This could be a form of disassociation. It happens when life gets way difficult and more than you can handle so you kinda split off. It happens to me all the time, I feel it's a coping mechanism to help get through it so it doesn't completely overwhelm you. A good therapist could help, just choose wisely.

I have been meditating and doing mindfulness practices since the 90s, and significantly upped the amount of time spent doing so over the last 5 years or so, ramping up to when I lost my job in 2020. Now, months later, I would like to share an interesting observation. I was previously experiencing EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE 8 THINGS, and using meditation to “deal” with them. I got up an hour earlier every day so that I could meditate and get in a “good place’’ for my day. What I was avoiding looking at though is the fact that positive psychology is a COPING MECHANISM. I was misusing meditation as a tactic to convince myself to keep going down a path that was not beneficial for me. Instead of CHANGING things, I was simply trying to convince myself to “reframe” my circumstances. Meditation is a wonderful thing, but it is not a substitute for truth, purpose or genuine fulfillment in life.

Just realizing that ALL 8 things fit to me in the past 3 years makes just so much sense! Everything went down since my mother tried to kill my step-father back when I was 19. I had 3 Jobs + College, was lonely, had depression, didn't care for myself... just everything! It still makes me cry to think of that time now, but I'm doing way better today since I had professional therapy for the last 2 years and constantly trying on doing better! Just so you know, life can get so much better when you start trying it! Baby steps are enough for the beginning, also don't hesitate with trying to get an appointment at a therapist! I tried calling ~30 (the whole list the doctor gave me) and had two promises of an appointment back at the next day! You won't wait the often long expected time you think you have to, just start, you're doing well ☀️

Have emotional exhaustion during this pandemic when I have to stress about my income source. Keep working hard.

[@fernandobarbosa4051]

I was emotionally exhausted when I was starting university, in search for a better life for the future me, I focused all of my attention to the entrepreneur and business news, books, podcasts, it went to the point that I wasn't paying attention to any of my friends, family or even my life itself in search of that "dreamed" life, I lost myself. I didn't wanna make any new friends because I thought they were too "frivolous" or they didn't reached any of my expectations of what I thought was the "succesful" way. I wanted to stay at home all lonely, only there my mind was in peace. All of that changed during quarantine, I started thinking and asking to myself if truly giving up my youth and the pleasure of enjoying life was worth in order to achieve that goal. Now I decided to leave all of that behind, happy with myself, living every day of my life as it was my last day in this planet 💗.

[@lucychickable]

Omg i knew there was term! I explained to my friend my worries of feeling lost, lonely, quiting a job that over worked me physically and mentally, but over all I felt burnt out from wanting to help people. I dont want it to sound bad, but I've always been a person who puts other first. But like I've been thinking what about me and I feel like my career has come to a halt because of this pandemic. There were certain points I did relate to this video. I'm trying to stay strong for my family, for myself. There are dark moments but I'm thankful that I can find content that reminds me that there is a purpose to not feel lonely and keep moving forward.

[@spinnenpfotedonnerclan5318]

I can really relate to the feelings of emotional exhaustion from perfectionism and chronic illness. It's just kinda "always there" - either lurking in the background or everything's fine 'til there's a big project (perfection) or a medical emergency (illness). It also involves just feeling "bad" on many days from it. Just from either not wanting to screw up or having slight pain/feeling unwell (also emotionally) so that you don't manage to have as much fun with your hobbies as you used to. It's even worse when a depression is part of it. You have negative or numb feelings all of a sudden and you can't even totally explain why and it's driving you crazy. Thanks for mentioning/covering this!

[@purilaw.]

I'm currently on job hunting and it's so emotionally exhausting. I would fantasies about each job I applied, what life would have become, being excited and happy to finally make a change in my life. But when it's not happening, I would be depressed. The rapid changing are so tiring

[@Sunshine-yk2eg]

Check check check. All of them pretty much. I feel like I'm 62 when I'm only 22 and it sucks but the only way out is through so I'm hanging in there somehow.

I honestly hope you're able to find extraordinary joy soon and till then, as a very resilient fictional fish once said, let's just keep swimming lol 💪 💪

4 points - working long hours, perfectionism, poor self care, and big life changes. I have trouble letting go of work thoughts after hours because I'm worried about my mid-year review/being let go. I thought I had good job security as a software engineer but turns out that's not been the case. I'm a raging perfectionist; still working on that. Inability for good self-care because my roommate's father has been living with us for 2 months. I'm also moving this month. No wonder I'm exhausted.

I don't feel lonely because I know I have people I can reach out to but I definitely feel about 7 of your 8 signs though. Even more so with the last 3 years I would say pre-Covid. I feel it more with constant life, relationship, job, society changes. It feels like the world isn't steady anymore. There's no consistency we are all walking and crushing eggshells at this point. If you have survived through the pandemic it is true grace and a miracle I feel. Thank you for the advice and tips you are keeping me steady on the right path. Faith in God over Fear.

[@Resident--a]

Considering the last 12 months, I think it's safe to say that pretty much everyone has experienced sudden life changes and may have even been one of the many who lost someone. This last year has been filled to the brim with trauma and a lot of people seem to go out of their way to spread that trauma to others. There are some of us, who want you (yes, YOU) to be able to properly heal from all of this. If only you knew how truly amazing you actually are, and I mean that. Because if you're reading this, that means that you're still hanging on, no matter how painful that might be for you. You're still here and that is all that I can ask for. You can overcome this, you will overcome this and I know you will. Because that's what you humans do. You overcome adversity and you find the unique you in the process. Even if you have no faith in yourself or your own capability to do it. I know you can because you are human. There is no depth of words I could ever use that would truly illuminate just how powerful you are. So even if you don't believe in yourself, I believe in you.

Point 4 not only counts for those who have chronic illnesses, but those who live with others with chronic illnesses. I’m speaking from experience since my mom has a chronic illness that is somewhat similar to M.S. (Her condition is called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, or ME for short). She definitely does experience emotional burnout from time to time, and when she overdoes herself and has a bad crash, my dad and I have to take care of her and my brother who is on the autism spectrum. This impacts our mental health to the point of emotional burnout too.

Hi guys..I’m, this is my first comment ever on KZbin. I felt like it was important to share this. I was burnt out in a way that wasn’t seen as an outcome to my downfall, I had moved into an apartment with my boyfriend last June (it was supposed to be a test run for me, to see how I would like living on my own) It ended with me moving out 6months before the lease was up. My boyfriend, now Ex, and our roommate (who I barely knew to begin with) would argue with me on everything, I ended up shutting down entirely for four long months and didn’t have the strength to speak up or stand up for myself anymore. I got no reassurance, comfort, or encouragement on anything...just too much physical contact. My ex would throw my mistakes I made of 3+ years prior in my face like it had just happened yesterday. He would cut me off, shut me down, and shut me up. I was demanded to do things that violated my personal space, I was almost financially broke bc I was the only one buying all the food and paying my portion of bills on top of that. I felt lonely in the end and left out. I was abused in every way but physically in 6 months by my ex, and the worst part about it....he denies all of it...and pins the blame on me, So that he looks like the hero in the end. He never defended me on anything or backed me up in any way. I distanced myself from them, I felt broken and empty. I fear he’s added onto and caused more PTSD in my mind. (I have been diagnosed by a professional that i do have PTSD, Chronic.) I cry most days realizing what he did, or I’ll randomly shut down and hug one of my friends bc I’m scared, I flinch and get startled very easily bc of my ex (he’d fake hit me to get a reaction out of me). He told me to stop being so dramatic while I was depressed.... he was just so awful in my eyes, he’d grab and grope me every day even when I showed clear signs I didn’t want to be handled that way. He never listened to me....even when I did express my problems; he (and my roommate plus his girl) would make my problems worse by forcefully helping in a way that only helped them and in the end, was actually hurting me. I’m still frightened and emotionally drained from it as it just recently happened just a few days before Christmas 2020. I’m in a safe environment now surrounded by family members and friends that care. I feel free and I’ve cried in tears of joy because I’m free now from it.. even though it’s caused a lot of damage to my mental health, my therapist is helping me work through it all right now and I have a “therapy companion” I saved from outside, who’s helping me feel safe and loved as well. I hope those of you who have had major and minor burnouts recover quickly and healthily.

i recently went through a breakup, and being an introvert, i was all-dependent on her. after she left, she had easily replaced me with someone else, but i went into a deep pit of depression, because i was all alone in a new city without anyone to call my own. as the days are going by, i feel myself more and more depressed and emotionally drained. affecting my work, and many other aspects in my life. i miss my old days, and hate my present life. it's a living hell. and im not able to come out of it.

[@indigowendigo8165]

I can definitely relate to loneliness and financial stress if not possibly poor self care, and high pressure environments when I had school and work... :(

[@Officialprodbytreybeats]

I am drained on every level from life. Financial, relational, work, and life stress is absolutely killing me. I haven't slept more than 4 hours at a time in weeks. Im barely hanging on mentally with my depression and anxiety.

[@mkchristner]

I already knew I’m pretty emotionally burnt out, the last four years of my life have been jam packed with unfortunate circumstances and change. I’m not really myself much anymore, I don’t have time to and also losing the motivation along with the people I had been close to. I’m doing everything I can and keep facing hardships. It’s extremely depressing, but I don’t know what else to do but keep living, and going on fumes...

thank you so much for sharing this 💕 I just realized that keeping everything perfect is tiring, and by the end of this year I feel like I was too uptight to myself sometime to keep my routine on track and to chase a high goal that I set.

[@kyrarhoades514]

It’s good to get moving, As much as I hate trying to live when I’m having a bad mental health day, exercise and basic self care really do help. Wishing you the best

[@daisygirl1217]

When depression hits hard try to do at least one thing that day so that you feel you accomplished at least something It can be as easy as just making your bed. It's no longer getting through day by day, but more of minute by minute. Walking also helps a lot with depression. I have lived with major depression all my life so I know all too well how you feel. Hang in there...

[@daycc9913]

get some sunlight then

[@elkwolf2888]

That is a bad therapist. They should be helping you figure out how to be able to "get out of bed" (aka find motivation/not feel like you want to die). Ignore anyone telling you to do the exact thing you are asking for help doing, they are mindlessly repeating positivity propaganda. Look for people who can give you effective advice, such as asking you what has made it easier to get out of the bed in the past that you could make sure will happen in the morning before you go to bed. That one helps me a lot, though it still takes time and support from others to build self help habits. Ditch the crappy therapist, try a new one. Might have to shop around. I know it's super hard to do but if you can ask people for help finding a good therapist. There are websites that can help you find a good fit locally, it helps the process feel less overwhelming. While getting sunshine and exercising are indeed helpful, people will not understand that NOT BEING ABLE to do those things is the problem, even if you tell them point blank. Many cannot grasp that the brain is an organ that can be ill and thus not function correctly like any other. Even psychologists, if they only care about making money and not about helping people. So your best bet is to accept people are largely ignorant, ignore their ignorance when it is proven, and search for someone who can not only listen to your emotional turmoil without flinching but who can give you USEFUL, logic based advice. I hope I managed to help you where others have failed. Edited for typos.

[@bloodysovy8026]

Sadly. I related with a good 4 put of the 7. It definitely causes me to overeat and neglect my responsibilities and hobbies. It makes them more of a burden, than a fun thing to do. Also, I put off schoolwork for simple fun to destress, bc the more i think about all the issues i have to fix and face the more i ignore them. My parents also dont believe what I believe, and I couldn't have a full conversation on why I am the way I am. So, I distance myself. I say I'll find friends who'll understand me in high school, but Corona made that extremely hard, cause there is no physical school. And my other friends, I got too anxious about and I didn't understand so I distanced my self from them. I get them now, but I've lost thier numbers. I could maybe find some on my mom's phone, but I dont think I dont know if I should. Ok, dang. That was a rant

[@CrochetWithMe365]

I’m having major life changes, and I’m still a teenager which is messing with my future. I’m going back to my country because my dad is sending me back to my mum. I still have to go to school because I’m 16 (soon 17) but in my country the education system is different to England and it would be harder. Also the course I’m doing right now is not near the area my mum lives, it’s on the other side of the country, so I have to find an alternative. Fortunately, my mum and I have always been able to work stuff out and we get along so much better than my dad and I, so I’m hoping it’ll get better. Sorry this is so long, but if you read this, thank you, and I wish you all the best too!

I really wish I could see a doctor, but I'm still a 'kid' and I'm afraid of telling my parents I need to see someone that could help me. Also that 'lonly' part hit hard. I have 'friends' but I feel like there are only here for my grades and to get help from me. But when I need help, they literally make no effort and their only excuse is 'But you are clever, do it yourself!'. So I have no idea if I should concider them as friends or just random people in my class.

I have another one to add! Being a caregiver. At least for me. I'm 24 and I wasn't ready for this. I'm so incredibly grateful that my loved one is still with me, because it was a close one. But I must say that I'm having a hard time navigating this new normal, and I haven't been able to take care of myself since I suddenly took on this role. If there are any other caregivers reading my comment, do you feel the same way? Do you have any tips for people who are new to this?

[@Dolly_the_Witch]

I’ve been dealing with emotional exhaustion lately due to many factors listed in the video, the biggest one being chronic pain and illness I’ve been poorly coping/managing for the last couple months. I’m stressed financially because I can’t work rn because of the pain and the doctors I need to see aren’t available in my remote area due to high covid cases and a severely understaffed and underfunded hospitals. I’m disappointed, in my community and in my self. All I want is to feel like my normal self and not be crabby and drained, but nothing helps. Since all this has changed my everyday life for the time being my anxiety disorder has started to have flare ups and my normal coping and managing skills aren’t affective the way they used to be. Please don’t suggest anything for me I just wanted to share my feelings experience atm and vent a bit even if it’s just over the internet

[@rismaaisyah2537]

[@whizkiplz]

a day after i was born, my mom gave me away to my grandmother and left for America on a student visa later on. grew up living with my grandmother, i didn’t realize anything was different until i started growing older. i always struggled trying to understand myself. i’ve met my dad twice before. i know he doesn’t care about me. but i’m okay with that. i assume i’m a lot like him cause i’m definitely now like anyone else. i don’t fit in. over the past few years i’ve felt immense pressure to be someone i’m not. it’s really taking a toll on me, i’m not too good at maths and although i’ve been a near perfect student, my family always insults me for failing maths and doesn’t recognize my attempts at other subjects. i’m 17 now, done with highschool. over the past few years i was told that my mom planned to have me aborted. whenever my grandmother is angry, she tells me about how much of a favor she’s done by taking me in. “you’d be in a children’s home if it wasn’t for me”. that hurts me more than all the times she’s held a knife to my chest and thrown objects at me and threatened me with pans and pots. my childhood was ruined by my family. but it didn’t just stop there. over the past few years my mom has been trying to form a better relationship with me. i won’t go too deep into that because you can only imagine how that makes me feel. i don’t know if you’ll read all this but if you do, i hope you know that both me and you will get better. i love you and i’m always here if you need to talk.

While watching this, I cry for no reason I don't know recently I want to be alone but I can't. Because I need to help my parents for their business like I'm a cashier where I need to smile at my customers. Also, I can't take a rest properly since I have siblings and I'm older to them and need to take responsibility in everything in our house. Now, I'm getting sick, I feel stress since my body is not the same as before(im not healthy anymore) TT well I can't tell this to my parents, we don't have money for check-up my health. And they going to tell me that "I'm not doing anything!" HOW??! IM BUSY TAKING RESPONSIBILITY IN EVERYTHING IM TRIED!!! ALSO SCHOOL AAAAAAA... thanks for this video, I will solve this if not maybe I'm dead already.

[@ouddom2002]

[September 1st, 2021] It’s been 8 months since I’ve been giving my all, pouring all of my effort and energy, time and money into self-investment. This road which I’m taking sure is lonely. I haven’t lost my friends considering I didn’t have a close one to begin with, but those people that I met are still considered as my friends (even though I’m always left behind). No one understands me, maybe it’s because I’m too different from other. Forget what I just said, let get to the point. I hate myself for not being happy with my own progression. I spend so much time on studying that I lose most of the necessary time for self-love, self-care, keeping connections and more. I’ve spent so much time on self-investment like studying, building habits, working out really hard that I forget of my limitation numeral times. I want to change, but I have very scarce options.

Checklisting myself 1. High Pressure Environment Yes people do have high expectations on me, half of them comes from me pressuring myself too 2. Working or Studying for hours I mean it's normal school or 6 hours plus some homeworks and projects, but that itself already stresses me out. 3. Financial stress or poverty Thankfully, this one is safely off the list. 4. Living with a chronic illness, medical condition, or injury I have no physical injury, but I suspect myself having some mental condition signs. 5. Perfection I used to, not I hate it more that anything. 6. Loneliness Yes, very. I tried to chat my friends (still in quarantine) but none responded. 7. Poor self-care Kinda...? 8. Significant life changes Covid-19 Quarantine.
