This video means a lot to me. Today I decided to drop out of school ( with a solid backup plan of course and I actually know what I exactly want to do later) to take a break and then continue with studies. I am not the smartest and most gifted student but I always give my best. My marks are fairly good and I really excellent at pretending like I am ok. But I am not. I have to write at least three test per week while preparing for presentation and other assignments. I am completely burnout, but I feel like I’m ungrateful and just too fragile. See my father grow up with war in vietnam and my mother in poverty and both of them work really hard. I have a toxic relationship with them and they’re also really asian-tiger parents like. All that guilt for being a privileged daughter and someone who has the opportunity to go to school, but decided to drop out makes me really anxious and emotional numb at the same time. I AM FINE . I AM OK LIKE EVERYONE. It’s so lonely here i at home and in school. So now the school keep trying to change my mind about dropping out. I know they just meant well. But something inside of me feels so broken and shallow and I have a whole meltdown. School gives you the stress and then demand you to keep going. Why ? I feel really conflicted. I also have avoidant personality disorder, because of the emotional neglect and trauma I experience at home. This disorder makes it hard for me to go to school because of the constant fear of being not good enough and the fear of humiliation. Just because I drop out doesn’t mean I gonna sit lazy at home doing nothing. I have the burnout because I am always busy doing things for school and family. As an child of immigrant parents I feel like I am a failure. I am sorry I am sounding like I am a spoiled and privileged girl but really I’m trying hard not to fall apart. Thanks if you read this text even if you don’t answer or anything still thank you and I hope you have a good and peaceful life
You're not spoiled, please don't call yourself like this. If you want to take a break from studies that's completely fine. Meanwhile you can find a simple job (it can even be part-time to let you rest) and support yourself financially. I wish you all the best 😊 . I can understand you.
Baby, it’s okey that you dropped out. You’ve been carrying this burden since so long i cant imagine how tired you must feel. And just cause your parents lived a different reality doesnt mean you dont have the right to feel tired, stressed, sad or any of that for your “simplier life” you are a different individual carrying so much troubles that dont belong to you plus school is really hard, adding the world situation. You are definitely not spoiled. Now take the time to rest, heal yourself, give yourself so much love, do thing that make you happy, go out, have fun. Then when you are on a better place youll be able to know what you want to do next. Take it easy on you babe, you are doing great and youll be okey. Sending you love 💕
It’s ok, it really is, your not a failure! You’re doing great! Really, you will find your way, even if it’s different from others way! Have a lovely day love u x
My parents aren’t like that at all but I still 100% understand the feeling you have. I’m really privileged in life, my dad’s a doctor so we never have money troubles. We’re not rich, but we’re comfortable, so I feel awful that I struggle so much to enjoy life. My problems are nothing compared to those who have so much less than me.
"Somewhere, there's a past u, overflowing w/ pride, looking at how far u've come", "A great future dosen't require a great past", "How ur life feels is so much more imp than how it looks", "Be brave enough to be bad at something" . Rebecca......my ears r BLESSED thank u ❤
“somewhere, there is a past you, overflowing with pride, looking at how far you’ve come” this made me cry actually haha🥲 thank you rebecca, i hope you know how important your videos are. p.s. i love your new editing style💞
This legit made me cry, once I read " self care means giving yourself time to pause " I did. Your so caring. I didn't know that I was putting pressure on myself till now 💜 thank you
Feeling you.. i’ve lost two months due to health problems and an exam, and I struggle to return in my ordinary routine, I feel like everything is pointless and that I’m not valuable.. trying see things differently now and you help💙
You're definitely valuable. You're full of potential. Even though it seems like you do nothing. It's okay to recharge and rest. Don't be too harsh on yourself 😊 .
I recently discovered this channel and I want to tell you that you have already changed my mind. I became more productive. You give me motivation. Thank you for this and good luck to you and your channel. love you❤❤
Hey, Rebecca! This video came for me at a perfect time. Sometimes I truly forget my limits and think that I can do everything.. But then reality smacks me in the face and I don't get enough rest. I think prioritizing and giving yourself space is the key 😊
This was like such a therepeutic video .. I guess i was kinda feeling burnt out as i was forcing myself to get 5 to 6 hrs of sleep since the past 2 weeks as i needed to study more for my finals .. But it's been so counterproductive and exhausting .. Gonna change it to solid 7 hrs of sleep from today . A good day to anyone reading this❤️
Everything you post feels like my current situations in those 20 to 25mins, it really feels exhausted to be with people who keep using me, but after watching your videos i have pretty much developed myself thnx Bestie
i love her content because it inspires me to be a better version of myself without making me feel like who i am right now is bad or not enough. that's so rare to find honestly in motivational lifestyle creators
Recently, I've been going through burnout, and I couldn't truly understand what was wrong with me, and why I felt the way I felt... but after watching your video, I found hope again. I now understand what I have to do. Thank you. You are a role model to me.
This video, was such a lovely reminder, I swear I am so grateful to find your chanel you are so inspiring.., I am so happy I am here to day to be able to watch your videos keep going, and your editing is amazing, thank youuu 💜
Rebecca, when I watch your videos I truly feel like everythings going to work out just fine. Besides the fact that your voice sounds so comforting, your energy in every video I've watched is so calming. I feel like you treat us listeners like we're your friends and that's what makes me (and so many others) love you so much, thank you and take care
I just discovered you. While I am much older, have had a lot of life experiences and trauma, seeing something about you in your college years makes me feel like everything will be okay if I am realizing what you have at your age now at mine. Thank you for letting this girl understand life will be okay - even in my darkest days.
Throwback i felt so lazy that I WANTED to burn out to feel productive 🙃 And i experienced it. Its all about balance and how much YOU are able to take 💖
I’m sorry to hear you went through a hard time last year but I’m so glad your feeling better recently, thank you for always being here to help and inspire us all, we love you
i just love your content so much never change and keep doing what you are doing, you highly motivate me to be better and you make me feel good enough 💖💖💖💖
I've been struggling with whether or not to take a gap next semester and just work because I've had such big motivation issues and burnout this year. Watching this video reminded me I can take it slow and taking less classes will definitely help. I'm still undecided, but I've got some ideas on the direction I want to take now :)
Your previous video really motivated me to start working and doing my deadlines and stuff, I really worked hard last week and set up non-realistic goals and yesterday I felt like i don’t want to do this anymore and just laying in bed all the time and then you’re posting this😻 Love you 💗
I finally got around to watching this video and let me tell you, I feel so incredibly seen and loved. This was my first time watching your channel and in one video I’ve started the process of forgiving myself for being burnt out. I really appreciate you making this video and showing a more humane path to a balanced life. I genuinely thank you.
You always post according to what I feel oof. Anyways I'm really grateful for your videos you're literally helping so many people rn and you're such a beautiful person inside and out. ♥
I’m pretty late to this video but I’m in my last year of training as a therapist and this whole video explores such valid and important points to do with lifestyle and mental health. Important things that you can’t find or read in books. But I’ve learnt so much from this and will definitely be applying this to my life. I hope you don’t mind but I’m going to take some of this advice/ recommendations into my practice to help my clients. Thank you 🙏 your wisdom is so powerful!
Hey...ehmm... I'm new and this is the first video I watched and I just love it bcs it gives me really much motivation now for idk living my life and knowing that I don't have to do everything perfect. You showed me so much things I forgot about and the first one is that I forgot my limits so I really thank you that you made this
This video was so helpful. I’m 18 years old and I recently graduated cosmology and ever since then I’ve been doing hair and also working at a fast food as a second job and I’m always burnt out to the point I do t have time for myself and noticing that I’m having a lot of mental breakdowns because I feel like I’m not able to do things that I want to do so this video was very much needed. Thank you for helping me realize I still have to put me first and organize my life and that it is ok to rest. I literally was crying before this video and you helped me get through my dark cloud❤️Thank you so much new subscriber!!!
man I just knew i needed this by seeing it on my recommended. I have been stressing for the past 2 months probably. My fam would tell me to stop doing so much stuff and do shit I enjoy.. which was what I was doing and being in theatre but everyday rehearsal was just AHHH and I haven't done electives since freshman year cause my schedule was f'd up so its all new to me again and I've always stayed up till like 3 am everyday doing work but even with that, I still just gts and don't finish. I wouldn't do chores, nor shower at night and only do it in the mornings, and cause of this thing I have about being clean, ill end up sleeping on the floor or couch and not nice in my bed. I try to do stuff for myself and say if I cant do it its fine imma just gts but I have this thing about late work and failure and it makes me feel like shit when these teachers call out "you had a whole class period to do it so if u didn't finish, think ab what u were doing" like bitch my brain melts in everyclass and I simply cant anymoreeeee. and its not like I can say welp I'm done ion wanna do it.. cause I FR CANNTTTT. Like this academic validation or grade ego KILLS ME
I needed this. I burned myself out by taking 3 courses, a phlebotomy class, being a biology tutor, and working part time at a donut shop. I felt bad telling any of my bosses “no.” when they ask me to work extra days. I finally told my manager from my donut shop that I need a break. I also told my manager from my college that I want to do online tutoring sessions instead as it takes less time to get ready and drive 30 minutes back and forth. I now feel so much better and I’m ready to focus back on my education rather than working too much. Thank you so much!
I’ve been looking for something that makes me feel alive again until I found your vid, And finally after a long period of feeling lost I find my self a reason to continue again of what I’ve been started. Thank so much♥️
Last semester and this current semester have also been difficult for me. Last semester I had emergency major surgery and a family member passed. Then this semester, I found myself in a mentally and physically abusive relationship. Finally getting back on track and I'm loving your videos!! ❤❤
Thank you! For telling how you struggled with a concussion. As someone who has have two concussion in one year and suffering a lot of symptoms still. It means a lot to not feel alone! 💕
I was productive today, as far as I can observe. I saw this video and clicked on it, since I’m curious, I clicked the channel and I immediately knew that she will help me in my goals.
THANKS REBECCA FOR ALL THIS AMAZING VIDEOS...YOU DON"T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE LEARNING AND HEALING FROM YOUR VIDEO ...LOTS OF LOVE AND WISHES FROM INDIA ❤❤💛💛
I love this video so much. I can’t think of how many videos I’ve watched of morning and night routines, or days in my life videos that seemed so unrealistic or unauthentic. This is so so good. It means a lot to put authenticity on a platform that sometimes cares more about other things. Thanks for the video!! Helped my day
the beginning of this was so relatable. I get so excited and do all these things, but then I just have zero energy and motivation and want to take naps all day.
today i got 3 bad marks bcz when i was revisong i was burnt out n i thought i was lazy bcz i was crying n couldnt hold a word in my head so i gave up ,,, after this video i realized i must have breaks and not to push myself so hard thx rebeca❤
This video was simply exactly what I needed to hear and it was just so motivating but in a comforting way I can just tell that she care so much and truly wants to make a positive impact, and all the editing and vibe that was created was perfect💕💕
Rebecca , your videos always make me feel better, I subscribed to your channel when I saw your video on procrastination. I love how you don't say stuff like confidence and positivity all the time and instead ask us to embrace what we are feeling and be okay with being where we are in life, gurl I don't know you personally but I think therapy is working wonders for you :) I am so happy for you. Side note -- I don't procrastinate a lot now I mean i still do but it significantly reduced because of watching your video thank you :) KEEP SHINING !!!!!
I have been watching u for over a week now and u have changed my life for the best. i rly needed this cause i was finding a hard time managing time between school and giving myself time. thank u sm Rebecca 💗
I love your videos so much, they always leave me feeling happy and motivated. I also love how peaceful they are. Thank you for your effort and take care! We love you so much❤️
This got me really mentally back on track. Many videos make me feel like I need to be 100% functioning in order to be productive, whilst I just can’t right now. Keep posting your great videos! Thanks for sharing and showing that we can still be great with our issues ✨
Thank you so much for your videos. I found your channel a few months ago and you have helped me change my mindset a ton! I always feel like your videos come at exactly when I need them and they comfort me. Keep making videos because I bet you are helping a lot more people. Thanks again, I really appreciate and look up to you
Ahhhh Rebecca, as always I’m looking forward for another video that I know is going to be great ❤️❤️❤️ Thank u for the ongoing motivation to turn my life around 🥰🥰🥰
Seeing you happy makes me feel so good!!!!! I just love your content it makes me feel like I'm not alone, there are people who struggle and still keep moving.. you are THE BEST ✨ And yaa!! Lovedddd the editing❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the little quotes you put throughout the video! some of them stick with me and I enjoy watching the video bc of your editing so don't apologize about the length of the video!!:) also the title of the video 🥰 felt like a hug
I was just avoiding this vid since I received the notification coz my exams are tmrrw and all I promised myself is that I'll study the whole day and don't even open Socials but at the end of the this is the only video I need the amount I getted from this is amazing literature her content is the best
Hey, Rebecca did, thank you so much for this video and especially today. My board exams are knocking at the door and I am just trying so hard to complete the syllabus and also to revise, but today I just did nothing productive except doing 2 hrs of maths and watched some programming videos(as I suck in the computer). I literally don't know why I am feeling like just laying down and sleeping (which I did more than my to-do list timings) and also to draw, which is all I am doing for the rest of the day. I don,t know how to be positive about this day but I am just trying to be ok with it.
