I got burn out at the same time as losing my best friend to cancer; my Dad having cancer; my personal and professional life being turned upside down by some very jealous people; so after a messy break up, I withdrew totally from society. Almost 20 years later, my parents and most trustworthy friends have died, there is no one left I trust. Ive been consulting a psychiatrist for 20 years. Entering old age, I'm entirely on my own, addicted to sleeping pills, in pain in certain areas of my body, dont want to go out. In the recent heatwave, I couldn't sleep for 48 hours despite the pills so decided to sleep during the daytime and get things done at night. Just as I was going to bed, I took some sleeping tablets, spilling a glass of water on the bed, tried to dry it with the hairdryer then fell asleep. Next thing, the door was bring battered down by firemen, police, ambulance men. I was dying from carbon monoxide poisoning. After seven hours of oxygen they brought me home. The carbon monoxide had come from a very expensive mattress made from natural latex which was totally consumed, pillows sheets and all. In some ways, it might have been better for me just to drift off and not know anything about it. On the other hand, having been through some very difficult and dangerous experiences throughout my life, my belief in God and prayers to Our Lady and to my guardian angel have always protected me but now I don't see any point to my life, being alone with just my beloved cat, Im terrified of the future not being in the best of health already. So what's the point? Nobody would care if I died and Id be free from pain. The only respite I get is from sleep, when it finally comes. Any suggestions? Thanks.

All this time I thought I was just lazy and just being my introverted self. It started two years ago when I started to disconnect with almost all of my friends. Even broke up with my then bf and felt nothing after but numbness. Felt like I didn't even know myself too at the time. I just can't find myself doing the things I used to love. Like things doesn't even matter anymore. I felt so disconnected from everyone. I just don't have the energy to deal with them. I used to be an over achiever at school too but it slowly stopped until I just don't care anymore as long as I pass.
And I'm always irritated when someone starts talking to me about anything especially if it's family. I thought it was just the teenager phase people are talking about but it started when I'm 19 almost 20 so I guess that's not it.
As someone who grew up in a poor family and in a third-world country, seeking mental health therapy here is only for the rich. I've never known any friend or anyone who has ever talked to a professional about mental health problems. And I didn't really know how to share my problems to anyone since no one else was willing to listen AND understand. I'm NOT good at conversations (AT ALL) so it's really hard for me to speak my thoughts. I could say some of it but I'll be leaving most important details and then remember it later after the topic has passed where people would less likely be interested to listen anymore. I could type and chat it with people but they're not interested to read any of it though.

This vid related to me so much. when I told my mum about it she just said she thought I needed a break, I felt like she was oversimplifying and dismissing that this might be a problem. i dont think she realizes how much I am struggling and bc I am a perfectionist I push and push just t get the tiniest bit of work done and it is so exhausting and defeats me, which, like the vid said, is making me withdraw from my friends, which makes me feel like I am not valued with my friends even though its not their fault, and so on. there are way more issues with burnout than what you first see.
Also, can someone help me know what to do now? I understand now that I am burnt out but have no clue what to do, as any work I feel like I need to do to help myself I cant do because I feel so exhausted both mentally and physically. I just want to collapse.

Ive experienced all of these symptoms before, and I didnt realize it, I enlisted in the Marines to sort of reset my brain from scratch, it was honestly the best decision, I was pushed beyond limits of fatigue, sleep deprivation, exhaustion, but it was all worth it, Im in a much better place mentally right now, the primary factor is just forgetting that the internet even exists, all my problems were inside the computer, once that was gone, I was free, so just disconnect for a while, and go out, run in the wild, be free, it does not have to be the military, it can be your park down the road, but disconnect, forget about it, and just run
As my Chief Drill Instructor said: Run to the Crucible! During our PFT 3 mile run.

for my fellow ppl who actually feel like our parents never understand us, hear me out, well, i just realized after hundreds of arguments with them, our parents also have their own problems in life in which we couldn't understand ( just like the same way they don't understand us.
I still can't understand them, they had a lot of experiences, past traumas in which i don't know. They also experienced heart breaks, heart aches, rejection, judgement and many different things.
Well, let's just understand one another. We are all facing hardships.
It's just my thoughts. No need to agree with me. Just so you know. Hehe luv lots
And I'm still figuring out my life, weewss

Here lately I have not been wanting to so much as even look at a person or talk to them. I want to shut my phone off and hide it away from myself. I am a person who used to try and be Mrs fix it and just can't anymore. I realize now it will only make things worse for me. isn't that odd? Anyway, I feel like cuttinf myself off from literally everyone I know and even now I know that's not healthy or the right thing to do, but personally I am exhausted from being this people pleaser thing. I am just numbed out completely to even care for my own feelings anymore. Like I lie to myself and say I'd be better off alone but it's the only voice I hear mostly.

This year, was hard on me. and if I'm being honest, all the pain start at april, something happened in that month, and it was the first slap. Then everything start to collapse, . till the end of 2022 I was trying to be strong but then. I start to literally fight to do anything. at the middle of july, I start to feel nothing, careless, maybe I'm still doing things, but I'm totally not feel anything. Almost for more than one year, I suffered from anxiety, I was always terrified, crying, surrounded by my thoughts. till I am now not feeling anything. And the worst part, I look like I always looks, nobody notes.

I'm experiencing burnout in this moment. I feel really upset about a lot of negative changes in my career because I chose to give up a shitty work to concentrate myself on master's degree and I discovered that I am no longer able to get what I wanted because laws are changed and all of these efforts done until now are useless unless I choose to lose another two years to get this. I am too old and I need to work, so it's really frustrating thinking about how much time I've lost to achieve something that bring me to nowhere.
Try to change path. Again.

One of the hard thing to get over. If our partner is undergoing such phase? Even though we don't know if being there will help them get over this phase? Just be there and support them. To be honest, I' am still feeling burnout, but given the situation? I don't have the luxury to stop
For people who undergo this phase? Please know that you matter to us and everything will fall in the right place from time to time. I hope that you guys are doing well and never ever make yourself feel that all of your efforts were wasted.

Other than my mom, no one else helps me with anything for example the multitude of chores I have to do everyday
I'm just so tired everyday and I get called lazy by people who do absolutely nothing to help anyone
School isn't a problem but it's when I'm reading anything while under pressure (like when I'm told to as opposed to doing it of my own will)

Man I wish I could have the old me back. Now Im just constantly pushing my burnout aside so that I can take care of my younger brother who does no favors to help me or himself. Maybe my parents shaped him up that way considering they barely take care of him. Now I have been forced to go to college and Im scared to end up a failure because I wasnt up to standard.

I think most of the people watching this video are looking for excuses for their lazy behavior. You can choose to get up and do something, you just choose not to. This comes from someone who really struggles with this. Just own it and fix it.

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

Dealing with burnout is like being in a boxing ring with life, and life constantly do a TKO on you. So you find yourself giving up on life, because life is too hard. You get tired of climbing a mountain and never reaching the top.

What if you feel so fatigued and stressed, but still continue to work coz youre afraid of the consequences of not performing or not having to keep up with everyone? Are you still considered burnt out?
