have money in the first place. I'm screwed, I wish I had noticed all this when I was younger, but instead waited until I was 23 to get help. But now I'm 26 and have nothing to show for it, I just wish I wouldn't have to wake up for another day of this, I'm a burden to my family, and I'm not even helping myself get better.

I am going through severe work burnout right now. I started a new department that is so monotonous and mond numbing that I dread logging in every day. I haven't dreaded going to work this much since I worked fast food. This new department is horrible. My company recently announced they were doing layoffs and I was like finally thank God I'm a new person and a new department and I have a good chance of being laid off, and this company is known for having a very nice severance package. One person, one person in my department got a lay off. I was like I can't even win the fucking lottery when the lottery is getting laid off!!

The lifestyle changes are what get me. Sports leagues and gyms were shut down and it totally turned my world upside down.

[@areuarealman7269]

I moved from where I talked too everyone too talking too people that hate me for no reason so I'm exhausted and getting too be not so nice I give up so some small dude in the world with a really bad attitude leave him alone .

I am 1000% burnt out! This is me the only thing is I don’t drink or do drugs thank god

[@edwardianspice1]

Yes. Lack of reward, and excessive effort. Equals burnout 😂

I got to number 4 when I realized I didn’t have the energy to finish the video. So, I’m off to eat a whole chocolate chip cheesecake and drink a bottle of tequila.

THANK YOU FOR THIS. I've been so overstimulated for the past months that this is the first youtube video (that is not a music clip) that I've watched in approximately 6 months. And it was just what I needed. Kisses from Seoul

[@callboy2163]

This Video come 2 years to late for me. In the past I feelt myself as a Failure for my all companions. I slept very bad, I ate over a period of time nothing, cause I thought I wasn't worth it. Everybody on my working place thoughts I haven't motivation cause I was not mental there.

[@shortbuscaptain]

Ever since they changed the Suicide Hotline (988) it became a joke. No one really cares on the other line. All they do are referrals, passing the buck and rushing you to move on. It’s pathetic!

[@jodiebarber6738]

Nearly all these applied to me. The Dr thought I had anxiety and depression. Working through it all with a good counsellor

[@bobbieabbott]

My career is being accepted as actually Medicare fraud but my supervisors and coworkers are telling me it is okay, everyone is doing it, and we have to or we won't have jobs. The field of therapy does not bring me joy anymore as I know I am going to ask to do things that I know are fraudulent billing but do not know what else to do, as I have not able to be able to find jobs that are not committing some type of fraud.

[@piperspit9796]

I got burned out after I lost my baby. The only thing keeping me goin is my hero. I'd give the whole world to see him smile. His handsomeness is relaxing ❤

[@d.h.4778]

I just found out I’m autistic, I’ve been looking back at my entire life.. could major depressive disorder be confused for constant burnout?

[@lisaw2637]

I've been reading about this. Check out some articles and videos on Austistic Burnout🙏🏼 It's different than (and often mistaken for) depression and different than neurotypical burnout. A lot of folks on the spectrum have been sharing information about this!

[@gabrielebartkute7359]

Working on my burnout... Well, the whole feeling like you're supposed to do something about it, gives me anxiety and stress. Learning to love myself makes me hate myself for the fact that I'm not good enough at loving myself. The damned circle of disappointment and exhaustion...

[@cristinaevans139]

Thank you for your honesty,I’m 54 years old and so appreciate you for the wonderful videos you make god bless you ❤ from Australia 🎉you are awesome,you made me safe thankful for you 😊

[@lorriredmon8212]

This is so great! It helped me put a finger on some relationship difficulties I've been having and had no idea why we were struggling. It fits perfectly. I'm content to be at home all the time but not my husband. He needs to get out and I think a bit more of that might be a nice break. All of this was super helpful. I'm grateful that I heard it at exactly the time I needed it. Thank you so much!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

I think I'm burnt out on a hobby I used to love... 😢...

[@edwardianspice1]

I’m so grateful you have posted this. I know this feeling so well xxx

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello how are you doing?

[@edwardianspice1]

I get that with my writing. A lot of rejections and working so hard to create the best work. It can be exhausting x

[@stoffls]

Now it makes sense, that I have the feeling my life is a roller coaster lately.

[@Katimorton]

xoxox

[@jaspermartin7444]

wow, I was actually just thinking of you yesterday and wondering where you've been/why I haven't seen you. You were the first and best therapist on youtube. Before you, there was a bunch of amateurs who initially started out good but then ran out of things to say, so inadvertently ended up saying ultimately harmful things. Glad to see you again and on such a timely topic cos yeah, I'm totally done with life.

[@MsOldmom]

I don't think others want anything to do with me anymore.

[@polinanikulina]

Running, late, and efficiency are my top 3 burnout thoughts, along with pejoratives. Escalating burnout feels like running on a treadmill that's rigged to go faster and faster. Catching myself staring into the distance thinking about nothing, as if my brain was forcing a break on me, is also a telltale sign that I'm overwhelmed and possibly burnt out. Not enjoying my work or studies is definitely the n.1 cause of burnout, but it's hard when burnout itself takes enjoyment out of everything.

[@justmechilling...]

This is me not drink/drugs i am binge eating. On the road in getting help...👍

[@Katimorton]

I am so glad you are working towards getting help. xoxo

[@adamloepker8057]

I have felt burned out since developing chronic dyspnea over two years ago on top of already having adhd and I honestly don't know what to do about it most days..

[@JobStoit]

You know it dawned on me (the simplest thing). That we often hold it together on our own, but it's literally in the English language that we're meant to hold it TOGETHER, as in actually have it there with other people that can hold space and allow things like that. Just a thought I thought was worth sharing

[@aliefahembd9988]

I have been dealing with sinus infections, inner ear infections, etc for over a year. I learned it’s all connected to stress. Idk how to not be stressed. I never feel healthy anymore it’s just my normal.

[@funkysoulman3861]

I've been burnt out for about the last 2 decades. I did pick up guitar 16 years ago and dropped smoking cigarettes and pot, alcohol, caffeine, fast food and sugar (except chocolate milk). After all the fake news of the last 7 or 8 years, I pretty much only turn on the tv to fall asleep. I've always had a regular sleep schedule. I love routine. I can't take a break though. I'm not very social. I'm super quiet to the point people think something is wrong. It's funny how I can play in bands on stage in front of people but hate speaking to people. Women don't really like that. Working seems to be my only purpose. Good thing I am OCD. I can hyperfocus on work or guitar until I am physically and mentally exhausted every single day. At 42, I don't think that spending every day in my own solitary confinement is healthy but it is my existence. I don't think I'd be here if I hadn't picked up a guitar.

[@sophieen6145]

Your shirt is fantastic ❤️ love to know where I can get one? Also, great video, thank you. I've always struggled with trying to reduce how much/often I burn out. I have sever depression so as soon as I have a boost of motivation /happiness I jump into doing a lot of stuff to make up for "lost time". I've recognised this but struggle to get the balance between doing lots and not doing enough.

[@amirsayafzadeh5394]

Do you know, Mrs. Doctor? I live in Iran and was traumatized by a psychologist. I went to her when I was 15 years old and she treated me like a kind mother; Then our relationship became romantic and I accidentally committed suicide 3 times! . That woman screamed with all cruelty. I was hospitalized in the psychiatric ward when I was 17 years old. Now I am 20 years old, I take 20 pills a day and I go to a proper psychologist and that psychiatrist who was in the hospital saved me, but my life is in hell now. I have constant suicidal thoughts, borderline personality disorder and severe depression and I am alone, there is no one in my life, no friends, nothing...

Hi Kati, what about being burned out from too too much of helping others, when they dont give back in a reciprocal enough manor..... selfcentered narcissistic father, mother with psychophrenia, who constantnly needs hours and hours of attention and help but doesnt even say thank you except on rare occassions and just asks for more and more and more; medical profession, where the staff are underpaid and overworked for years, yet the system says eveything is fine..... in other words relationships that are draining + work that is draining....

[@wherestheexit5046]

Connection But I think I have Avoidant personality disorder Basic needs But I don’t wanna take shower and I can’t sleep because of anxiety Take a break and do what I have no car and no money Be kind to others But I have no friends Find joy in the small things All of the above Yep that’s it I’m jumping.

[@eldeek3256]

Brilliant video, thanks Kati! Will defo be rewatching to remind me of these points ❤️

The cynic in me chuckled when suicide hotline was mentioned. Not saying don't get help. Just made me chuckle having the past I have.

Great Content! working out is one of the things that can help in our mental health especially now a days many problems risen thank you for your videos this really helps me. I love your videos looking forward on your new uploads.
