Burnt out.

Ever worked so hard and tried to pursue your dreams, setting goals, had so much on your bucket lists, but all of a sudden, you just feel unmotivated, heavy chains just preventing you from doing something you used to do and let that depression sink in. I used to be that person. Now I feel like a nobody. What I’m proud about myself before is my talent in art and my hardwork on things I want to achieve and prove to myself. Now I have no strength at all in the state that I’m in. Hoping for better days, or waiting for God to take me instead.

Hey there!

It sounds like you are going through a really hard time right now. How long have you been experiencing these feelings?

It sounds like you are a vibrant person with a lot of talent that you can show the world! I’m so sorry that you’ve had to put your gifts on hold because of these hard feelings you’re experiencing, but sometime we all do need a little break or a new challenge to accomplish or try. Our spirits are constantly changing and evolving. Do you think trying to find a new hobby or creating a new goal for yourself could spark some joy again?

If you’d like to talk about these feelings you’re experiencing, please feel free to send me a message and we can chat further!

I do hope things get better for you. Take care, and remember that you do matter and make a difference!

I felt like that a long time ago, then I had a breakdown, was found under my desk crying.. my options for you, sit back, relax, live a little, people matter more, friendships matter more. What's the point of money if you have nobody to.spend it on

It certainly sounds like what you're experiencing is very unpleasant. I have experienced major burn out before at my last job. I can understand how it affects every aspect of your life from your mental and emotional health. It can even affect your physical and spiritual health. The worst part, at least from my experience, is the moments when your mind goes completely blank as if you're experiencing some type of sensory overload. You start forgetting little things which can lead to even bigger things of great importance.

Recovery from a burn out can be challenging. I've found the best ways to start recovery is to learn to take better care of oneself and shift your priorities ones needs. I took small steps by taking at least 30 minutes each day to relax and shield myself from the outside world and just breath. Thinking of nothing by myself and nurturing whatever needs I may have. I took it a step further by increasing the time to an hour, and then two, and then three. I started researching more on breathing techniques and meditation. What works best for me is burning candles and writing.

There are many techniques that can be used and everyone responds differently. You have to figure out what is best for you and what can take your mind at ease. When you find it, the trick is to commit to it. Creating a self-care routine can be essentially to recovering from a burn out. The more you put yourself first, the more you'll see a change.

As IttyBittyPinecone stated, I'd be happy to speak to you 1 on 1 as well, if you'd like. Whenever you see me online, you may feel free to send me a personal request.

Just know that 7 Cups has many resources available to you and many listeners willing to offer support. You don't have to feel alone with this.

Burnouts can be very different, it takes a lot of strength to overcome them. I understand how it's like to feel stuck and unmotivated and If you need anyone to talk to about what you're going through, I'm open to listen 😊
