well i'd say it's possible after having a burnout for close to 2 years, my mental state is all kinds of messed up and i unironically started to get some mental disorders because of it. also had an effect on my body, mostly just feeling much weaker, sometimes i can't feel strength in my hand and i can't grip anything. as for feeling lazy, vallues for everything have just become very obscure for me as all i can think of is how death is more just a matter of when rather then if or when i get old. just about anything i do feels completely useless as it won't give me anything, i don't feel joy over it, no satisfaction.
i do have a friend to whom i talk about all of it, kinda more layed out. the whole situation is just too much to simply explain in a few minutes or just a few phrases. we end up having long conversations that go deeper than the average conversation anyone would ever have, which in some way is pleasant because i can truly put myself into it and explain everything a bit more detailed than i would to anyone else

For me all of these clicked with me more so when I am at work as well for me I can get a little bit of anxiety when I deal with people because I have PTSD from being bullied by other people. However my brain clicks survival mode on and off like a switch to where during the less crazy times it goes off and ik this because I start to be a bit of a goofball but at some point it goes back on and it just doesn't shut off when I get home. it happens so often to the point I don't even want to do chores. I also have PTSD from narcisstic abuse because my ex step mom treated me like a cleaning slave which I absolutely can't stand cleaning things because of her. there are other times where I forget what I was doing, I forget to brush my teeth and sometimes forget if I had a shower. About the only thing I haven't forgotten is if I ate today or drank water today

I am exhausted al the time and i do find myself being snappy at people for little things like not walking fast enough int he supermarket or people suddenly changing the path they walk making me stand there like a pole for too long, normally i just don't think twice or ask if i can move past them.
it has become so normal for me to feelthis way of stressed 24/7 and exhausted that i am finding myself unable to cry anymore even though sometimes i really want to for it helps with calming down.
life has been brutal on me for all my life but having to deal with it lone has made it so much harder.
Guess i really just want someone who is there for me and wants to do things together, a friend or a boyfriend would be so nice right about now.

Im beginning to think a lot of media is putting people into survival mode. Take video games for example; many expect lizard brain-impulse reactions and this is achieved through the manipulation of ones senses (sight, touch, and especially sound.
Now look at the way things are edited and how sound is designed. Theyre constructed to be as emotionally reactive as possible to the biggest audience of people. TV, Movies, Social Media, News Outlets they are all fing with our heads.
This is a world of Psychological Abuse. Emotional Abuse. I would love to start a class action lawsuit against the people controlling the flow of information.

I put it this way; your brain deep down knows that things you are doing are actually ruining your life, but you feel you have no choice but to keep doing those things, so your brain shuts down on them hoping you will move on to new things. For example I would eat healthy food, and then I could feel it sitting in my system like a lump, and I would have drink a pot of coffee and a bunch of candy to wake up for work, because IMO my brain would release the nutrients for me to go to my telemarketing job, so I needed the fake energy from the fake sugars to be able to get to work.

being there. still there. have gone to specialists. they have not helped at all. regardless of how many times I point out my desperation of not being able to do anything. being sluggish, forgetful. things that i did the day before seems like someone else did it. I read thingsd and I am not able to understand or hold any information. the brain is blocked and the acess to it is foggy at best. it is terrible as I am a hyperdyanmic person at work. but now I struggle to do a simple thing or to answer a single question. it gets worst with time. and I dont have a solution.

Ive been feeling this way for ages I cant focus in school- I want to have clean dishes, I really do, but I cant seem to just get up and do them. My mother keeps calling me lazy, even sometimes resorting to the term worthless. I slept for 12 hours yesterday, without waking up to do anything at all. I have no idea to resolve these issues, but at least knowing what the problem is will help, so thank you for making this video

Very similar to ADHD as I just seen in another comment. But as someone who's dealt/deals with both you can feel the difference, it's just a little hard to put into words for me. Now the million dollar question, how do we get out of survival mode? It's there a list for that too? Maybe an instruction manual with a step-by-step explanation? No?

I think this is happening to me. I'm having a hard time functioning but I keep downing myself and calling myself lazy. It took me 3 days to clean my apartment. I am so exhausted, everything is a chore, even doing things I like. A brain in survival mode makes so much sense to me now. Thanks for this video.

But my question is _why_. Like, that sounds exactly what I'm going through. Though it's been like that for like. A long time? Though in the last weeks it skyrocketed and I've felt extra tired, exhausted and frustrated. Something must've triggered that, right? I just don't see WHAT.

Years of survival mode after hitting my head. I don't even know how I function, but I do(work. I'm still surviving. my point is I threw away those dishes that where dirty since last year. my point is I dealt with those dishes. I'm not lazy I'm just exhausted and overwhelmed.

I think I need a definition for what it is to actually be lazy, not burnt out, depressed, surviving, pathologically avoidant etc.
I've starting doubting that it actually exists, that people don't do things they should without some underlying understandable reason.

After watching this, i think i've been living the past 22 years of my -if anyone can call that life- in this state. No wonder why i haven't gathered the strength to end myself already. Because i don't even have enough for that.

Every single point resonates with me, and every single day I feel like this. I hate it and I want to get out of it, I'm tired of falling behind in everything and not being the amazing person everyone says I used to be.

Anybody has any suggestions to get out of survival mode?
I don't even have a structure anymore so there's no fear of that. I just want to get some things done.

In regard to the 'tired' reference, is it possible to be just the opposite? Not insomnia, just not ever getting 'spent' or 'exhausted'.
