Living life can sometimes feel like riding a wild rollercoaster!
One moment you feel happy and motivated but in the very next moment, life suddenly feels messed up and everything seems pointless and not worth trying for.
In today's fast-paced world, where people find themselves juggling multiple responsibilities like maintaining relationships, job pressures and other duties, emotional well-being is often overlooked.
Often, we feel restless, thinking that maybe things will get better the next day but that doesn't always happen.
The things you once enjoyed doing start feeling like a burden. Social interactions, which used to energize you, now feel exhausting. Often, when you wake up, you already feel tired and emotionally numb.
If you also feel these things, don't ignore them because you are going through emotional exhaustion, which is more than just feeling tired as it is a state of chronic emotional drain that can harm your mental and physical health and may lead to serious issues.
Other symptoms:
* Confusion
* Loss of memory
* Anger and irritability
* Anxiety
* Depression
* Failure
* Lack of motivation
* Hopelessness
* Changes in appetite
* Digestive problems
* Headaches
* Weight loss or gain
How to treat emotional exhaustion?
It is true that when you are happy, the environment around you also feels positive and life feels better.
Making small changes in your daily habits can help manage your symptoms and prevent emotional burnout.
First of all, you can handle emotional exhaustion by noticing the things causing stress that you can reduce or get rid of.
When you feel stressed, your body thinks you are in danger and makes stress chemicals.
This makes you feel more emotionally tired. If you pay attention to little positive things happening around you, your brain feels safe and sends out fewer stress chemicals.
Beside this, eat well, exercise and get enough sleep. Practicing mindfulness, which means focus on the present moment, can help too.
But always remember that life doesn’t follow a straight path, it’s messy, uncertain and constantly changing. But in riding these ups and downs, we grow, we learn and we slowly find our own way through all the chaos.
