Burnout vs Depression: Which One Are You?

yes... I feel more alone when I am with people than when I am actually by myself

yup.. i feel ya there..

Hope you find the right people to surround yourself with :)

I love being alone. I wish I was living in a secluded island. At night looking in the starry night by the sea shore.. With the light coming from the moon and my crackling bonfire... I would love that.

I'm feel like I can relate to this a little too much...

Thank you for the kind words!

Thanks .

Well i never suffered from those before

But thx alot

@@samuraiboi2735 you're so damn lucky....hope it stays that way...believe me...the worst form of depression scars you for a long time....if not for a lifetime.....stay away from it. Please.

Actually been thinking about this for a couple of weeks...then when I look up the price I felt even worse, especially mentally seeing the cost adding up through multiple visits 😔

Que veo, habla hispana?

Totalmente.

@@leandroroman7053 Coincido

This was funnier than it should’ve been

But in a serious note, I empathize with u

Oh boy..this sounds like just as if i m describing myself......i always had problem with wording out how i felt.... so i couldn't really tell how i felt... there's just something...i just can't put my finger on it.... and u did that for me.....u told everything that i feel like..... thank u so much.....i hope we get better soon😣

Good job, you actually asked for help. Not alot of people are as brave as you. If you wanna someone listening to you. You can text me

Sis wtf, you just described me I- 🐎💨

I feel the same, and my family just misinterprets as being lazy and irresponsable and I'm very irritable around them because of that. I don't want to hate them but sometimes the grudge and the anger towards them feels unbearable.

I feel like im finding my true family here

it could be both, sadly. I hope that you get better ❤️

@@bilsdweeb yikes. Thank you!

Same, I have so much school work and it's because of my language arts teacher. If she didn't assign huge assignments, maybe I wouldn't be so depressed or burned out whichever one I am or even both Idk. She is also really boring so it's hard to follow along. My language arts teacher last year had fun activities and did mindfulness with the whole class. She would also explain things very well and come around to each individual table to ask if anyone had any questions. It was so easy to go up to her to ask questions. This year in language arts it's way harder.

@@dimplesfriend6937 ​Oof. Yea covid is making it worse. It's hard for me to do virtual learning because of not being in a classroom environment since I'm virtual. It's also hard for me because I have ADHD. I feel the same about dry eyes right now. My parents had a huge fight because my dad never really interacts with us and just sits at his desk all day while my mom is working hard and trying to get the house clean but my dad isn't doing anything. My mom then started yelling at me because I had a few missing language arts assignments and she knows it's hard for me especially because I also have autism and the type I have is Asperger's so I'm very smart but don't do well in social situations and my mom told me that it also makes it hard for me when having huge assignments or a lot of instructions at once. The social anxiety part of Asperger's is really annoying because I don't like asking my teachers questions or emailing them unless it's a teacher I'm close to which is usually only my science teachers and sometimes math teachers, and only once it's been a language arts teacher because she was so nice and looked out for students mental health by doing mindfulness every week and trying to not make us stressed by explaining things really well and having multiple days to complete things and coming around to each table to ask if anyone had any questions. There would also be fun activities. At the end of last year when we had to switch to virtual she encouraged us to do things like origami, puzzles, and more. They were actually assignments we had to complete so it wasn't optional. It made that class more fun. That was my language arts teacher last year. My language arts teacher this year is boring and either has not enough instructions or too many things to do on assignments.

@@dimplesfriend6937 Thanks! I'm doing a bit better now but I'm still overwhelmed.

This is so teue.

Honestly.

Truth

And yet I'm on this ride anyways ayy

Hey why do i feel the same as you-

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Glad the video was helpful! :)

Same!!! I had no idea. I just got a promotion a few months ago and I thought I was maybe getting Depressed again but nope- burnout.

I’m depressed since 12 years old and I have panick attack now, At the first Time I was dealing with depersonalization it was so strange 😫 now i try to go out with my boyfriend and ect… but i have 22 years old and I’m exausted of my mental health so whatever a burnout + a depression or i don’t know I’m tired. I’m from france so, sorry for my english

@@leacreativite845 sometimes I want to kill myself but sometimes I just want to sleep forever, I am always tired of being alive and of nobody understanding my mind

@@Josichaisdesso you are loved and people care about you even someone as random as me. try not to have those thoughts and remain here as you have a life to live. there’s help out there if you need it. don’t forget God loves you and he’s always here for you

*Nervous Laughter Intesifies* welp frick

hey thats me and thxs for giving me more depression exp's To- someone I know (family connection's including the mother and father side)

*suddendly starts screaming in pain*

Same .

well, as someone whos had depression for a long while and has been experiencing burnout and low energy over the past few weeks i can relate. so uh yep.

Agreed 100%

same

I know right

Yes, I agree. I left my job 2.5 years ago, because of burnout that started affect my personal life. Only after a year my partner started see a small changes, that reminded him of person I was before burnout. Even now, when there is similar tasks from my old job or some intense days, I feel whiplash from burnout.

This!! For me it has been 2 years now (with all the professional help available) and I'm still nowhere near functioning on an even ok lvl. And lightyears away from where I was before. My sense of self-esteem was also very connected to achieving things, so can't exactly say that that has remained intact when trying to navigate this either. Before I was able to (or so i thought) easily juggle many things at once, full schedule all days of the week and I was constantly pushing myself to reach my goals. Now I can hardly cook a meal. Also not being able to do most things in general or even do things I enjoy specifically without always having to suffer consequences afterwards (or having to quit in the middle or smth)... if that doesn't lead to depression at some point idk. Everything just leads down into the same black hole. Again and again. Yes, I'm very bitter and I absolutely hate it here. And me for doing this to myself.

Amen to all that. I was diagnosed with both also, on December 30th 2018. I’m still recovering. Big hug, we’ve got this!

they did not say it's easier to treat in general. they just said that in comparison, treating burnout is easier THAN depression.

I KNEW IT. sorry, i mean : i knew it, i was sure it had to lead to depression, i was personally depressed first but i had gotten so much better, i'm pretty sure it's a burnout that made me relapse. And holy shit, it was some hardcore relapse. I think it should be treated just as seriously, depression being so dangerous, if it can be the first step into it, then it can be just as dangerous. To me it fits in their 4d classification, idk and anyway it sounds really dumb to not focus on preventing depression before it happens x-x

This is a lovely message! Sending love to u

@@blueclift5582 and to you too ❤️

Stay strong my friend❣️❣️✨ Don't forget to be happy okay ☺️🐣

@@notayoutuber_ofc okay! Thanks a lot you too

Do you want to take notes for me in school 😅

@@jaybaez8634 I could help you in taking better notes or making use of tools that helped me :).

Thank you!

I'm 14 and have seen some shit in and out of the pandemic

Hey dude, do you want to talk about it?

@ The Virtuoso hi, you can talk to me if u want ☺️

@Angelina Lefevers wait how do you know?

@Angelina Lefevers how do you know you have depression?

@Angelina Lefevers diagnosed by who?

Good for you

Sorry to hear that I have depression anxiety and c-PTSD it might get better I'm in a cycle where when I'm not in a depressive state I'm burnout becuase I am happy to do work.

me too, my burnout started when i got in med school 3 years ago and i quit because of it, changed careers in uni and i still feel so tired

Yes everything you described is me as well. It’s awful

This sounds so much like me. My escapist dream is van life. Though I'm quite sure it's too romanticised in my mind... I hope you'll feel better soon. I have gotten professional help and it has helped me a lot with dealing with the negative feelings. Though it stays hard to find the energy I once had... Even when doing Fun stuff.

Honestly same. Except I'm in uni right now - I was "supposed" to graduate May 2021 - and the amount of time I have left keeps being extended because I keep doing poorly in my classes. I started therapy around when my grades and stuff started dropping a lot more, and it's definitely helped. I have to keep working on not feeling ashamed of myself, like I'm not doing enough to get/do better, etc. though. That was maybe tmi...sorry lol.

Me too... Hugs!

I might have just done that oops (but now I'm diagnosed with depression)

@@alizaaaa same your not alone 😔

I don't think i am depressed but I can't NOT be sad

to be honest, I hope when I do get to go to the doctor I'll be dignosed with depression. I don't know what's wrong with me and I would rather it be something known and slightly treatable then me just being crazy because then no one will believe me

i MIGHT have depression, but I keep telling myself that i don't, cuz it's impossible for a kid to be depressed, there's no reason for me to be depressed then two mins later barcode on my wrist and legs😁

Well said..it's part of us.

Yeah, I'll say. One day, I'm on cloud 9, the next, I'm so down in the dumps and not in the mood to do anything. It lasts for either a few weeks, or it doesn't pop up for weeks or even months at a time. At least, that's how it is for me.

@@Psych2go love the new art style. You guys never fail to surprise me

Exactly

mine startet when i was 5y/o (i am 17 y/o rn) and the depression still gets worse... there was no time i can remember when i was not so not for everybody i guess

💓

@Phil for President 2020 That’s not, strictly speaking, what despair refers to, but it was poetic and relatable, so I’ll give you a like anyways

Funny

The answer to that qestion is yes

I have both

@@bruinsfan902 Same here bro

Same story 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😩😩😩

@@hannahadhi940 thinks will look up! Keep a positive mindset and try not to look for the negatives first!

Same. Although I've been writing gratitudes for 3 years now and it helps starting my day on a positive note. Sometimes I write 10 things, but on days/weeks I struggle I find at least 1 thing to be grateful for even if it's coffee. I also use the same journal to write my struggles/rants and then step back. I pretend the struggle is happening to a friend and I give myself advice that I would to someone else. That has helped me quite a bit.

PS: I feel you on watching things "come tumbling down in front of you"... As I read it, my own emotions literally felt it. I get it

Maybe we should assume that as memory lost i guess :\

Hirap din kasi dito haha. Sana makaayos na ng proper appointment para sayo. Wish you well!

I have adhd and trust me it’s not that bad! I feel like people are really over exaggerating. (Not trying to be rude, but if you do have it don’t worry you’ll do great 💗)

I really wanna to meet this people 😂😂

People who need help

Me too, the depersonalization is a big one for me

Basically it feels like you cant do anything and your mental/emotional is detiriating its just Ahghghghgggggghhghgggggghghhhhhhhh its pain TwT

yes that’s exactly what I feel likeee and everyone tells me I’m just being lazy but I get so physically tired and unmotivated...

@@muichiroutokito9159 Plus **STRESSED**

Hey man i feel the same i hope you get the answer for this like.....i mean my default mode is sadness but even the smallest of things pushes me over the edge into apocalyptic mode...y'know what that means....plus the constant sadness doesn't go away even when I'm doing something I like. Moreover on an emotional understanding scale i kinda deteriorate as TIME passes by and that's that. I kinda feel numb onthe outside but in reality I'm like very emotional and i get irked too fadt and also get aggressive too fast and i can't like....even care about society and it's collapse anymore because i don't give a shit about it honestly....

I can relate so much. Mentally exhausting just because 1 assigments, like what the hell is wrong with me

@Chaden Walke Shhhh! Don't! Don't ruin the mystery. We still call them the Time Travelers.

@Kayyisa & Affan yes

How can you know that they're not struggling with their own problems?

@@teraspeXt right I see where you are coming from! you can’t help if they don’t tell you. communication is key. if they don’t want to talk anything out and push you away, then it becomes very hard to help them after you have tried but they keep pushing you away. we all struggle and we should all help each other out. from personal experience I have helped other friends when they are struggling but that help and support was never given back. If only one person is trying or only one cares, that’s when things get toxic and unhealthy in any kind of relationship. Thank you for your input! 💛

Amazing to see that you're journaling!

Time travel?? I am really confused.. how are some comments a week or even a month back, when this video was just uploaded.. 🤔

Seasonal depression: **laughing maniacally off in the distance**

Let's discussed that below :)

@@Psych2go mhm

I found playing beat saber, touch the beat and thrill of the fight in vr helps my mood and lifts me up from the bed. Going vegan, stopping caffeine, sugar and tabaco intake also helped a lot although it wasn't easy at first because of the addiction factor. I eat oatmeal when I get up, some non acidic fruits after some hours with some almonds, then a meal I do that has a a variety of beans, vegetables and herbs, that is done in a way that doesn't upset my stomach and is proteic also the base meal every day that does not change, the last meal I keep it light, full grain pasta or rice with avocado and black olives or something like that. Don't eat fruits with vegetables at the same time, try to use olive oil and avoid fried foods. Eating like this helps both the body and the mind. As I go to sleep sometimes I listen to a guided meditation called "the secret universal mind" on yt. Depression has a cause so figure it out and try to change it or forget it. Some pills also give depression so look into that if you are on medication. Sometimes life isn't fair and people aren't fair but staying true to yourself goes a long way for you and others. Doing these things will help you live better and longer and you can search for like-minded people if you want to, that you like and don't put you down. Stay well and take care.

I would explain it like that my clinical depression causes me to have much less energy, which leads to burning out easily. Currently I have less signs of a full depression, no sadness or negative thoughts, but I'm still slowed down and out of energy like trough a burn out.

You may get a depressive episode, like just after a traumatic event, but it depends on oneself's resilience to overcome over time. Depression can be developed or it can be endogenous (your brain lacks on chemicals to function 'normal'). A depressive episode, untreated or misunderstood can become chronic after a few years because your brain is suffering so much so often that your self recovery habilites cannot deal with all. It is always recommended to look for both psychiatric and psychological advise to deal with all the factors involved. I hope I have been able to explain myself a bit, English is not my mother language so I may not be using the best words for it.

Yeah. Happens a lot with untreated ADHD, as people with ADHD inherently struggle with both productivity and pacing/rest. Because the stressor affects every single aspect of their life and it can't be removed until they start treating that ADHD, they're basically permanently in burnout. Which is already indistinguishable from depression functionally, but can also cause proper depression that needs to be treated separately after the ADHD is made manageable.

I feel you ❤️that’s how it also can be for people who have busier or more complicated lives, to understand if it’s the circumstances or the depression. It can be both, playing off of each other, but it is never your fault. I’m sorry you have been through so much in a short time over this pandemic. It can be super confusing, but always ask those questions and maybe, find someone who understands and can listen to your feelings. Doesn’t have to be a therapist, but being able to vocally process those feelings might bring some clarity or comfort, at the least.

therapists are good at least the one I used to go to

Both lol

Burndepressout-

Burnpression? Deprout ?-

Buepress LMFAO 😭

@Pat's yea lol🤣🤣🤣

Burnout is a condition that should be treated as well. Burnout is not less harmful!!

Its called fucked.

I have had MD my whole life. Recently diagnosed with burnout/possibly adrenal fatigue and still have MD.

Yes its possible

Do you still have anxiety attack? Usually anxiety attack has trigger..or maybe any cause of events that may cause it. When i have anxiety attack i try to regulate my breathing. It helps till some point, where i lose control without able to have cognitive ability, its best to shut the door and take time to calm down. Or bury yourself under the blanket. Tell yourself you are okay, everything will be okay (even though it might not,it may help to make believe) and solve your situation one at a time Hope it helps. Keep strong. Its nth bad at all
