The best way to deal with burnout is to listen to your own body. We overdo things that isn't healthy for our mental or physical health. Keeping in check when your body needs rest and food time to time and not abusing yourself mentally to overdo works. Your needs comes first stay hydrated, sleep well and eat healthy.❤
@@Psych2go For me only sleeping is not resting because no matter how much I sleep I still feel burned out. Rest should be like to be in peace of mind even in our chaotic days. After working out take yourself on a date like your favourite place or something or eat that favourite meal that makes your soul happy.
Yeah, some time people around you that doesn't understand psychology just labeled you as a weak because you give up or postponed your task, they really need to know the difference between burned out and lazy 😐
You pointed out something that's very important. "Sleeping isn't always resting; rest should be like having peace of mind even in our chaotic days." It's important that rest is both physical and mental. Thank you for sharing your insight.
I feel absolutely fried. The combination of a stressful job, toxic coworkers and brutal cost of living makes life just dreadful. The worst part it's never going to end.
I am going through this right now, and it's so wild how this was uploaded to give me understanding. I love the way God works. Mine has added depression, chronic pain and anxiety. I felt like I was loosing my mind before I spoke to someone. (Ive never experienced this before) Mental health is everything. Thank you for creating this channel.
Most definitely, I have to learn how to prioritize time for myself. I've been going like the energizer bunny for as long as I can remember. School, working full-time, family, finances, or other people issues has been non-stop. My mind, body and soul had enough and let me know it, in ways ive never experienced. I've learned thus far since im still working through this, the best solutions that organizations and being gentle on me when I feel I haven’t performed is key. And realize I do not have to solve everyone elses problems ❤ Please keep doing what you are doing. You have no idea how many souls you all continue to touch.
Thank you so much for the very sincere words of encouragement. We're so glad that you got something out of the video. It also sounds like you have lots of things going on in your life at the moment! We hope that you're able to give yourself the break that you deserve. And we hope you keep in mind, even the Energizer bunny needs a break! 🐰
Well, it is fun to see, as an autistic person, my weekly routine laid out as symptoms. Monday's usually fine. Tuesday the fatigue and sweet craving hits. Wednesday the high blood pressure hits. Thursday the stomach problems hit. I work 4 ten hour days so Friday is my first day of my weekend and that's when my weekly migraine hits and I sleep for 14-16 hours. Then I finally have two days of peace and normalcy before the cycle begins again. Thankfully never hit insomnia.
i have adhd and same 😂 i’ve eaten my weight in sugar recently and luckily my metabolism prevents it from hitting me but i feel the sleep deprivation and depression every day. i don’t wanna do this anymore. i also JUST found out that i don’t have to tell colleges if i get a 504? so i’ve been doing the hardest classes available without accommodations bc i was being ableist to myself thinking colleges were ableist too? im so fucking tired
@@imawakemymindisalive13 I feel ya. I only went through with a bachelor's degree out of pride because no one in my family had ever earned a degree before and my mother gave me her G.I. bill to pay for most of it. I graduated with a terrible GPA but i graduated which is all that mattered to me and it was pulling teeth the entire way because it wouldn't be until about 3 years after the fact that I got diagnosed.
Thank you all so much for this! I've been suffering from burnout lately with not just school, but personal stuff as well as I've been experiencing most of these symptoms lately. I will be trying to minus down my burnout and especially my stress levels, by following the advice you guys gave in this video. Thanks again for all your help!
Thank you for the encouraging words. We sincerely hope that this video will help you find the rest from your day to day activities and burnouts. We appreciate you for stopping by! :)
Burnout is not just about work. Caring and family responsibilities can be even more chronically stressful. Eg I am sole carer for my severely disabled husband. I do get some help but never never respite. There is no end and no way out. I can’t get signed off work by a doctor or leave my job. I love my husband who is kind and undemanding of me despite his physical helplessness but we are stuck where we are. It would be great if you could do more content on caring and family responsibilities and stresses not just work and study pressures. A lot of us viewers are an older demographic. Thank you for all you do.
When the algorithm hits...this is spot on for me right now, hoping to come out of it soon. There are some signs its getting easier luckily. Sending hugs to anyone going through the same, this is horrid and really isolating
@@Psych2go thank you, I've not been sleeping at all, can't make decisions at work and I've been avoiding tasks. Everything just building really. Ironic but I work in mental health so there's that pressure that I should be able to cope. Trying to limit pressure on myself and increase self care but it's difficult
It sounds like your current situation can't be easy. And let's also clarify that mental professionals are people too! Yes, we somehow expect mental health professionals to have all the answers when it comes to coping strategies but to know what to do in every single situation? That's unrealistic! So we hope you hang in there and that you give yourself a break that you deserve. Thank you again for sharing your personal experience with us.
I had burn out before and luckily not to the point where I experienced high blood pressure, heart or stomach problems. The constant fatigue, cravings for sweet, tension headaches and some sleep disturbance definitely were there. Also had a few moments of muscle tension...like slight tightness in the chest with heart palpitations a few times in the course of 1-2 yrs. Irritability and low patience were also constant. Found that I was venting about my job a lot. Even people around me noticed. Left that job and it's life changing. My body feels lighter. No longer in brain fog. Mood is much better and I don't vent about work anymore. Eat much better too!
Oh yeah, I can relate. Not currently, but in the past two years when I studied from home, stressing myself and still ran into walls during exams. Turns out having ADHD really doesn't help in such times
I mean, to be fair, working/studying from home is not so easy. Too many temptations! For you personally, how do you keep yourself focused when ADHD doesn't seem to be helping?
The timing of your videos is always exquisite... I've been feeling terribly tired and like I'm about to faint any minute now, but at least now I'll have more time to rest.
Damn, I feel a lot of these, along with my entire body aching. Its important not to push ourselves too hard, because the suffering is real. Can everyone relate to this feeling?
I can definitely relate 🙋 Sometimes, burnouts manifest themselves physically, which can feel painful and numbing. Are you personally experiencing this at this moment?
@@Psych2go Eh, kind of. I have a lot I want to do in life, a lot I have to do, and a lot I MUST do. It takes a lot of power to do all of these things, and it can be stressful at times. But I know the reward is more fulfilling than the pain.
It sounds like you're driven to accomplish something. That's very admirable. We hope that you're able to balance the desire to accomplish with well-deserved breaks. Yes, hard work and accomplishments can be rewarding but we also hope that you're taking care of yourself along the way! :)
I am burned out as a single woman with little responsibilities. Sometimes I wonder how single moms get through the day 🤔 just another reminder of why I don’t have kids. I can’t imagine being anymore burned out than I am now.
I’ve heard that burnout is caused not just from too much work, but also a lack of meaning or fulfillment in what you do. This is one of the reasons why doctors can work for DAYS at a time without getting burnt out, because they find their work meaningful. Going back to the single mothers, maybe they’re able to go through so much and do so much because they find that it’s meaningful for their child.
I read an article recently published by Johns Hopkins talking about the connection between gut health and mental health, specifically depression triggered by stress. I started eating yogurt and (thawed frozen) fruit for breakfast a few days each week and it's made a world of difference for me. I've also come to love kimchi and usually eat it straight out of the jar lol. Normally when I get stressed out, I can't handle anything and can barely get out of bed. But recently I've experienced being stressed and still perfectly able to manage my daily tasks. For everybody who is experiencing burnout, please be kind to yourselves and remember that taking care of YOU is super important!
I’ve been burnt out for a hot minute and I went out to a park yesterday and walked in the grass with my shoes off for 15 minutes. I almost cried. I felt the stress melting off of my shoulders (my shoulders have been hurting for months). It was incredible. Definitely recommend touching grass 🙌🏻 it’s legitimately good for you
The one about stomach problems with burnout was so real with me. I had acid reflux or would throw up blood for a few years until I quit the job I had at the time. I've never had that level of burnout since but it was terrible to do anything some days and had to call in to work which made the stomach issues worse because I needed the money at the time. I still get heartburn if I'm feeling stressed out.
@@raven4k998also in this boat, it’s starting to make sense why my boss and a couple other people at work deal with acid reflux and ulcers. Even now my gut feels like it’s worn out
@@astr43us yeah stress increases stomach acid which is how ulcers start is from to much acid in there you need to find something to calm you down to unwind or it will just get worse not better you have the power to fix it no one else but you can fix that before it becomes a problem
It's not that often that I say I like living where I do, but one of the benefits is I can go to doctor and get payed sick leave because of burnout. Specially if I say I'm also struggling with depression. I got two weeks leave for burnout from a doctor last year. It's sooooo helpful to have the chance to just...stop. Later of course I had battle the thoughts that I don't deserve time to stop or guilt that I even asked for help. But I guess I'm work in progress.
Nowadays, the stigmas against taking sick leave or "mental health day" seems to be slowly disappearing but there's still the belief that "mental health days" are considered lazy. However, taking mental health days can be just as important as taking rest when you're feeling physically ill. So it's great to see that you're taking the time you need to rest and that you're fighting to not feel guilty about it! :)
I get overwhelmed easily and the thought of just a few tasks I need to do in a day shuts me down. Even the thought of planning and prioritizing my tasks seems daunting sometimes, but today I gave chat gbt a try, had it schedule my day for me and literally put the whole schedule to the back of my mind. I feel so productive and not the least bit stressed (made sure I had big gaps between each task so I wasn't rushing). I think ill be doing this a lot more from now on
This video is made like the ending of the 7th episode of Chainsaw Man! this will be probably my favorite video forever! well drawn and also using the perfect character for the topic you were talking, also informative as always, keep up the good work!
Once I had many of the symptoms and told a “friend” about it and he said “no you don’t have burnout, that happens when you work over 100 hours per week”… when I quit the job I had at the time half of the symptoms went away but the other half remained so I’m suspecting my burnout is coming from living with my parents rather than the excessive demands of the job I had. A little bit of context: pandemic made me withdraw to my parents house while working for home so it felt like a blessing at first bc I didn’t had to pay rent with the catch that I had to help with house chores, but with my parents being elderly now i basically end up doing over 60% the work of 3 people combined, also with a super narrow vision of life (like they think the world still works as in the 70s-90s) and a superiority complex of “we know better because we’re old” they keep rejecting my decisions because “I’m still young so I still don’t know how to take good decisions” (well to be fair there is some truth to that, I could always leave and just pay rent to get that peace of mind I lack at home)
I work 10 hour days but only 4 days a week. Having a 3 day weekend makes it easy to take time off. Yet during that time I'm always in bed and have no motivation to do anything. How do you get started when getting started isn't an option. I've done counseling and meditation several times and the best people come up with is either to keep trying to find what works, or give it time. If over 20 years does nothing, I'm sure it's not working
I have a friend who has these symptoms most of the time, like, whenever she's stressed she has bad headaches and she doesn't sleep well. She also has really low self-esteem. I really wanted to help her with but I don't know what to do. And seeing her like this makes me worry a lot. This video at least helped a little.
I tend to experience burnout often. Someone that has been told that I only think of myself when I was a teen (granted I always try to help a lot and barely do things for myself), I put other people’s problems and feelings before my own. I buy things for my partner more than myself. Even while working, going home I would cook and clean as well and run errands. Maybe I have one day or two (not in a row) where I get a break to sit and relax. Burnouts mentally and physically are common for me.
I can feel it, if I don't take a timeout soon, a long one, I'm going to go crazy someday or I'll just keep driving myself to self-destruction FULL speed.
Burnout is a lot more familiar than I would like to admit - and I've pushed my limits a little too far on occasion. I do not see a way forward that doesn't involve quitting in some shape or form.
I've experienced introvert burnout before and the symptoms were similar in the video. I remember my stomach hurting and not giving myself tome to relax because of work and other things happening. I even had two panic attacks within a week. The best way I coped with it were going to therapy and writing a journal entry when necessary.
I don't know what happened to me, but just listening to this and breathing just made something click with me. I realized that i've been trying to force myself to go too fast performing my hobbies and thinking that i must improve immediately. I needed this.
I've been pushing myself for a few days now because I had a big assignment due. Now that it's passed (finished this morning :) I'm absolutely taking this week to chill, especially after this video. I need it
Whenever I watch these videos, I keep thinking about when I was in 7th grade, when these symptoms and other things mentioned in videos were the most controversial to my life. Yikes. Glad im much better now.
I have been dealing with every topic discussed since roughly 2018 and thought it may be PTSD from a prior career path, depression, memory loss issues, ADHD, laziness, etc. I couldn't really place it and out of fear of bad results, year after year, put off visiting a mental health expert. I have always thought it was my head that is messed up and needs to be fixed, but never seriously considered burnout until watching this randomly during a normal lunch break. I have a very busy lifestyle and rarely get a day to just fully shed any responsibilities. My brain is always pumping out stressful thoughts about what the future holds, I struggle to enjoy the good things in the here and now. I will consider that maybe burnout has been/is my issue, and will do my best to follow the advice of how to treat it. It would be amazing if it were something that I can have some control over without needing outside intervention.
I don't entirely understand how, but currently, my burnout is based on how much I can be a variable of. I don't understand exactly what I could be useful for or good at due to my education being so....spread out. I feel like the amount of science I understand is like a piece of toast that had to figure out the best thing to be put on it because the systems I've been a part of cannot help me in a impactful way. At this point, I can manage my mental state, yet confidence and overall consistency elude me. These videos have helped me understand what it is that confuses me when almost everyone I know calls me really smart , but somehow, I know very little about the depths of communication and culture. I hate cooking because of trauma (don't ask) and want to learn more, but the time it would take to learn enough to make real impact would take far too long for me to fully understand it well enough to make it worth knowing. Sometimes, I wonder if science is doomed after the scientists uncover the theory that proves everything.
I'm in an almost permanent state of burnout. I'm not sure what causes it entirely. It seems quite multi-faceted. Mental health issues definitely contribute a lot. Wish I could figure out how to beat it.
Perfectly timed! With exams around the corner, I've been looking for ways to combat my burnout and push through instead of giving up. Please continue to provide us with subtitles, but through youtube instead of plugging it on the screen. This way we can choose whether or not we want them, especially since the subtitles sometimes cover up the title of a section of the video. Thank you for providing educational and helpful videos like this for the public!
Thank you for sharing! Glad the subtitles are helpful. We appreciate your support and are glad to hear that our videos have been helpful to you. Have you tried any specific strategies to combat burnout during exam periods?
@@Psych2go Thank you for your response! I've tried running as anxiety leaves your body waiting for a flight or fight response, so running tells your body that you are away from danger. I have been resting when my body needs it, meditating, moving during my breaks, incorporating more nutritional food into my diet (especially fruits!) and sleeping earlier. Since I am studying more hours, my body seems to need more hours of sleep. As you can see I'm trying everything I can as I have made the mistake of overworking myself and not doing well on my exam due to my exhaustion, and I am determined to not let that happen again!
I've been starting to feel burnt out the past few weeks. Now on Christmas break, I thought it would go away, however, I still have much left to do. I am making sure I take a break. And I want to plan ahead to make sure I don't feel overwhelmed when I go back to school in the new year.
Yes, I have been burnt out because I’ve had to work on projects for like a few months and I never took a break. I learned now that I should take breaks probably every hour and I usually take like five minutes and then I go back to work.
Try the Pomodoro Technique! It helps you to work in 25 minute spurts with short breaks in between. Maybe it will help you to feel less burned out if you can, as you said, give yourself a short break every hour or so :)
I have a friend who is obviously burnt out, I watched this video so just in case this topic comes when we're communicating, I can understand how they feel and give them tips on how to improve their mental health
For my own experience, I felt felt all the signs first. It wasn't until after my body finally crashed from the constant insomnia and pain in my chest and my stomach always feeling like it was fire... That I finally thought "Damn I'm burned out." I feel like I never entirely recovered, but I did learn how to keep the stress down. Now, recovering without the stresss feels weird. It's like knowing things need to get done, but not feeling any urgency because for so long everything was equally important, so now nothing seems like it is. That's not too say I'm not grateful for learning to finally live without the pain in my chest or the insomnia. That's fantastic. Readjusting is just... Different.
I am curently taking time off work because of a burnout. I Was already in the midst of it at the end of last year, but since I had a 3 week vacation over christmas it kinda got pushed away for the time being. But now only a few months later it catched up to me. I Just started bawling my eyes out last week at work, and couldnt stop if my life depended on it. I Couldnt concentrate on anything, I was dehydrated due to stress and just felt this overwhelming guilt in me. So I saw my physician and he gave me time off work. Now I am laying here watching videos like this because I am still so anxious and feel guilty that I am not at work. Luckily I got myself an apointment for a psychologist in a few days, and I really hope I can get into therapy. I dont know what I should do otherwise.
hey! I wondered if you would one day cover "cyclothymia"? I haven't been diagnosed, but I'd like to learn about it in a way that it's not compared to bipolar disorder (even if many say that cyclothymia is a bipolar disorder), because when professionals talk about it, it feels as if they call cyclothymia an "easier" condition because bipolar is worse. And I understand that reasoning very much, but just because a disorder is milder doesn't mean it is simply to deal with. And you all always educate us so free of judgement, and I've had enough of being guilt-tripped for not being okay. Of course, I know your videos aren't diagnostic tools. Thank you for all you do
Thank you for this video. I'm dealing with serious burnout. I have virtually all of these signs. I'm always tired, I constantly crave sweets, headaches have been daily, I have a light chest pain here and there, stomach aches, and I never feel like I get enough sleep. A doctor visit yesterday led to me being given a diagnosis of hypertension, so I'm working on getting my blood pressure down. I feel like my job has everything to do with it... but at the same time I have nowhere else to go. I feel lost, I feel stuck. :(
Yep, this checks out ALL of the stuff I'm going through. Being home for the worst of the past 3 years during the pandemic really gave me no mental rest with an explosive dad and unhealthy talks over dinner. Ironic for wanting proper healthy meals tbh. I'm in a different country now and moving out to another place to stay soon, but the thought of it reduces me nearly into tears, which only worsened when my mom called me earlier. Why am I even alive?
I am burned out and this explains it! Last year I worked as an underwater photographer and every time after I get back from a dive I craved for really sweet drinks and after a few weeks of diving every other day I felt tired and unmotivated to do the work I was doing even though it was a dream job of mine. This year I started working in a PR Agency and during the first month I was extremely motivated doing the work but after the honeymoon period I started craving sweet drinks and chocolates. I never really knew why this was happening knowing that I didn't have a sweet tooth growing up. Thank you for the knowledge. I now understand why this is happening. :)
Is it the amount of work, the longevity of the work, the type of work, your environment or your colleague / social circle the thing that's stressing you about it?
I literally needed to watch this video. I have been working every day for about a month now with no days off because I was needed at work. I really love this channel as it helps me think about my overall mental health. Thank you very much for making all this helpful videos.
We're glad to hear that our video was timely for you and that our channel has been beneficial to your mental health. It's important to prioritize self-care, especially when you've been working consistently without any days off. Remember to take breaks and give yourself time to recharge. Is there any specific topic or aspect of mental health that you find particularly helpful or interesting? We appreciate your support!
I used to watch you when i was younger, like 12 to 13 years old when i was wistful to get a boyfriend and would watch all the videos about how to know if we are in love and things. As I got older I stopped watching those sorts of videos. But this was so perfectly placed. I mean I know im burntout. I dont need to see all the signs. The constant physical and mental exetion and stress and also the demotivation to do anything is a pretty clear sign to me. I am going forward with everything though, im not letting burnout stop me but keeping on top of the physical and mental strain is hard. Youd think getting a break helps and a proper sleep since I dont get to do that on school days. But the truth is, no matter how much sleep I get im always tired and everyone can tell that im not 100%. Right now I have some exams coming up where I feel the need to push myself to get the best result I can and ive been compensating for that with sugar. Not plain sugar but really sweet tea. Also a lot of food instead of forgetting to eat. I mean I do forget sometimes but usually im snacking on something. Im glad to see that youre still here spreading information about these sorts of things. Mental health is really important.
I'm definitely experiencing burnout of some sort. I have been growing more and more tired, and I am CRAVING sweets beyond my own compression. It's gotta really unhealthy and I super nervous about it. The tension headaches happen as well. It's crazy scary.
I've had all of these except the high blood pressure in the last two years, starting during the pandemic. I went to the doctor about palpations and panic attacks, went through a battery of tests, and got told there was nothing wrong with me. They never even asked about stress or anything. For the palpations, I found taking magnesium and a B vitamin complex daily helped. I still get them from time to time, but not as severe. Lot of folks swear by low carb diets too. Of course the usual disclaimer that your mileage my vary, consult a doctor, etc. Really finding ways to manage the stress is key, and I haven't quite figured that out yet.
It took me half the video to recognize the characters...hahaha. Great choice!!! Also, excellent video. I am experiencing burnout now, and taking a much needed break. Thank you for these tips on how to handle it!
The reason for junk food is not just "not feeling to cook". If I have cooked rice already,I would prefer making spicy noodles. It might seem weird, but I purposely eat the food that I know will harm me😭 And I already have high stomach acid
Yes i've dealt with almost all these issues. Before the pandemic i had to be let out of school permanently, because of having fibromyalgia at a young age. But while i was happy i didnt have school to worry about, i realized over time when i worked on my own projects (i do art and animation) i experienced burnout without even knowing what it is. Burnout is terrible so im glad to see some information on how to deal with it in this channel! Thanks for making this video psych2go! ^w^ Another tip is to take as many breaks as you can, (where you eat healthy/do nothing) if eveything is too overwhelming.
there is a way to help find something to distress you figuring out something to relax and revitalize you is the best way to over come stress in your life
@@raven4k998 yeah. For me I've compiled a music playlist of calming music, and that usually gets me by. (Along with listening to my favourite songs playlist)
I feel like I'm burned out every day of my life of existence. My health is decreasing getting worse until exhausted sleeping all day through the rest of the day-and-night and noon. And that nothing is getting better but tired everyday but i continue to go
I remember 12 years working at the same company and getting stucked and burned out constantely. Thanks God I've changed the working place, feel much better now for almost 2 years.
As somebody who is a volunteer EMT and a full-time mechanic but also runs a side business landscaping and also volunteers at a horse stable I needed this video
I have been experiencing burn out for the past 5 years or so, and has gotten worse over the last 2 years. I really need to change my job to promote healthier habits, and start acting on these habits too. I’m so sick of not being motivated to complete tasks and feeling like I have so much work to do when in fact it’s just a few simple tasks. Even getting better sleep would be lovely. Hopefully I’m not burnt out enough to start working on these things.
seeing this in my recommended probably means i should take a nap, i’m so tired man. thank you for this ❤️ BUT OMG KOBENI MY BELOVED ❤️❤️ SHE’S SO CUTEE
i have high bp from stress/anxiety and my gut is always swollen/bloated/i used to have ibs now im good. ive gotten my bp under control when i check it im eating clean and losing fat off my body not just water weight been talking for the last 6 months to a therapist about grief and whatnot which has been helpful in just chilling. ive burnt out so much that im just numb but am finally getting back to being my human self. suggest walking as much as you can, stop drinking soda eating processed foods/fast foods, eat clean, and just chill knowing you cant control everything.
I just became a manager and I have been feeling burnout, I have been feeling most of these symptoms lately and this gives me new hope in refreshing myself❤
I do feel burnout from my work because my work is pretty physically required. I just wanna just stay home and rest at home and call in sick. I work on a shift schedule like 12hrs shifts on 2 days and 2 nights shifts.
Same. I work overnight and barely sleep, plus my kids and pets keep me busy too, I'm so tired and sleepy all the time, story of my life feeling burned out
I don't know if it's burnout or what! I feel like not doing anything! And m stressed cause m not doing anything! All symptoms matches perfectly with me! So is it burnout?
Yeah siting along is also feel like lazy but it's I think something else sometines it's burnout and we don't give attention and after it caused we dont know that what is happening am I right 😢
I had my therapy session this morning, amidst tears and expressions of fear that I was nearing a nervous breakdown. I had one in the 90’s and clearly recall the feelings leading up to it. I have a truly massive “ toolbox “ of self help tips/ techniques that I’ve created over the last decade but why I’m not using ANY of it lately is anyone’s guess!
That's how I've been living while staying at my mom's house. I just don't feel like it's my place and so I feel like this 24/7 I really can't wait to just go away
Not sure if this was from my prior comment. But this video was amazing thank you. If at all feasible or done before I think a video on helping young adults aged 18-24 range with those that are stuck living in toxic home environments with no feasible way out or so they see. Not in a suicidal sense but more of a mental sense of stunted growth into adult hood or oppression by people who entrap them. Example someone i know is a young adult (in aforementioned range) but she is basically trapped at home with her mentally abusive parents. She feels hopeless everyday in that she cant go anywhere for monetary reasons. Her mom forced home schooled her and withholds her GED from her as well as both parents forcing her to stay home while they do family activities with the younger brother. Make her do chores, etc. I have been trying to keep her afloat and giving her advice for possible avenues of education but monetary issue and her own willpower under this constant barrage is a hard fight. Somewhat relevant too as COVID happening and the economic issues are seeing adults forced to live with parents longer than the "standard" timeline. This affecting secondary education, delaying careers and making young adults feel far behind peers in their age group due to not following "the norm".
2:41 …It’s worse for people with ADHD (unsure about Autism?), & other Executive Disfunctions. Our brains literally do not process happy chemicals well… Many develop a sweet tooth to make up for the happy chemicals we don’t usually process in an attempt to make up for how often we feel “bad” feelings. Feelings, emotions, & thoughts just are. Each of us need to meet our feelings kindly, mindfully, & objectively, otherwise it would make it hard to accept our own neurodiverse existence.
At first I thought I was just tired but after seeing the signs I realized that I actually had burned-out my life is a real mess the people I work with are a really pain in my ass and my work is overwhelming for me to do I am glad that I got myself a mental health doctor to talk about my problems and psy2go is the best you always know how to make me feel better talk about my problem make me feel so much better you guy are the best 😊😉❤️👍☺️
I have been crying lately from thinking about stuff that happened and will so all of your videos are really helping me out my brother is in therapy and my mom says she thinks I should to because I am so worried about what other people will think
Sadly, I lived everything on that list in 2022, my heart was in a bad situation, and I can't sleep either I'm addicted to desserts, chocolates, etc had always a big headache, and more. Whenever I look at the past I am proud of myself because I lived all of this and am still able to move on.

AW HELL NAH
The best way to deal with burnout is to listen to your own body. We overdo things that isn't healthy for our mental or physical health. Keeping in check when your body needs rest and food time to time and not abusing yourself mentally to overdo works. Your needs comes first stay hydrated, sleep well and eat healthy.❤
What do you do personally when you want to give your body rest and food? Do you have any personal routines that you can share?
@@Psych2go For me only sleeping is not resting because no matter how much I sleep I still feel burned out. Rest should be like to be in peace of mind even in our chaotic days. After working out take yourself on a date like your favourite place or something or eat that favourite meal that makes your soul happy.
Yeah, some time people around you that doesn't understand psychology just labeled you as a weak because you give up or postponed your task, they really need to know the difference between burned out and lazy 😐
You pointed out something that's very important. "Sleeping isn't always resting; rest should be like having peace of mind even in our chaotic days." It's important that rest is both physical and mental. Thank you for sharing your insight.

I feel absolutely fried. The combination of a stressful job, toxic coworkers and brutal cost of living makes life just dreadful. The worst part it's never going to end.
I am going through this right now, and it's so wild how this was uploaded to give me understanding. I love the way God works. Mine has added depression, chronic pain and anxiety. I felt like I was loosing my mind before I spoke to someone. (Ive never experienced this before) Mental health is everything. Thank you for creating this channel.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us. Did the video provide you with some insight into the burnout that you're experiencing?
Most definitely, I have to learn how to prioritize time for myself. I've been going like the energizer bunny for as long as I can remember. School, working full-time, family, finances, or other people issues has been non-stop. My mind, body and soul had enough and let me know it, in ways ive never experienced. I've learned thus far since im still working through this, the best solutions that organizations and being gentle on me when I feel I haven’t performed is key. And realize I do not have to solve everyone elses problems ❤ Please keep doing what you are doing. You have no idea how many souls you all continue to touch.
Thank you so much for the very sincere words of encouragement. We're so glad that you got something out of the video. It also sounds like you have lots of things going on in your life at the moment! We hope that you're able to give yourself the break that you deserve. And we hope you keep in mind, even the Energizer bunny needs a break! 🐰
Hi, I'm also going through this right now! I'm trying everything to get better.

Well, it is fun to see, as an autistic person, my weekly routine laid out as symptoms. Monday's usually fine. Tuesday the fatigue and sweet craving hits. Wednesday the high blood pressure hits. Thursday the stomach problems hit. I work 4 ten hour days so Friday is my first day of my weekend and that's when my weekly migraine hits and I sleep for 14-16 hours. Then I finally have two days of peace and normalcy before the cycle begins again. Thankfully never hit insomnia.
i have adhd and same 😂 i’ve eaten my weight in sugar recently and luckily my metabolism prevents it from hitting me but i feel the sleep deprivation and depression every day. i don’t wanna do this anymore. i also JUST found out that i don’t have to tell colleges if i get a 504? so i’ve been doing the hardest classes available without accommodations bc i was being ableist to myself thinking colleges were ableist too? im so fucking tired
@@imawakemymindisalive13 I feel ya. I only went through with a bachelor's degree out of pride because no one in my family had ever earned a degree before and my mother gave me her G.I. bill to pay for most of it. I graduated with a terrible GPA but i graduated which is all that mattered to me and it was pulling teeth the entire way because it wouldn't be until about 3 years after the fact that I got diagnosed.
Thank you all so much for this! I've been suffering from burnout lately with not just school, but personal stuff as well as I've been experiencing most of these symptoms lately. I will be trying to minus down my burnout and especially my stress levels, by following the advice you guys gave in this video. Thanks again for all your help!
Thank you for the encouraging words. We sincerely hope that this video will help you find the rest from your day to day activities and burnouts. We appreciate you for stopping by! :)
Praying for you, ❤ burnout is serious and I hope everyone has a way to combat it🎉❤
Burnout is not just about work. Caring and family responsibilities can be even more chronically stressful. Eg I am sole carer for my severely disabled husband. I do get some help but never never respite. There is no end and no way out. I can’t get signed off work by a doctor or leave my job. I love my husband who is kind and undemanding of me despite his physical helplessness but we are stuck where we are.
It would be great if you could do more content on caring and family responsibilities and stresses not just work and study pressures. A lot of us viewers are an older demographic.
Thank you for all you do.
And many people work jobs on top of caring responsibilities. Or have to give up work to care for someone which usually means permanent money worries.
When the algorithm hits...this is spot on for me right now, hoping to come out of it soon. There are some signs its getting easier luckily. Sending hugs to anyone going through the same, this is horrid and really isolating
Thank you for sharing your experience and for the hugs. How are you doing in the midst of your burnout? How are you coping with it?
@@Psych2go thank you, I've not been sleeping at all, can't make decisions at work and I've been avoiding tasks. Everything just building really. Ironic but I work in mental health so there's that pressure that I should be able to cope. Trying to limit pressure on myself and increase self care but it's difficult
It sounds like your current situation can't be easy. And let's also clarify that mental professionals are people too! Yes, we somehow expect mental health professionals to have all the answers when it comes to coping strategies but to know what to do in every single situation? That's unrealistic! So we hope you hang in there and that you give yourself a break that you deserve. Thank you again for sharing your personal experience with us.
@@Psych2go thank you for that and for the helpful videos x
I had burn out before and luckily not to the point where I experienced high blood pressure, heart or stomach problems. The constant fatigue, cravings for sweet, tension headaches and some sleep disturbance definitely were there. Also had a few moments of muscle tension...like slight tightness in the chest with heart palpitations a few times in the course of 1-2 yrs. Irritability and low patience were also constant. Found that I was venting about my job a lot. Even people around me noticed. Left that job and it's life changing. My body feels lighter. No longer in brain fog. Mood is much better and I don't vent about work anymore. Eat much better too!
Oh yeah, I can relate. Not currently, but in the past two years when I studied from home, stressing myself and still ran into walls during exams. Turns out having ADHD really doesn't help in such times
I mean, to be fair, working/studying from home is not so easy. Too many temptations!
For you personally, how do you keep yourself focused when ADHD doesn't seem to be helping?
@@Psych2go that's something I'm working on with a therapist haha
I'll let you know when I learn more!
@@snjert8406 did you find anything out cause im having the same problem but cant accsuse a tharipist
(Sorry for my bad grammer)
The timing of your videos is always exquisite... I've been feeling terribly tired and like I'm about to faint any minute now, but at least now I'll have more time to rest.
What do you think has been causing you to feel so tired?
Damn, I feel a lot of these, along with my entire body aching. Its important not to push ourselves too hard, because the suffering is real. Can everyone relate to this feeling?
I can definitely relate 🙋 Sometimes, burnouts manifest themselves physically, which can feel painful and numbing. Are you personally experiencing this at this moment?
@@Psych2go Eh, kind of. I have a lot I want to do in life, a lot I have to do, and a lot I MUST do. It takes a lot of power to do all of these things, and it can be stressful at times. But I know the reward is more fulfilling than the pain.
@@Amirisphere do you feel everytime you sleep it gets worse? and people suddenly become so annoying?
It sounds like you're driven to accomplish something. That's very admirable. We hope that you're able to balance the desire to accomplish with well-deserved breaks. Yes, hard work and accomplishments can be rewarding but we also hope that you're taking care of yourself along the way! :)
@@arjunsinha212 Oh, DEFINITELY! It can be tiring at times, but hey. You've gotta do what you've gotta do.
I am burned out as a single woman with little responsibilities. Sometimes I wonder how single moms get through the day 🤔 just another reminder of why I don’t have kids. I can’t imagine being anymore burned out than I am now.
I’ve heard that burnout is caused not just from too much work, but also a lack of meaning or fulfillment in what you do. This is one of the reasons why doctors can work for DAYS at a time without getting burnt out, because they find their work meaningful. Going back to the single mothers, maybe they’re able to go through so much and do so much because they find that it’s meaningful for their child.
I read an article recently published by Johns Hopkins talking about the connection between gut health and mental health, specifically depression triggered by stress. I started eating yogurt and (thawed frozen) fruit for breakfast a few days each week and it's made a world of difference for me. I've also come to love kimchi and usually eat it straight out of the jar lol. Normally when I get stressed out, I can't handle anything and can barely get out of bed. But recently I've experienced being stressed and still perfectly able to manage my daily tasks. For everybody who is experiencing burnout, please be kind to yourselves and remember that taking care of YOU is super important!
I’ve been burnt out for a hot minute and I went out to a park yesterday and walked in the grass with my shoes off for 15 minutes. I almost cried. I felt the stress melting off of my shoulders (my shoulders have been hurting for months). It was incredible. Definitely recommend touching grass 🙌🏻 it’s legitimately good for you
The one about stomach problems with burnout was so real with me. I had acid reflux or would throw up blood for a few years until I quit the job I had at the time. I've never had that level of burnout since but it was terrible to do anything some days and had to call in to work which made the stomach issues worse because I needed the money at the time. I still get heartburn if I'm feeling stressed out.
yeah ulcers are a real pain they can drive you mad
@@raven4k998also in this boat, it’s starting to make sense why my boss and a couple other people at work deal with acid reflux and ulcers. Even now my gut feels like it’s worn out
@@astr43us yeah stress increases stomach acid which is how ulcers start is from to much acid in there you need to find something to calm you down to unwind or it will just get worse not better you have the power to fix it no one else but you can fix that before it becomes a problem
It's not that often that I say I like living where I do, but one of the benefits is I can go to doctor and get payed sick leave because of burnout. Specially if I say I'm also struggling with depression. I got two weeks leave for burnout from a doctor last year. It's sooooo helpful to have the chance to just...stop. Later of course I had battle the thoughts that I don't deserve time to stop or guilt that I even asked for help. But I guess I'm work in progress.
Nowadays, the stigmas against taking sick leave or "mental health day" seems to be slowly disappearing but there's still the belief that "mental health days" are considered lazy. However, taking mental health days can be just as important as taking rest when you're feeling physically ill. So it's great to see that you're taking the time you need to rest and that you're fighting to not feel guilty about it! :)
I get overwhelmed easily and the thought of just a few tasks I need to do in a day shuts me down. Even the thought of planning and prioritizing my tasks seems daunting sometimes, but today I gave chat gbt a try, had it schedule my day for me and literally put the whole schedule to the back of my mind. I feel so productive and not the least bit stressed (made sure I had big gaps between each task so I wasn't rushing). I think ill be doing this a lot more from now on

Once I had many of the symptoms and told a “friend” about it and he said “no you don’t have burnout, that happens when you work over 100 hours per week”… when I quit the job I had at the time half of the symptoms went away but the other half remained so I’m suspecting my burnout is coming from living with my parents rather than the excessive demands of the job I had.
A little bit of context: pandemic made me withdraw to my parents house while working for home so it felt like a blessing at first bc I didn’t had to pay rent with the catch that I had to help with house chores, but with my parents being elderly now i basically end up doing over 60% the work of 3 people combined, also with a super narrow vision of life (like they think the world still works as in the 70s-90s) and a superiority complex of “we know better because we’re old” they keep rejecting my decisions because “I’m still young so I still don’t know how to take good decisions” (well to be fair there is some truth to that, I could always leave and just pay rent to get that peace of mind I lack at home)
I work 10 hour days but only 4 days a week. Having a 3 day weekend makes it easy to take time off. Yet during that time I'm always in bed and have no motivation to do anything. How do you get started when getting started isn't an option. I've done counseling and meditation several times and the best people come up with is either to keep trying to find what works, or give it time. If over 20 years does nothing, I'm sure it's not working
Do you feel like maybe the 10 hour days are taking a toll on you? Or are you more or less used to it by now?
I have a friend who has these symptoms most of the time, like, whenever she's stressed she has bad headaches and she doesn't sleep well. She also has really low self-esteem. I really wanted to help her with but I don't know what to do. And seeing her like this makes me worry a lot. This video at least helped a little.
Man, I feel like i get burnt out every semester lol
This brings back memrories that I hope to forget...😭
Real
I tend to experience burnout often. Someone that has been told that I only think of myself when I was a teen (granted I always try to help a lot and barely do things for myself), I put other people’s problems and feelings before my own. I buy things for my partner more than myself. Even while working, going home I would cook and clean as well and run errands. Maybe I have one day or two (not in a row) where I get a break to sit and relax. Burnouts mentally and physically are common for me.
I needed to hear this today, I keep having reoccurring meltdowns because I'm overstressed and always burnt out for 2 weeks+
How come? What has been causing you to feel stressed and burnt out?
My unmanaged stress and depression lead me hospitalized from a psychotic episode. Burnout is no joke! Please take care of yourself
I can feel it, if I don't take a timeout soon, a long one, I'm going to go crazy someday or I'll just keep driving myself to self-destruction FULL speed.
I feel burned out like all the time. Because I get stressed, tense, and anxiety etc from situations all kinds
Too relatable.. 😢
She has the calmest voice and give me chills💖
Burnout is a lot more familiar than I would like to admit - and I've pushed my limits a little too far on occasion. I do not see a way forward that doesn't involve quitting in some shape or form.
I've experienced introvert burnout before and the symptoms were similar in the video. I remember my stomach hurting and not giving myself tome to relax because of work and other things happening. I even had two panic attacks within a week. The best way I coped with it were going to therapy and writing a journal entry when necessary.
The mental exertion school has been giving me lately is intense, I'm so happy summer is near.
I don't know what happened to me, but just listening to this and breathing just made something click with me. I realized that i've been trying to force myself to go too fast performing my hobbies and thinking that i must improve immediately. I needed this.
I've been pushing myself for a few days now because I had a big assignment due. Now that it's passed (finished this morning :) I'm absolutely taking this week to chill, especially after this video. I need it
Congratulations on finishing that big assignment! Hope you have a good week of rest!
Whenever I watch these videos, I keep thinking about when I was in 7th grade, when these symptoms and other things mentioned in videos were the most controversial to my life. Yikes. Glad im much better now.
I have been dealing with every topic discussed since roughly 2018 and thought it may be PTSD from a prior career path, depression, memory loss issues, ADHD, laziness, etc. I couldn't really place it and out of fear of bad results, year after year, put off visiting a mental health expert. I have always thought it was my head that is messed up and needs to be fixed, but never seriously considered burnout until watching this randomly during a normal lunch break. I have a very busy lifestyle and rarely get a day to just fully shed any responsibilities. My brain is always pumping out stressful thoughts about what the future holds, I struggle to enjoy the good things in the here and now. I will consider that maybe burnout has been/is my issue, and will do my best to follow the advice of how to treat it. It would be amazing if it were something that I can have some control over without needing outside intervention.
I would encourage you to go to a mental health professional. It was one of the best decisions in my life.
I don't entirely understand how, but currently, my burnout is based on how much I can be a variable of. I don't understand exactly what I could be useful for or good at due to my education being so....spread out. I feel like the amount of science I understand is like a piece of toast that had to figure out the best thing to be put on it because the systems I've been a part of cannot help me in a impactful way. At this point, I can manage my mental state, yet confidence and overall consistency elude me. These videos have helped me understand what it is that confuses me when almost everyone I know calls me really smart , but somehow, I know very little about the depths of communication and culture. I hate cooking because of trauma (don't ask) and want to learn more, but the time it would take to learn enough to make real impact would take far too long for me to fully understand it well enough to make it worth knowing.
Sometimes, I wonder if science is doomed after the scientists uncover the theory that proves everything.
I'm in an almost permanent state of burnout. I'm not sure what causes it entirely. It seems quite multi-faceted. Mental health issues definitely contribute a lot. Wish I could figure out how to beat it.
I usually feel burnt out so telling me what to do really helped thanks Psych2Go!❤

@@Psych2go do you ever had burnout if you had so at that time what you did ?

@@Psych2go Thank you for your response!
I've tried running as anxiety leaves your body waiting for a flight or fight response, so running tells your body that you are away from danger. I have been resting when my body needs it, meditating, moving during my breaks, incorporating more nutritional food into my diet (especially fruits!) and sleeping earlier. Since I am studying more hours, my body seems to need more hours of sleep. As you can see I'm trying everything I can as I have made the mistake of overworking myself and not doing well on my exam due to my exhaustion, and I am determined to not let that happen again!
I've been starting to feel burnt out the past few weeks. Now on Christmas break, I thought it would go away, however, I still have much left to do. I am making sure I take a break. And I want to plan ahead to make sure I don't feel overwhelmed when I go back to school in the new year.
Yes, I have been burnt out because I’ve had to work on projects for like a few months and I never took a break. I learned now that I should take breaks probably every hour and I usually take like five minutes and then I go back to work.
Try the Pomodoro Technique! It helps you to work in 25 minute spurts with short breaks in between. Maybe it will help you to feel less burned out if you can, as you said, give yourself a short break every hour or so :)
I have a friend who is obviously burnt out, I watched this video so just in case this topic comes when we're communicating, I can understand how they feel and give them tips on how to improve their mental health
For my own experience, I felt felt all the signs first. It wasn't until after my body finally crashed from the constant insomnia and pain in my chest and my stomach always feeling like it was fire... That I finally thought "Damn I'm burned out." I feel like I never entirely recovered, but I did learn how to keep the stress down. Now, recovering without the stresss feels weird. It's like knowing things need to get done, but not feeling any urgency because for so long everything was equally important, so now nothing seems like it is. That's not too say I'm not grateful for learning to finally live without the pain in my chest or the insomnia. That's fantastic. Readjusting is just... Different.
I am curently taking time off work because of a burnout. I Was already in the midst of it at the end of last year, but since I had a 3 week vacation over christmas it kinda got pushed away for the time being. But now only a few months later it catched up to me. I Just started bawling my eyes out last week at work, and couldnt stop if my life depended on it. I Couldnt concentrate on anything, I was dehydrated due to stress and just felt this overwhelming guilt in me. So I saw my physician and he gave me time off work. Now I am laying here watching videos like this because I am still so anxious and feel guilty that I am not at work. Luckily I got myself an apointment for a psychologist in a few days, and I really hope I can get into therapy. I dont know what I should do otherwise.
hey! I wondered if you would one day cover "cyclothymia"? I haven't been diagnosed, but I'd like to learn about it in a way that it's not compared to bipolar disorder (even if many say that cyclothymia is a bipolar disorder), because when professionals talk about it, it feels as if they call cyclothymia an "easier" condition because bipolar is worse. And I understand that reasoning very much, but just because a disorder is milder doesn't mean it is simply to deal with. And you all always educate us so free of judgement, and I've had enough of being guilt-tripped for not being okay. Of course, I know your videos aren't diagnostic tools. Thank you for all you do
Your voice is so relaxing that it will make any burnout that the person might be suffering get reduced to atoms
Thank you for this video. I'm dealing with serious burnout. I have virtually all of these signs. I'm always tired, I constantly crave sweets, headaches have been daily, I have a light chest pain here and there, stomach aches, and I never feel like I get enough sleep. A doctor visit yesterday led to me being given a diagnosis of hypertension, so I'm working on getting my blood pressure down. I feel like my job has everything to do with it... but at the same time I have nowhere else to go. I feel lost, I feel stuck. :(
Yep, this checks out ALL of the stuff I'm going through. Being home for the worst of the past 3 years during the pandemic really gave me no mental rest with an explosive dad and unhealthy talks over dinner. Ironic for wanting proper healthy meals tbh.
I'm in a different country now and moving out to another place to stay soon, but the thought of it reduces me nearly into tears, which only worsened when my mom called me earlier. Why am I even alive?
Okay thank you for reading my mind again, seriously whenever I have a problem- yep here you are.
Anytime! 😊 Did you find the video helpful?
I am burned out and this explains it!
Last year I worked as an underwater photographer and every time after I get back from a dive I craved for really sweet drinks and after a few weeks of diving every other day I felt tired and unmotivated to do the work I was doing even though it was a dream job of mine.
This year I started working in a PR Agency and during the first month I was extremely motivated doing the work but after the honeymoon period I started craving sweet drinks and chocolates. I never really knew why this was happening knowing that I didn't have a sweet tooth growing up.
Thank you for the knowledge. I now understand why this is happening. :)
Is it the amount of work, the longevity of the work, the type of work, your environment or your colleague / social circle the thing that's stressing you about it?
@@FroschBube Probably the amount of work. It gets overwhelming then I start procrastinating then things pile up which then unmotivates me to do more.
I literally needed to watch this video. I have been working every day for about a month now with no days off because I was needed at work. I really love this channel as it helps me think about my overall mental health. Thank you very much for making all this helpful videos.
We're glad to hear that our video was timely for you and that our channel has been beneficial to your mental health. It's important to prioritize self-care, especially when you've been working consistently without any days off. Remember to take breaks and give yourself time to recharge.

I used to watch you when i was younger, like 12 to 13 years old when i was wistful to get a boyfriend and would watch all the videos about how to know if we are in love and things. As I got older I stopped watching those sorts of videos. But this was so perfectly placed. I mean I know im burntout. I dont need to see all the signs. The constant physical and mental exetion and stress and also the demotivation to do anything is a pretty clear sign to me. I am going forward with everything though, im not letting burnout stop me but keeping on top of the physical and mental strain is hard. Youd think getting a break helps and a proper sleep since I dont get to do that on school days. But the truth is, no matter how much sleep I get im always tired and everyone can tell that im not 100%. Right now I have some exams coming up where I feel the need to push myself to get the best result I can and ive been compensating for that with sugar. Not plain sugar but really sweet tea. Also a lot of food instead of forgetting to eat. I mean I do forget sometimes but usually im snacking on something. Im glad to see that youre still here spreading information about these sorts of things. Mental health is really important.
I'm definitely experiencing burnout of some sort. I have been growing more and more tired, and I am CRAVING sweets beyond my own compression. It's gotta really unhealthy and I super nervous about it. The tension headaches happen as well. It's crazy scary.
I've had all of these except the high blood pressure in the last two years, starting during the pandemic. I went to the doctor about palpations and panic attacks, went through a battery of tests, and got told there was nothing wrong with me. They never even asked about stress or anything. For the palpations, I found taking magnesium and a B vitamin complex daily helped. I still get them from time to time, but not as severe. Lot of folks swear by low carb diets too. Of course the usual disclaimer that your mileage my vary, consult a doctor, etc. Really finding ways to manage the stress is key, and I haven't quite figured that out yet.
It took me half the video to recognize the characters...hahaha. Great choice!!! Also, excellent video. I am experiencing burnout now, and taking a much needed break. Thank you for these tips on how to handle it!
The reason for junk food is not just "not feeling to cook".
If I have cooked rice already,I would prefer making spicy noodles.
It might seem weird, but I purposely eat the food that I know will harm me😭
And I already have high stomach acid
Yes i've dealt with almost all these issues. Before the pandemic i had to be let out of school permanently, because of having fibromyalgia at a young age. But while i was happy i didnt have school to worry about, i realized over time when i worked on my own projects (i do art and animation) i experienced burnout without even knowing what it is. Burnout is terrible so im glad to see some information on how to deal with it in this channel! Thanks for making this video psych2go! ^w^
Another tip is to take as many breaks as you can, (where you eat healthy/do nothing) if eveything is too overwhelming.
there is a way to help find something to distress you figuring out something to relax and revitalize you is the best way to over come stress in your life
@@raven4k998 yeah. For me I've compiled a music playlist of calming music, and that usually gets me by. (Along with listening to my favourite songs playlist)
@@WolfArtizan if that works for destressing then enjoy cause not having a release like that is a bad thing
@@raven4k998 I agree ^^

I feel like I'm burned out every day of my life of existence. My health is decreasing getting worse until exhausted sleeping all day through the rest of the day-and-night and noon. And that nothing is getting better but tired everyday but i continue to go

I have been experiencing burn out for the past 5 years or so, and has gotten worse over the last 2 years. I really need to change my job to promote healthier habits, and start acting on these habits too. I’m so sick of not being motivated to complete tasks and feeling like I have so much work to do when in fact it’s just a few simple tasks. Even getting better sleep would be lovely.
Hopefully I’m not burnt out enough to start working on these things.
can tell that animators were watching CSM, good video as always
Haha yeah. Noticed that too.
seeing this in my recommended probably means i should take a nap, i’m so tired man. thank you for this ❤️ BUT OMG KOBENI MY BELOVED ❤️❤️ SHE’S SO CUTEE
I’m experiencing some of these now. Tysm for explaining what to do to help!!!!!
i have high bp from stress/anxiety and my gut is always swollen/bloated/i used to have ibs now im good. ive gotten my bp under control when i check it im eating clean and losing fat off my body not just water weight been talking for the last 6 months to a therapist about grief and whatnot which has been helpful in just chilling. ive burnt out so much that im just numb but am finally getting back to being my human self. suggest walking as much as you can, stop drinking soda eating processed foods/fast foods, eat clean, and just chill knowing you cant control everything.
Clicked faster than light because of the kobeni thumbnail❤
I just became a manager and I have been feeling burnout, I have been feeling most of these symptoms lately and this gives me new hope in refreshing myself❤
I do feel burnout from my work because my work is pretty physically required. I just wanna just stay home and rest at home and call in sick. I work on a shift schedule like 12hrs shifts on 2 days and 2 nights shifts.
Same. I work overnight and barely sleep, plus my kids and pets keep me busy too, I'm so tired and sleepy all the time, story of my life feeling burned out
@@CarolinaLopez-je6ze we got this, we can do it 💪🏻
@@JinxRin You're right, we can
Kobeni being illustrated thoughout this video, especially for this topic, is just a master move. Thanks for your hard work
I just love the recent Chainsaw Man art
Why is her voice so beautifully soothing?
Nice using Kobeni and other chainsaw characters, are you a anime fan?
Her voice is so calming
Lol, love how the artist used chainsaw man characters!!
Holy I saw this notification and clicked it on godspeed
I just like the vidéo because i saw Kobeni
Clicked for the Kobeni thumbnail, stayed for the calm voice and solid advice
I love all the chainsaw man references
Love it that I am running on 3 years of burn out and get this on my TL 😂
I work full time. Despite me in a burn out I have to keep goinf
I don't know if it's burnout or what! I feel like not doing anything! And m stressed cause m not doing anything! All symptoms matches perfectly with me! So is it burnout?
I have to ask, do you normally get compliments on how calming your voice is?
When I'm super stressed I get back aches. Maybe because when I'm burnout, I tend to disregard my posture and often sit like this 🦐
Yeah siting along is also feel like lazy but it's I think something else sometines it's burnout and we don't give attention and after it caused we dont know that what is happening am I right 😢
I had my therapy session this morning, amidst tears and expressions of fear that I was nearing a nervous breakdown. I had one in the 90’s and clearly recall the feelings leading up to it. I have a truly massive “ toolbox “ of self help tips/ techniques that I’ve created over the last decade but why I’m not using ANY of it lately is anyone’s guess!
That Kobeni tho
That's how I've been living while staying at my mom's house. I just don't feel like it's my place and so I feel like this 24/7
I really can't wait to just go away
Why do i see kobeni and aki from chainsaw man ?? Is it just me ??
there's power too
This is So Releatable. I Feel Like this is What I’m Going through because I’m Preparing for a Major Exam. Thanks for the wonderful advice
Not sure if this was from my prior comment. But this video was amazing thank you. If at all feasible or done before I think a video on helping young adults aged 18-24 range with those that are stuck living in toxic home environments with no feasible way out or so they see. Not in a suicidal sense but more of a mental sense of stunted growth into adult hood or oppression by people who entrap them. Example someone i know is a young adult (in aforementioned range) but she is basically trapped at home with her mentally abusive parents. She feels hopeless everyday in that she cant go anywhere for monetary reasons. Her mom forced home schooled her and withholds her GED from her as well as both parents forcing her to stay home while they do family activities with the younger brother. Make her do chores, etc. I have been trying to keep her afloat and giving her advice for possible avenues of education but monetary issue and her own willpower under this constant barrage is a hard fight.
Somewhat relevant too as COVID happening and the economic issues are seeing adults forced to live with parents longer than the "standard" timeline. This affecting secondary education, delaying careers and making young adults feel far behind peers in their age group due to not following "the norm".
2:41 …It’s worse for people with ADHD (unsure about Autism?), & other Executive Disfunctions.
Our brains literally do not process happy chemicals well…
Many develop a sweet tooth to make up for the happy chemicals we don’t usually process in an attempt to make up for how often we feel “bad” feelings.
Feelings, emotions, & thoughts just are.
Each of us need to meet our feelings kindly, mindfully, & objectively, otherwise it would make it hard to accept our own neurodiverse existence.
At first I thought I was just tired but after seeing the signs I realized that I actually had burned-out my life is a real mess the people I work with are a really pain in my ass and my work is overwhelming for me to do I am glad that I got myself a mental health doctor to talk about my problems and psy2go is the best you always know how to make me feel better talk about my problem make me feel so much better you guy are the best 😊😉❤️👍☺️
I have been crying lately from thinking about stuff that happened and will so all of your videos are really helping me out my brother is in therapy and my mom says she thinks I should to because I am so worried about what other people will think
great video and love the animation and character use
Sadly, I lived everything on that list in 2022, my heart was in a bad situation, and I can't sleep either I'm addicted to desserts, chocolates, etc had always a big headache, and more. Whenever I look at the past I am proud of myself because I lived all of this and am still able to move on.
