a video for anyone going through a burnout

[@letterbox203]

All my life I’ve felt quite secure and confident and self-assured of all my decisions in life and only recently as life demands have lessened allowing me more time to be mindful of life again, I fell into an existential crisis especially after witnessing the death of my mother in my arms. Lost my footing in this life for a moment there and had to take time to ground myself again in the first principles I’ve come to accept. Going through this made me question my beliefs and values and truly tests what is important in life. I’m glad I had spent my life building on solid ground and not on quicksand because it made it easier for me to recover. I truly want to believe in the truest reality and as close as I can get to that, I will be happy. This is hard on days when you start to question even Rene Descartes “I think, therefore I am”. He seems to say existence precedes essence. What if our lives are just Gods thoughts? I say this because the Bible says “for in him (God), we live, we move, and we have our being”. This seems to say essence precedes existence!

Thank you for your words of encouragement ❤️❤️ I think I’m on the cusp on getting out of my burnout. I just choose to look at things differently and I feel much better about all the things I have do to on a daily/weekly basis. Taking a 2 day break helped SO much, I think we all just need a break sometimes (: Also the song is lovely ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful to hear you’re starting to find your footing again! So beautiful that you were able to listen to your body and take things into your own hands. We certainly do need a break every now and then. Thank you so much for your comment, sending love x

Thank you. I've been passively going through such a state as you describe for some months now and actively for the past month or so. It is exhausting and debilitating to such an extent it feels like it will never end. I'm happy to hear you managed to get better and I'll try to implement some of the coping methods you've talked about in my own life. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your comment, so glad this was able to be of some comfort to you! For what it’s worth, I’ve seen many people get to the other side of this, you’re not alone and this will end. Sending you lots of courage.
