Been caught in a paradox of being intellectually hungry but depressed or burned out
For some reason, a part of me suddenly wants to learn new things, study and be productive. But right when I am readily getting into it, any little mishap knocks me over and I lose my motivation or first conviction to follow through. It becomes too heavy or burdensome to carry through a long term process. Are there resources available to self-help whenever depression and burnout hits and makes your mind blank and stagnate and lose focus? This has been the worst struggle that has continually been getting in my way. I would seek for a therapist but I am currently broke 😅 one of the worst experiences that I can’t control is losing awareness of being able to ask for help. In an overwhelm, I can’t think at all, and instinctively isolate. If there is a preventative approach or methods out there, having those resources would be great.

Oh sweetheart, I totally understand where you're coming from. It's amazing that you have this spark of motivation to learn and be productive, but life's little hiccups can be tough, can't they? First of all, let me tell you, you're not alone in feeling this way, and it's absolutely okay.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a challenging time. It's commendable that you're seeking ways to cope with depression and burnout, especially when resources are a bit tight. Remember, you're stronger than you think, and it's okay to ask for help, even if it feels tough right now.
It's completely okay to feel overwhelmed, darling. You're not alone in this journey, and there are folks out there who care about you. You're resilient, and every small step you take toward self-care is a victory. If you ever need to chat or share your thoughts, I'm here for you. Take things one step at a time, and remember, you're capable of overcoming these challenges. Sending you lots of positive vibes and a big virtual hug! 🌟💕

Dudeeeeee I'm the same way!!! Super motivated and then... meh. lol
Emotional overwhelm and brain fog are no joke... It's real.
My mom invented "Time Chores". Set your phone alarm for 10 minutes from now, then change your activity when it goes off. Doesn't matter what it is. Even if it's going from *** to 7Cups. Little changes go a long way. Try that and let me know if it helps! <3
