How has returning back to "normal life" post pandemic affected your burnout and ability to recover? Let me know in the comments.
Yes, Kati. I have post Covid trauma that’s layered itself on top of previous earlier traumas. Still sleep dysregulated and out of sorts.
Thank you for this video! I didn’t know I had burnout, I recognized a few signs on my own but when I realized I had all 11 it hit me hard! I now have hope and a way to address my burnout!! Thank you 🙏🏽😎
burnout has permanently, for the foreseeable future, disabled me. 16 hour days, 6 hour a day commute, deaths of my fiancé and other loved ones.
My brain and body stopped caring. I can sleep for a month.
Burnout gets worse as you get older (and you are not there yet!). As they say, old age is not for wimps.
You just have to get out there, and carry on. :)
@@peace-now I agree with this.
Staying off social media definitely helps overcome a burn out.
Agreed!!! xox
absolutely
100% Deleted IG and haven't looked back. Feels amazing.
@@EleanorRoseRyan I can't make myself do it.... I like to sometimes post things, but then I fall into scrolling trap.
How to stay off social media when you are a social media junkie
After 8 months of break from work, I am wondering why I still feel angry and exhausted just thinking of working as a teacher again... Maybe it's time to change my career to a job with a better work-life balance and clear work boundaries...
I think another way to handle burnout is learning to say no. Telling people "No. I can't," can really save your sanity in the long run. Not everything in life is urgent or HAS to be done right then and there.
Also, for those of you who are care givers to a loved one at home, one thing I learned from taking care of my mom, who was terminally ill (she passed in 2007), is that the little things are not going to change the prognoses of the health of the loved one. What I mean is that it doesn't matter if you did something-say wash the dishes-on a Wednesday afternoon vs. Tuesday night-that is NOT an indicator of quality of care that you were giving to that person. The same goes for anything else...like ordering in a pizza one night vs cooking at home when you're 1000% exhausted and don't have the brain space to cook. Being a caregiver is HARD, and you deserve breaks from it, in whatever way, shape, or form works for you and your loved one.
Well said.
Amen! Caregiver of my now 94 yr old dad. We've been to emergency 4 times this yr. Dr follow ups for all. Stitches/staples removal. 10 day stay in rehab for concussion for him to have 24/7 care. I clean, shop, cook, all Dr /hosp visits. Have a woman 2 hrs every 2 wks to take him on walks with walker and just keep him busy. I have a baby monitor always with me. I'm on call 24/7 & have had to go out at night to help him. He has his apartment attached to our hs. BUT. My sis, bless her heart, is coming today to take dad for a month! Yippy!!!!
K so how do I afford housing and groceries while saying no to work that is too much for me?
I can't imagine taking a few days off and somehow magically recovering from all this. You can't escape life itself. The horrible world and shit life you had are still going to be there.
I had clinical depression n that’s exactly how I used to think then. The thing we don’t realise is that life only feels that way bc we are sick.
Focus on healing - getting all the help u can.
Once u heal u’ll be able to see that life is not bearable but light and exciting.
I’ve been there too. If I could heal, u can too.
Drop that 10stones bag and you’ll enjoy the journey.
For all my fellow PDAers: It's okay to feel burnt out from the things marketed as being the cure for burnout. It's okay to be burnt out from socializing, or from the demand to care for your body and mind. You are not wrong, you are not a failure.
As a nurse that’s been practicing for 9 years, and all through the pandemic. I’m well past burnout and depression and into completely numb and in pure survival mode. Thankfully nothing worse than too much Amazon. But this pandemic has been horrid and really throwing the healthcare industry’s ruthless thirst for profits into sharp relief.
Thanks for being a nurse!
For sure. The nurses that are left are so exhausted. My son and I both work in healthcare. We were saying the other day we don’t know what’s going to happen to all the elderly people, because there just aren’t enough people left in healthcare to take care of them. Eventually colleges will have to let nurses go to school for free to recruit them. The nursing shortage in our city is insane.
Can you give a few examples of their thirst for profits?
i think people really need to speak out about the healthcare industry. i am on the other end of it, it is going to destroy alot of people
@@jayhulrs1435 they should make the schools free for nurses, the industry has alot of money for that, it will be easy
I have definitely been burned out, since I have been in my 20s and I am now 35 years old. It just keep getting worse, years and years and day by day. As I run a co-founded business, am a caregiver to my mom with chronic pain and migraines, and I have a lazy alcoholic younger brother. I know my mom is burnt-out out too, as we keep trying to figure out ways to create stable income, The burnout and stress and anxiety and worry and depression, over everything is pretty much overwhelming.
er... lock him out of the checkbook and other bank accounts? If you give more info then I'm sure me and others can help with that. How exactly is he accessing your money? Or if he's not accessing actual cash, then what is he taking?
I am so sorry you're going through all of that.. and I hope you are able to get a little time to yourself every now and then. If you're able, it can help to get a nurse to come take care of your mom for a bit while you do something for yourself :) xoxo
I can understand your problem even though I'm not in a similar situation. You really are strong. I wish you come out stronger out of this. Best wishes!
@@anupamsingh1056 thank you! I honestly just keep going, it's all I can do, and pray a lot for sanity and for strength. Thank you 💝
@@Katimorton thank you, Kati. I sometimes take days off and just lay in bed, or sleep for 24 hours, I even take time to have relaxing bathes and sometimes go for walks, and just found a park fairly close to by our place. So I can be alone in nature, and my mom and I have been talking about getting her a nurse. We just have to figure out how to get one through with Canada. My brother helps sometimes, but it isn’t enough, as I take on most of tbe physical work and my mom does the financial stuff. Thank you for your advice and your videos. They have help, me so much. I feel so seen through learning new things about my own mental health issues and physical issues, and now have more tools to try to be more compassionate with myself, like I am with everyone else in my life. 💝
Thirty minutes of walking is really helpful. Especially when there’s a huge sun ☀️ ball out radiating it’s warmth into your skin.
This is very important, not even an exercise walk, just getting outside and sitting is good I find.
Man its so damn cold and it gets dark early not long after i get off my 9-5 week job, if i was rich id move tf outta the US from nov-march cuz of how cold and dark early it gets preventing me from enjoying nature and just being outside
I have never found the 9 to 5 scene fulfilling. Jobs can be exciting at first, but, after a few years it becomes routine, the same thing year after year. I am always watching the clock for my next break, my end time, etc. All I ever hear about is metrics, how we need to do more, blah, blah, blah. It's a rut I get into every time.
I totally feel that.. I always ran into that when I worked in corporate jobs. If you're able, finding some time to do things you love or explore other job opportunities could help. xoxo
This video is the exact description of what I'm going through right now. If the phone rings or I get a message, my anxiety goes all the way up. It has been extremely hard for me to think, make decisions, study, work and deal with any type of problem, no matter how small. The dark thoughts are also constant, my mind just thinks this is the end, since I can't deal with life, it seems impossible to go on.
Same friend. I’ll keep a light on in the darkness for you. 🖤 We are not alone.
@@lunabear3060 that's really kind, thank you 🙏
I'm sorry you're having a tough time right now. I hope you'll find a way to get some rest and recover. I'm sure you've heard this, but turning off all notifications and only checking them, say, every hour could be helpful. It's rare that anything is so urgent it can't wait about an hour. Perhaps you only allow repeat calls, or only have notifications on for school / work related messages. Or maybe you have a study buddy who'll send you a message if there's something school / work related you need to know about ASAP. And don't be afraid to ask your supervisor / teachers for help if you need any!
@@polinanikulina Thank you, sure. I'm trying to get things under control and getting rid or dealing with the things that caused this burnout on life for me. Wish you all the best!
Oh man same here exactly everything that you have mentioned word for word
Yep. That's me. I'm completely burnt out.
All those symptoms are what having depression feels like. Everyday, for years.
번아웃왔을때 해결책
1. connection with others-> build resilience
2. prioritise basic needs -> hunger, tire etc
3. take real breaks, get away
4. Be kind to others around you.
5. Find joy in small things. Find positives
This just convinced me to take a social media break ❤ I’ve always struggled with fatigue issues, but they’ve gotten so bad these past few weeks and I have a strong feeling its because of the overwhelming stress I’ve been under for so long. I still plan on talking with my doctor, but in the mean time, im hopping off Facebook to give my brain a break 😊
Life interrupted. I had almost total burnout, saw a counselor, planned my retirement, dreamed of a life with some freedom. Retired, and 45 days later, Covid-19 Pandemic hit. One-and-one-half years later, can't seem to be able to leave the house unless I absolutely have to. Grey hair now, overweight now, and only my obligations to my 96-year-old mother and my doggie keep me going each and every day. I just want to know how to start living a life again.
Same here
Burnout is actually a medical condition and not just a mental one either. A lot of it has to do with an over taxed or maxed out nervous system, especially if this situation goes on for a long period of time. The fight or flight response has a huge part in causing the condition. Once again, especially if your body is in fight or flight mode for elongated periods. Fight or flight by design is supposed to be a temporary body and mind response and state, to temporary situations etc. The longer the body is in this state continously or even off and on but for a longtime, the more it becomes almost the go to response for the body and mind. Less and less and smaller things and situations will trigger the response, almost like building up tolerance in reverse. This causes the nervous system and various other systems, chemical and hormone release like cortisol, and other body and mind functions to be overworked, misaligned, under and over responsive, etc...hence the tem burnout. Unfortunately that term and this condition, until more recently, we're defined more as a mental state or mindset, or the like, or just another way a person is overtired, overworked, depressed, etc, or sometimes just completely in the head of the individual. Therefore something that can be changed easily by changing mood or mindset, getting more sleep, just being happy, just changing behaviors or other things like that. This is in no means true in the least, aside from those changes can be helpful,,but by no means fix the situation alone. Some studies and research are finding that burnout may be very akin to PTSD and definitely have much in common with anxiety, depression from anxiety. An occurance of burnout can possibly take up to 2 years to recover from and that is if the cause(s) stop, and/or new ones or other traumas etc don't happen.
Also burnout is not new, or directly related to covid or working at home....in my case it was actually work place and bad jobs that caused my several occurances. Studies and research shows that the majority of occupational related or work burnout are actually not even the fault of the sufferer, but caused by bad management or mis management, bad work environment, imbalance and disconnect between upper management or administration and employees, unorganized or badly organized departments or companies. Inappropriate up to impossible work flow or out put expectations etc etc. This a double hit usually for employees in the area of burnout, because usually they are held responsible for being at fault by the actual perpetrators and may even think themselves to be as well. Burnout often leads to or sometimes just is a nervous breakdown and may lead to or be co-experienced with many other serious health problems and conditions. Take it very seriously, seek medical help and counseling or life coaching etc as well for the mental/behavioral aspects. And most definitely educate yourself about the condition as much as possible.
Well said. Thank you. I’m suffering from this at the moment and I’m taking Care of myself but 1 year after getting fired from my job I’m still highly sensitive. It’s hard to live in this state but almost nothing is more important to me now than my mental health!
I went through burnout a few months ago. Putting out content constantly can do that... I know you know. Sometimes a break is muuuuuch needed. Love having something to look forward to. Thanks for all you do!
I have had most of the symptoms when i eventually developed the eleventh. Gladely my crash was hard enough to get me into a doctors office and not hard enough to act on it. I went to a clinic for a couple of month and now, years later would say i am at my happiest point in my live. So for everyone struggeling, there is hope.
Brilliant video, thanks Kati! Will defo be rewatching to remind me of these points ❤️
Perfect timing on this video! Thank you! I've been burned out for years and have only recently begun to acknowledge it. It's a long process for sure, but two things that have been helping are taking a walk during my lunch break every day, especially if I can walk on a bike trail or non-car path; and 2) taking a break, like a real break. I took my first real vacation in 3+ years and it was wonderful! It was a real wake-up call as to how much I've just been pushing and pushing. I'm still pushing through, but now I'm aware of it and working to make small, incremental changes.
Ooh this is such a worthwhile topic!! Glad you’re doing this!
Bought your book, 'Are you ok?', and I must say it has been an excellent read with a plethora of very good information. I have a psychiatrist, and therapist, and they have been stellar in my recovery. I can really relate to this video. Thank you, Kati Morton.
I appreciate that you give ideas to help with the problem at the end rather than leaving your viewers stressed with the checked off symptoms. You are great at your job!
Thanks so much for this video, Kati. I feel burnt out often in my daily life, but I'm trying to find more time for myself to focus.
I am so glad.. I know it's hard, but stick with it. xoxo
Thanks Kati! You have no idea how your video make me to go trough the difficulty in myself... I feel so engaged to those signs & I'll try your advices... Hope you can make more videos to go trough burnout feeling....
Kati you're the only copilot I need
I don't talk to people. All i do every day is watch RUclips all day and night and deprive myself of sleep...
I stopped writing, i barely play the video games i like as much, i stopped drawing and hardly do much of anything each day. I can't even talk to my family without trying to avoid the conversation or walking away since i run out of things i want to say, or cutting myself short. I just can't do anything anymore ever, i have no healthy routines, no exercise, no meditation, no mindfulness and i just sit around. At least I'm healthy. Just sleep deprived and have nothing going on in my life, I'm not learning or building towards anything. I've never wished i was dead, but i just wish i where a better person. And i can't talk to others without driving them away with my insecurities or assuming everything they do is to shame or make me feel useless and driving them away to protect myself. I suck.
Nothing i do brings me joy, even small things like my cat sleeping in my lap at this very moment. I know I'm gonna have to get up and wake my cat up and wake up late in the afternoon tomorrow from sleep deprivation. Nothing in my life is going to change, the only thing that changes are the videos i watch and the food i eat, and the shows i watch. I have no skills, no social life, no real hobbies besides games.
This is so great! It helped me put a finger on some relationship difficulties I've been having and had no idea why we were struggling. It fits perfectly. I'm content to be at home all the time but not my husband. He needs to get out and I think a bit more of that might be a nice break. All of this was super helpful. I'm grateful that I heard it at exactly the time I needed it. Thank you so much!
i just love you Katie Morton. I wish everyone on Earth could see this video. What a wonderful world it could be...
THANK YOU FOR THIS. I've been so overstimulated for the past months that this is the first youtube video (that is not a music clip) that I've watched in approximately 6 months. And it was just what I needed. Kisses from Seoul
Planning breaks definitely helps me. As soon as I have my next three day weekend planned, even a month plus away, I feel more relaxed and prepared to handle life.
Wow. All of these symptoms I had at the end of 2022/beginning of 2023. Ended up being diagnosed with major depressive disorder and complex PTSD. It has taken months of extensive therapy to get me back to work. I finally am feeling so much better. I didn’t think I was going to make it a few months ago. Please please please ask for help! It is possible to feel better! Understanding and raising the level of awareness of why our bodies and brains react/respond the way they do is key!
Connection with others is a big source of my burnout & depression, or rather the lack of connection with anyone. Struggling with that, especially at work. It is 40 hours a week of absolute misery. I am close to the age of being able to retire, and need the work income for as long as possible.
Great Content! working out is one of the things that can help in our mental health especially now a days many problems risen thank you for your videos this really helps me. I love your videos looking forward on your new uploads.
Great topic!😊
Your channel was recommended by a psychologist friend of mine. Thank you for your effort on making these videos, it really helps! Cheers!!
Thanks for the video
No problem!
Sign No 1. Scrolling through YT while sitting at your work desk, watching this video, when you have a mountain of anxious clients waiting for your call/email/advice.
Lots of love Kati x
I'm thankful for my therapist, but dang, I hit all 11 signs myself. We still have a long way to go, but I'm glad I both have support in person and videos like this for research.
Thank you for this :)
Of course! I hope it helps!! xoxo
Thank you, Kati!
Any time!
Wow! Thanks Katie. I needed this video to understand what's going on with me.
Glad it was helpful!
wow, I was actually just thinking of you yesterday and wondering where you've been/why I haven't seen you. You were the first and best therapist on youtube. Before you, there was a bunch of amateurs who initially started out good but then ran out of things to say, so inadvertently ended up saying ultimately harmful things. Glad to see you again and on such a timely topic cos yeah, I'm totally done with life.
Every single one apart from relationship issues. Why's that, you ask? Well, I isolate. Fixes nothing and shit keeps going downhill.
Thank you!
Excellent Video
Thank you, Kati! 😌💜
Any time!
Thank you for sharing Katie! ❤ The main reason for my depression and burnout is the Employment Office. But who has the power over my life? The Employment Office. 😩🤯
What a great video!!👏
I am so glad you liked it :) xoxo
Your shirt is fantastic ❤️ love to know where I can get one?
Also, great video, thank you. I've always struggled with trying to reduce how much/often I burn out. I have sever depression so as soon as I have a boost of motivation /happiness I jump into doing a lot of stuff to make up for "lost time". I've recognised this but struggle to get the balance between doing lots and not doing enough.
For the past 5+ years I have completely lost interest in everything, this caused me to drop out of school and I have basically wasted the past 3 years of my life doing nothing. The last job I had was 3 years ago and I couldn't even stay for hardly a few months, I'd come home and have no appetite and go straight to bed, just to repeat everything the next day. I don't have any hobbies anymore, not that I could find anything new because I can't even motivate myself to care, nor have money to pursue anything or the motivation to get another job to have money in the first place. I'm screwed, I wish I had noticed all this when I was younger, but instead waited until I was 23 to get help. But now I'm 26 and have nothing to show for it, I just wish I wouldn't have to wake up for another day of this, I'm a burden to my family, and I'm not even helping myself get better.
Thank you for your great advice. I was wondering if you have done a video in the past, or maybe have one planned for the future, talking about burnout and ADHD? I feel like dealing with ADHD makes me burn out faster and makes it harder to get out of that burnout.
Thank you for your honesty,I’m 54 years old and so appreciate you for the wonderful videos you make god bless you ❤ from Australia 🎉you are awesome,you made me safe thankful for you 😊
They say god does for us what we can’t or won’t do for ourselves, I truly believe that this popped up in my feed for a reason. Thank you
Thank you for this video😊 This is exactly how I’ve been feeling lately
Of course! So happy to help :) xoxo
@@Katimorton I also realized how my eating habits.. eating mostly processed foods and not taking all of my vitamins like vitamin D has contributed to me feeling like this so, I know what I need to do 😊
Hi, Kati! I love your videos. I'm here for you, too. You're inspiring and thoughtful in your videos, sharing the difficulties you face.
As a recovering people pleaser with C-PTSD and comorbid issues, including intense dissociative disorders, it takes me time each day to figure out WHAT I want to do.
When feeling burned out, which likely stems from compassion fatigue (empathic person living in the suburbs when I grew up in the woods... ewww), I prioritize sleep and water. Ahh, the nectar of life! My brain thanks me, and I get energy to do physical activity, which includes walking in the local parks with my love and our pups.
The burnout causes a wall to form in my mind. So, one of my favorite things to do to challenge myself is look inward instead of outward, as connection with others became a habit, which led me to trust untrustworthy people. By doing shadow work, I've learned I'm an introvert, but my mom forced me to be extroverted.
Learning what I need in life has been the best way for me to deal with burnout, as I don't feel guilty when I need that little extra sleep, a good read, sitting in the sun and watching the mason bees pollinate our yard, and more. Kitchen witchery has been an exciting journey, too, as I don't use recipes (my husband calls me a mad scientist in the kitchen). Tiny adventures, like quests I give myself, light up my life so I don't feel stuck doing the job I love. Writing dark psychological fantasies with therapy skills included, and editing for clients who want to evolve in their craft and life.
Burnout over a long period caused fibromyalgia, so I stretch multiple times a day, soak in Epsom salt baths with fantasy music and candlelight, and sing songs that express the pains in me so I can focus on the present again. It takes a lot of work to manage the symptoms. But as a naturally resilient person, I know the benefits will one day surpass the costs, even if the benefit is brain power.
Thank you so much for sharing, and I love all of the various ways you care for yourself!!! Give your pups an extra tummy rub for me :) xoxo
Another empath with fibromyalgia here. I live in a huge metro area due to my spouse, but I totally agree that we do much better in a simple, rural life with lots of contact with nature. I agree on the singing too...it helps, especially if I dance at the same time!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is a really interesting post with a lot of wise sensible advice in it. I believe I have complex PTSD as well as ADULT ADHD and other co morbidities. Burnout is a constant problem for me as I’m a writer who throws myself passionately into my work but keeps hitting a wall of exhaustion and having to just sleep. X
@@meagiesmuse2334 Thank you! Fibromyalgia sucks and is manageable.
I love singing in the shower, and when I need an extra oomph, I create really horrible yet funny dance moves while rinsing off.
There's a meditation I do when I'm overwhelmed, too, which I created one day when I started to black out and become a different part of myself. I imagine swimming upstream a raging river, then let my muscles relax and float downstream. As I fall down the waterfall, I imagine my shoulder blades relaxing, then flapping as wings grow from them, breaking the fall as I crash into the water. As darkness envelopes me, I close my eyes and pull my wings out, then emerge and fly into the sky, my dragon scales glistening in the sun. When I need to work or do chores, I imagine my intuition guiding me so my brain can relax. When I need to rest, I dive into the water, then come up and float with the leaves and flower petals.
@@Katimorton Thank you, Kati! :D I'll definitely give them extra tummy rubs and kisses. :) It's taken me years to get to this point, and though life still sucks at times (lol), I have more hope than I did before. Mental vacation time this week! :D
I get that with my writing. A lot of rejections and working so hard to create the best work. It can be exhausting x
Thank you
Omgosh thank you. I didn’t know what was wrong with me until I watched this..
That blouse is everything
I can tell you the exact time I became burned out at the age of 55 (73 now). Divorced, increased pressure at work, I had had enough. I quit working, sold my stuff, and traveled the entire U.S. I landed in Colorado. My sister was living in the mountains at that time and I house sat for here for free rent.
Eventually, I moved to another town, got some meds and therapy and went back to work (for a while anyway).
Now I’m really retired and after another MDD episode moved to Assisted living as all my therapists said I needed to be more social!! Thanks for listening. !😊
U travelled all of the US on your own? Wow that's so admirable + inspiring! Hope life is kinder to u now ❤
Sometimes just dinner with the girls/guys after work does wonders to wash away the day. Puts a smile on all our faces. Xoxo
Nearly all these applied to me. The Dr thought I had anxiety and depression. Working through it all with a good counsellor
Running, late, and efficiency are my top 3 burnout thoughts, along with pejoratives. Escalating burnout feels like running on a treadmill that's rigged to go faster and faster. Catching myself staring into the distance thinking about nothing, as if my brain was forcing a break on me, is also a telltale sign that I'm overwhelmed and possibly burnt out. Not enjoying my work or studies is definitely the n.1 cause of burnout, but it's hard when burnout itself takes enjoyment out of everything.
EXTREMELY burned out!! I just graduated from school with my MSW and am studying for my licensing exam and am SO OVERwHELMED!!! Suggestions on how to get through this would be SO helpful!!
I have every one of those. It doesn't help that I work in a grocery store where a lot of the general public took out their frustrations on myself and coworkers and it still continues even post pandemic.
Everyone is acting like things are back to normal but I've still been having such a hard time recovering. i had a lot of shit happen alongisde the pandemic and it just kept going and going. when the first couple of bad things happened i was so determined to work thru them and get better. but now i've had enough, i'm too overwhelmed and almost reluctant to keep "working" on stuff. I'm just going through the motions 😭
YOU ARE VERY GOOD,
Thanks so much for this Kati. I think it would be really good to cover the question of, what if these signs have been going on for many years, chronically? Does that mean dysthymia? ADHD? What to do when nothing seems to work?
Yes, I’d be interested to hear your response to this, Kati x
I’m so grateful you have posted this. I know this feeling so well xxx
Hello how are you doing?
this was good
I am going through severe work burnout right now. I started a new department that is so monotonous and mond numbing that I dread logging in every day. I haven't dreaded going to work this much since I worked fast food. This new department is horrible. My company recently announced they were doing layoffs and I was like finally thank God I'm a new person and a new department and I have a good chance of being laid off, and this company is known for having a very nice severance package. One person, one person in my department got a lay off. I was like I can't even win the fucking lottery when the lottery is getting laid off!!
I’m burned out. Everything you said is me every day. There’s nothing to look forward to anymore. Nothing excites me. I just want to be me again. I hate this so much. Nothing seems to help. I’m absolutely fried and it’s not getting any better. 😢
I am burnout 😢I can't take care of myself and pay the bills at the same time. Lord when this will end 😢 my brain just tired feel like I am working just to pay bills can't take care of myself personally. I did so much for ppl when I was in good place financially now everyone turns their bk on me. I try to remain grateful for still able to provide basic needs for my family, I avoid looking in mirror bcuz the person I am seeing is not me. I just made some bad financial decisions and dark place even though I hate it here I am grateful to still be alive anything is possible when you have life.
Burned out on people 😡
I was wondering how you managed a workout with Roxy's help but then I saw at the end that she's there for encouragement! Pets are my joy!
She was all over me!! lol! We tried to cut some of it out, but decided to leave a bit in because it was just too funny! She's always my biggest fan.. lol! xoxo
I feel like everything is so boring studying or hanging out with friends feel the same one i can do for longer than the other but there is no emotion related to them
For me using the Pomodoro method of working and breaks helps me I'm not good at explaining it but Gibi ASMR has a few videos that not only explain but walk you through with timers as well.
My tip is to see the humour in everything, be silly. Life is too short to not laugh att pee and poop jokes. I dont mean put on a facade, I mean internally be silly about stuff. Perhaps being the youngest sibling makes it easier for me to be the silly dude. But just let the serious side rest when you’re not in like a business meeting with the board of directors…
This tip is awesome. I do the same thing! 😁
I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing!! xoxo
Co pilot sounds good. I work out to manage my mental health issues
Btw, this whole "burnt out from covid"? That is the same feeling I've had from being old, poor and disabled. Welcome to my world! Anyway, love Kati, need to change the bell so I get more Kati lol 💖🧡💙💗
yes, very true. and being sick, chronically ill as well. alot of things people take for granted, when life is easy. they need to be kind
The lifestyle changes are what get me. Sports leagues and gyms were shut down and it totally turned my world upside down.
I moved from where I talked too everyone too talking too people that hate me for no reason so I'm exhausted and getting too be not so nice I give up so some small dude in the world with a really bad attitude leave him alone .
THANKS FOR TALKING ABOUT PORN ADDICTION AND DRUG🖤👏👏
Of course. xoxo
this is a great video, i’m recovering from burn out and feel like i’m starting to finally feel like myself again. it’s been 2 years of burnout and i think it takes 2-3 to recover from it right?
I know this was two years ago but i am really sad I know this is off topi of what you are saying but I just wanted to say.My grandpa just died today and I am really sad hes been with me since I was born.He is one of my favorite grandpas.Ia m just really sad.I hope you see this Kati Morton :(
You know it dawned on me (the simplest thing). That we often hold it together on our own, but it's literally in the English language that we're meant to hold it TOGETHER, as in actually have it there with other people that can hold space and allow things like that. Just a thought I thought was worth sharing
Now it makes sense, that I have the feeling my life is a roller coaster lately.
xoxox
I just found out I’m autistic, I’ve been looking back at my entire life.. could major depressive disorder be confused for constant burnout?
I've been reading about this. Check out some articles and videos on Austistic Burnout🙏🏼 It's different than (and often mistaken for) depression and different than neurotypical burnout.
A lot of folks on the spectrum have been sharing information about this!
I have felt burned out since developing chronic dyspnea over two years ago on top of already having adhd and I honestly don't know what to do about it most days..

I have all 11 signs of burnout and I feel being menopausal on top of that only intensifies everything!
I got burned out after I lost my baby. The only thing keeping me goin is my hero. I'd give the whole world to see him smile. His handsomeness is relaxing ❤
The cynic in me chuckled when suicide hotline was mentioned. Not saying don't get help. Just made me chuckle having the past I have.
I feel like I’ve been burned out my whole adulthood. I’ll try the tips, baby steps you know
