7 Signs of Emotional Burnout 

What are some methods you use for taking care of yourself? Comment below and let's share what's worked and what hasn't.

"Which one of these symptons have you been feeling?" *_Yes._*

I feel like everyone who clicked on this video already knows the answer

"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: ✌😗👁👄👁

1. You're chronically fatigued 2. You're not taking care of yourself 3. Your performance is declining 4. You're emotional volatile 5. You feel down most of the time 6. Your social life is going down hill 7. You feel hopeless

Am i the only one who always wait till night and everyone sleep so i can stay awake until like 4-5 am and do stuff peacefully without stressing?

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

"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’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.

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

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

“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; 😳👁👄👁👉🏻👈🏻

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 :)

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

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.

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)

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

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

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 ❤️

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

This literally describes me , it makes me cry.

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

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.

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.

“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

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.

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

"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.

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

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

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

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

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

I love listening to my life story be told by a RU-vid video

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 ❤

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

“Are there any changes in your eating patterns?” Me, living off of frozen french toast sticks😟

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

My eyes began to feel so heavy as if I was tired when I really wasn’t and the only thought that would come to my head was doing something I’d regret or just sleeping it off. I’ve always had problems but I feel like I’m not needed anymore, as if my friends don’t need me to make them feel better or tell them to eat anymore😕

I feel like this since I can remember. I'm 29 now and I'm still fighting against everything. I am an HSP, I have ADHD, depressions, BPD and have been traumatized. This year I started therapy but I don't know if I will ever be able to get out of this. Most time of my life it's a living hell to feel all those bad feelings and can't do anything against my negative thoughts and having flashbacks... I'm doing my best to not give up and to think positive and I try to have hope but it's often very hard and being alone the most time doesn't makes it easier. I wish there would be any friend by my side to help me get through all of this but no one wants to see me being sick for such a long time, so there is no friend left and I feel extremely lonely. It's very hard when you even had to fight for over your half life to make anybody (even my family) believe that you are not normal and you're not okay and that I'm not just trying to talk myself into all of this... I really do my best to not give up, but I don't know how long I can take everything anymore and I don't know if I will ever feel any better and not that worthless and empty...

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

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!

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

This is one of my favorite RU-vidrs. 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 ;)

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

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

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

I feel the worst about me having an emotional burnout right now is people not being able to take it seriously. Saying things like "you should just try to think positive" or "focus more on your goals and work on your career". F that, like you can do that in this mental state. I just need a rest from society guys 😪

I’m emotionally burnt out because if a toxic friend...She drained me of all my energy because she would always want to talk and when I didn’t want to talk she would act depressed and I would stress that she would be mad at me. I am always fatigued and nothing has helped me feel energetic, not eating, not sleeping, not just relaxing in general. And she acts like nothing happened to me. She drained me so bad, she forced me to isolate from my family, forced me to isolate from my other friends and if I would go back to my family or other friends she would act depressed to get me back to her. She used me for her own personal gain and forced me to this masuline image she could look up to. I never wanted to be this manly image for her. Deep down I knew I was feminine and soft. Anything remotely feminine she would call “basic“ or “bratty“. I love being a girl and I love the color pink, doing my hair, doing my nails and fashion and she just didn’t understand that and would force me to be something I was not just to fit her standard of a friend. And she had the audcity to say she “tried to unfriend me but I emotionally malnipulated her into staying“ when it was the other way around and she had done that to me. She played victim and emotionally drained me of everything. So I had enough. I cut her off for spending lies about me and trying to malnipulate my other friends againist me, which she fail terribily at. Now I know what is wrong with me and I am using the help of my friends and family to help me get better. I only cut her off a couple days ago but I’ve never felt so free. I feel like my wings grew back after them being cut off so many times. I feel like me. I am finally me. I am finally free.

Last Christmas, my mom took her time to degrade me into a little tiny rat not worth of her love in the dinner table in front of my whole family and told me that if I cried, she'll hate me. I loved her before all of this and did everything I could for her sake. Of course I'm emotionally burnt out, I'm sick of the shit she pulls everyday yet everyone fucking tolerates her. No wonder I want to die so badly

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

I appreciate everybody in this community so much

Parents: “Phones...” >:(

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.

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

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

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

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.

I'm a mixture of most things. I'm a bit depressed, very emotionally numb and a little emotionally burned out.
