I've been emotionally burnt out for more than 2 years now...I just wish I could throw my emotions into a trashcan and my brain into a washing machine. I don't know how to mentally relax, because everytime I try and I begin to feel better, I get better days and I'm in good mood one slip-up is enough to make me spiral back down aand then it takes me weeks to get back.

"2. You're not taking care of yourself" Me, watching this on the bathroom floor because i don't have enough motivation to take a shower: ✌😗👁👄👁

Fun Fact: You didn’t search for this Edit: thanks for the likes!

Anybody else up at 3am because all their worries are keeping them up?

Me: *Relates to all of the signs * Also me: I'm overreacting! :')

I’m a 24 year old male and I’ve been dealing with this for almost a year. But I’ve not asked for help because of my pride. Also people don’t really care and they don’t think it’s serious. Every time I’ve opened up to someone they always make me regret it.

What signs of emotional burnout do you have? Me: Yes.

"in severe cases, some people even stop showering, exercising, brushing their teeth, and dressing presentably altogether" *haha, im in danger*

This honestly scares me because all these signs are how I felt for years. I'm trying to get better though, baby steps, baby steps. It's the only thing I can do.

"And what do you plan to do next?" Idk man, cry myself to sleep i guess

I can literally get 10 hours of sleep and still be tired all day

Students: Under a lot of stress, having mental disorders Education system: *jUsT pUt sOme icE oN iT*

When they mentioned temper tantrums I knew something was wrong. This happens so often with me. Once I got one single question wrong and my grade was dropping in one of my best classes I would LOSE IT. I would throw stuff, slam things, etc. My mom had to hold me down once for me to stop. I want to talk to someone but my family says I’m fine and to stop worrying about it. I am in constant worry and stress it’s not easy to stop it and I’m starting to get snappy with others more than I usually do.

college burnout... and im having a mental breakdown rn i slept for 12 hours and still tired

Fatigue: ✔ Not taking care of myself: ✔ Declining performance: ✔ Emotionally volatile: ✔ Constantly feeling down: ✔ No social life: ✔ Feeling hopeless: ✔ Feeling all of this 24/7: ✔

'Your social life is going down' *Bold of you to assume I had one*

When you can't remember the last time you didn't feel like this Well that's not good.....

I can relate to pretty much all of these and I really have known something was off for a while. I just didn’t really know what it was. My mental state has been rolling down hill for around 4 or 3 years now. It really started with motivation. I just stopped having enough energy and little to no motivation to do anything even the things I loved. A little after my grades started falling I came from an all A’s student to barely scraping by. Then I stopped properly taking care of myself the main thing is eating. There where some days I would not eat and when my parents made dinner I would take it to my room set it down and about an hour later put the food in the fridge for someone else. I have also had problems with sleeping, self hygiene/care, My social life, being disorganized, and paranoia. I have really kinda given up on expressing my emotions as well. I do realize that it wasn’t the best decision but I don’t know what else to do. I feel like I have been backed into a corner with no where left to go. I have tried to get myself back on track but I can’t figure out how. At this point I am not even sure what has gone wrong. My life has just become a complete mess.

"Your mind is already crying for help" Well that hit hard

Me: I'm emotionally burned out My mom: Its cuz of that damn phone

"you start to feel unfulfilled by the things that used to give your life meaning. and you find it hard to find any sort of pleasure at all anymore because you fear that nothing you do will matter in the end." 😃

I am realizing now that I recently went through an emotional burnout... I'm getting better though, I recognized that I wasn't okay and I'm slowly getting my life back together :)

I have suffered from some of these effects Mostly because of the educational system

High school kids deal with this pretty heavily. But we’re expected to just get over it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve noticed that becoming “socially isolated” is a theme among mental illness. But for me, there haven’t been changes-I’ve always been isolated. I’ve never declined social invitations, because no one wants to hang out with me. I WOULD love to hang out with people but at this point I’d just be way too nervous to do so anyway. Oh well.

“In severe cases, some ppl may stop bathing, exercising, brushing teeth, or dressing presentably” Me, knowing once I didn’t bath for a week straight; 😳👁👄👁👉🏻👈🏻

What's going on?: ○ it's annoying or not interesting ● i'm in this video and i don't like it ○ i think it shouldn't be on youtube ○ it's spam

When you’re so emotionally burned out that you start to find it difficult to focus on the video 😓

Nice diagnosis. Now how do I fix it? That's the part they never tell you.

I feel like these videos continue to deepen my knowledge in some ways. I also go to therapy and have started to make a point to going more often, and so with those 2 tools, I'm starting to slowly come out of my emotional burnout. Rest is essential as well as self-compassion for any mistakes you make along the way ❤️

Burnout is becoming an epidemic. Our bodies were simply not designed to undergo the amount of stress and pressure that most people deal with on a day to day basis. Most people spend the majority of their lives in survival mode, not ever fully resting or getting their physical or emotional needs really met. It’s so important that we begin to take much better care of ourselves, and to learn to slow down and only include things in our lives that truly add value and hold true importance. It’s ok to step back sometimes or rest when you need to. Know how deeply you matter and that by taking care of yourself, you are able to offer your best self to the world and begin to enjoy life and not just endure it. I recently made a video on this topic. Be good to yourselves, beautiful souls! ♥️ Happy new year!

When you realize that you’re emotional burnt out, but you can’t do anything about it.

I've been emotionally burned out for a long time, I think over 5 years.

I have every single one of these signs. This video explains a lot. I was circling around a lot of this with my therapist, and will absolutely be mentioning this video in our session tomorrow. I am not sure what brought this on. It started before COVID and just became gradually worse and worse. To the point where I realized I needed some help. Really glad I got some and very happy to have seen this video to help make sense of how I've been feeling/thinking/behaving lately.

My therapist: "When is the last time you remember being happy?" Me:

The reasons why I subscribed to Psych2go: 1. They make nice videos about real life problems and things 2. Their videos are a medium length and are perfect to watch if you are bored 3. The videos are full of educational facts 4. They take their time to talk about each topic 5. They make me smile everyday!

Me: I'm emotionally burntout Mom/dad: maybe if you started doing that homework you wouldnt be like this Me: but i- okay..( I'm Ryan just depressad and so extremely exhausted that I can barely get out if bed but I won't tell you that)

Thanks. You just described me perfectly. I hit every one of these. I just can't believe how many people feel so unloved and worthless, like myself. Peace to all of you.

This literally describes me , it makes me cry.

Me: *is burnt out* Everyone around me: "deal with it yourself" KZfaq: "here ya go my friend please take care of yourself!"

This helped me a lot. I feel really sad and fatigued all the time now, and I can’t do anything the way I used to. This has been going on for almost a month, and I’ve never been able to tell what went wrong. It could be something deeper, but I’m just going to settle with emotional burn out, unless it doesn’t go away.

Watching these videos simply make me cry- Every single one helps me understand myself better- if only others did too.... I hope anyone who sees this is feeling better when the see their content ❤

"Your social life is going down' Introverts: *_I had one?_*

"Your social life is going downhill" Coronavirus: "Allow me to introduce myself"

I wasn’t taking care of my self; I realize that now after overcoming emotional burnout. Thanks for sharing amazing videos like this! 😊🙌

“Are there any concerning changes in your eating and sleeping patterns?” Me:.....shit.

Kid: is bullied School: well, sucks to be you lol Kid: fights back School: WAIT THAT'S ILLEGAL

I feel like these are the only “tests” i pass

This video made me cry. While consuming content about anxiety or depression i never felt that I fit, but I’d know I had something to deal. Seems I discovered.

THANK GOD I'll go to therapy in a few minutes, cause it seems like am as burned out as I thought I was. Thank you so much for this video, your soothing voice almost makes me feel better.

“a change in sleeping and eating schedule” Me: *sitting here at 4am after not moving and only eating half a meal a day* well darn

I've been burnt out for such a long time, soon there won't be anything left to burn

I've never related to one of your videos more than here. I've found this. This is what I have. 100%.

hey man i, thank u so much ! long time ago i figured out that i have some kind of mental health problem, i kept on searching which mental health concern symptoms i m showing. as kept on searching for over a year i found nothing, but this video cleared it for me.. yay! now i know what i have to work towards. thanks again

Kid: is stressed out and wants to die School nurse: here's a bandaid

Who else feel like difficult to breath, you feel your heart about to explode, you want to cry but you can't cry, everything is hurt but numb at the same time Edit: when I wrote those I was in difficult times,but eventually things getting better. Please don't give up. Your life will gets better, If you need to rest, please take rest. Put your self first, you can't pour tea from empty cup.

Since I found this channel my life has been getting better by a bit each day

I could listen to this lady's voice all day.

*When you've had these signs since you started high school* hmmm

when you've been "emotionally burntout" for the last 3 years and now it's just a normal conistent feeling.

Thank you Psych2go, feels like a friend I never thought I needed

This is one of my favorite KZfaqrs. The reason is that I want to become a Psychologist, but I'm not sure which one yet. I love some of your videos. Whichever videos I've watched has benefited/helped me ;)

"what do you think is the cause of it?" "what do you plan to do next?" I DON'T KNOW! It's 3:41 AM and you're stressing me out.

1: relatable 2: relatable 3: relatable 4: relatable 5: relatable 6: totally relatable 100% 7: totally relatable 100% If anyone else feels this way, don't worry u aren't alone

I can literally relate to all.... AND IM ONLY 13!

this is a good chanel to just listen to because the videos are helpful and you can learn stuff and the people who speak have a kind of soothing voice.

“You should emotionally take care of yourself” yeah yeah ok BUT HOW

Gotta love some advice I got: “What is wrong with you” “Don’t you fall apart” “Why can’t you control yourself” “It’s not a big deal” “You’re getting worked up” Love it.

Lack of motivation of what I am doing is a big one for me. At the same time, pondering about what I am doing makes me wonder if it is worthwhile in the future. Currently in post-secondary and feeling the weight on my shoulders. Being aware of it and figure out what you want to do with it is a step forward. Thanks for this

I appreciate everybody in this community so much

"You tend to push away your friends" I have no friends.

This makes me want to learn more and be a psychologist but people thinks its just learning about crazy people but I find it so interesting because its really learning about people mentally and what to do about it.

Im so happy this video got recommended to me, thank you.

I love listening to my life story be told by a KZfaq video

Parents: “Phones...” >:(

I could listen to the narrator’s soothing voice all day long.

When positive turns into Negative,now Im starting tở questioning myself my life and what am I capable of, This video is the answer that I’m looking for which I can relate 1000%

The videos like this that I watch almost always say that people like this isolate them self but I hang out around many people to distract me from all of the stuff in my head

"in severe cases, some people even stop showering, exercising, brushing their teeth, and dressing presentably altogether" me: well shit-

"Your social life is going downhill" Never had a social life to begin with😂😂

I subscribed! Your video's are really helpful. I learn more and more things that I never knew. And the drawings are beautiful/ adorable!

"People who feel emotionally exhausted may lack eating and sleeping right." No shit I'm too tired to eat.

Me, an Asian kid with high expectations and bagged eyes after failing and studying constantly with little amount of breaks: Wow! This sounds a lot like me!

“Fine the root of the problem.” Ha. Good luck with that, self

Thank you so much for this!! Now I know it is called "emotional burnout" that I am suffering with. I relate to every single signs of this. This is exactly what I have been dealing with and it is exhausting. I definitely feel hopeless. I don't even know how to get help because I can't talk to people, especially not about my feelings. I always shut down and keep it for myself which is not very healthy but what else am I supposed to do.

Whenever people ask me how I'm doing I just say I'm tired, because I always am. People have gotten upset at me for saying I'm tired so often. It kind of hurts. I guess fatigued is the right term.

that moment when you're parents just say "don't stress so much!!" like oh wowie i definitely have never tried that before thanks for kamikaze-ing those words of such high thought in to my pathetic, puny brain

I neglet my emotional health for years and now im paying the price . Im slowly healing (VERY SLOWLY) . Please everybody be selfaware of you emotional health and remember that its okey to feel emotions or have certain emotions en behalf of something, aceptance and allow yourself discharge those emotions in a responsable way its the key to the true emotional health.

Thank you. Even this channel existing has helped me a lot. :)

imagine this,you was living your life as a kid and even tho your life wasn't great you don't really care about it,it doesn't affect you in any way,you met a girl,get to know her,get attach to her but then you grow up and you realize that all the thing that doesn't affect you before starting to have negative impact on you,you start to stay up late at night,thinking about your life,crying alone at 3AM.you never thought that you would become like this but you still have something to strive for,you still have someone you can talk to,life still wasn't really good but it's still your life,you was trying your best to turn your life around,to be a better person but then one day out of nowhere that girl said that she doesn't want to be with you anymore,she doesn't even said why and the worst part is that you don't really have anyone else you would want to talk to.you suffer from a mental breakdown .. eventually after a while of strugging you get back up,you try to make things right,but everything you do just wasn't working,life just feel meaningless at that point.even though you aren't crazy yet,but you just can't seem to want to do anything anymore,you feel useless,you blame yourself for everything that happened,so now .. i want to ask you,what would you do if you were in that situation

Why did this notification come right as i was having an anxiety attack and this sounds exactly like wtf is happening to me

Fun fact: you’re gonna see at least one “you didn’t search for this” comment

Lol there are 2 typos in this video It is amazing to see how much this channel grew
