BURN OUT - Is this normal?

That feeling when you don't even know what you're feeling anymore.

Not sad. Not fine. Not angry.

Just floating. Numb. Overstimulated. Confused. Exhausted.

All at once. 

Has anyone felt like this?

What did you call it?

What helped you get through it?

I'd love to hear how you handled it.

@Favouredlily17 Its probably called burnout. We feed the body but our soul also needs its sustenance.

I would probably just pray to God for peace and a way out of this numbness. Would read scripture with the intend to understand and connect with God.

With regards to the physical aspect, my "comfort food" helps me relax along with a good walk alone.

You are experiencing a large whelm of emotions that are weighing you down. We are a large group here at Cups and I hope that you can find some solace  here. I am wondering, are you able to get good sleep? Sleep is so important when you are under any type of stress. I  am in your corner Lily!

Hi, I feel this too. It is so tiring and awful. What helped me get through it is to talk to people who won’t judge me about it and also since I draw or write poetry and overall just get my ideas and what I think about on a blank paper and canvas, I usually let out my feelings and what I am experiencing there to feel lighter.

It could be something thing deeper like an existential crisis.
