I don't have an offical diagnosis, but listening to you and relating to some of the things you experience, from the way you describe this type of "greif" makes me feel less alone. That means a ton, knowing that I'm not the only one makes me feel like I'm not an outcast. Thank you for being so genuine.
This may seem strange coming from a man of 52 years of age, but I can totally relate to you and your experience. I have seen my share of tough times, and also I was diagnosed with major depression. I am a survivor and you are too! I applaud you for being open and straight forward with your story. The road to recovery isn't easy, but it is achievable. You are a beautiful young lady, both inside and out. I send much Love and Positive Vibes from the Great State Of Texas, the Southern Portion of Texas. My hometown is Sebastian, Texas. Keep on keeping on Fleur. ❤U
This video had been on my “Watch Later” playlist for a while. I needed it more than ever. I never thought of labeling what I've felt as Grief. For almost half a year, all my mind could do was think about what I should've been doing by now, but on a much more obsessive level. Honestly, I don’t think I've been “in the moment” for the past 2 years. I’m constantly thinking about how that will soon be a memory that I will soon want to relive in the future. As a “caregiver” it is difficult to fall into the helping arms of friends and family. My body has also reminded me how I’ve only ever been kind to everyone but myself. I’ve been pouring out of an empty cup for a while. Learning to give myself grace is still a work in process. But I think more than anything, your video gave me so much hope that “Duality” can exist. I can't expect the day to come when I’ll wake up and feel normal again. But I have to learn to embrace the good days even though I’m still swimming amongst the constant reminders of the negativity. Thank you for being so honest and as open as you could.
🎢 the way you articulate your words really speaks to me, I love hearing you talk because I feel like someone is seeing me when I’m at my lowest points. I notice similarities in things you have talked about that I deal with and I just am starting my journey on diagnosing my chronic illness but it’s SO debilitating. I would be lying if I said I enjoy living at this point. I do everything I can and nothing works. Hearing your story makes me feel less alone and I have a little hope that there’s light at the end of the tunnel but it’s up to me to keep walking to find out.
Hmmm, I can relate. I had these episodes on/off for years but last month got officially diagnosed with lupus, and it affects me neurologically as well. Not implying anything just saying, I can relate feeling depressed about health and limitations. Thanks so much for sharing because it makes things less lonely somehow. Glad you’re getting better.
I relate so much to your struggles that it honestly makes me a bit emotional. I'm doing better than before but hearing from you and how you're doing makes me feel less alone and gives me some hope that it gets better, no matter what other people have told me ❤❤ You're an inspiration Fleur! 🥰
Life is a testing that will taking you between heaven or hell after this life so dont be late to realized something good that you must to do for you goodness in eternal life...i just remind you all that end of time is near prepared with do charity to your goodness in eternal life..
🎢 No matter what the future holds, you proved to yourself that you can be your own best friend by taking care of your mental health, setting boundaries when you need to, and letting yourself be vulnerable around the people you love. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us ✨ It brings hope in the chaos, but it also helps make peace with the chaos itself ! Dealing with sometimes low energy is something I still struggle with today, but thanks to that, I'm becoming more thoughtful and respectful of myself when it comes to how I want to spend my time. Life is precious, we are precious & we do the best we can. Lots of love, take care ❤ You are precious.
Overcoming a dark and scary time, which feels like you are never going to pass, is the most liberating and uplifting feeling. Glad you feel the same✨♥🎢
Lots of lovely smiles, glad to hear you are better :) Hopefully this means more guitar and singing! I've actually been doing some soft remixes of your singing just for myself recently to remind myself how to use music software haha
Thank you! I've personally not read any books on burn-out specifically. I read Ki by Hans Peter Roel (Dutch), Untamed by Glennon Doyle and listened to Ram Dass quite a lot, who I recommend :). They're not focused on burnout specifically but they left me feeling much more empowered and relaxed.
I'm so happy for you Fleur!! I've watched the whole thing with tears in my eyes. Listening to you feels like talking to a long dinstance friend 😊 keep taking care of yourself. Much love ❤
Thank you for sharing this update.Really pleased to hear that you're doing so well. You've come a long way and I know that you'll be a stronger person and should be rightly proud of where you're at.Oh,and I would add a rollercoaster if only I knew how to! X
That is so amazing to hear how much better your are doing now. I've been going through a burnout as well and it's nice to hear a story of someone who is able to deal with just everyday life stuff again. At the moment I only have energy to do like 1-2 hours of a focused task before all my energy is gone for the day. And I know that pushing to do multiple commitments will make me suffer for a few days to recover. But even then I have made progress and its so nice to hear that you have too :) - Kat 🎢
Hey Fleur! It's great to see you're feeling better, and it's also a relief for me to see that we have some of the same struggles, it really helps me feel less lonely and to recognize the importance of my own needs too Things will keep getting better I hope <3
🎢 Watching this has made me feel so many things..as someone no longer in her younger years, but remembers how they felt (not comparing, just saying that it can be challenging), I just want to say that I think you are an incredible person. Going through difficult times in your 20s, with such self-awareness as you have, along with the desire to find your happiness again, is a beautiful, sometimes complicated and exhausting thing. I want to give you a hug & just say how much I admire you, how you are handling yourself. I’m glad you have close family to lean on, who validate you when you need that support ❤ Never lose belief in yourself and your ability to get through anything…even if it means taking a break or giving yourself some grace. Much love to you from the States!
I'm so happy that you're feeling better, Fleur❤ I've been following you here for a long time and find the way you take care of yourself really inspiring! I've recently fallen into a burnout cycle and it's really hard to find my footing and fully feel like myself again, and like I'll eventually be able to go back to loving the things I used to. Your videos have really helped. Thank you for sharing your journey🎢🫶
🎢🎢🎢 it was like this for me too I took 3 months off any work (had to quit) and was just really really down and basically drowning in depression and money anxiety‘cause bills were still there… Don’t really know how but i managed to grab myself and bring to life again. And there are bad days and good days too. The most important thing is to have that support from as many people as possible. Even strangers from the internet:) Let’s all be happy and healthy ❤
Thank you Fleur 🥰 ik struggle met precies dezelfde dingen die je omschrijft in deze video en voel me zo gezien! Vaak heb ik het idee dat ik de enige ben op de hele wereldbol die me zo voelt en voel me ook vaak kapot. Dit is een goede herinnering dat ik niet de enige ben :) Hoping one day I’ll meet great people like you who get this struggle and I’ll feel connected again <3
