Looks at title and thumbnail Remembers my average heartrate of at least 160 BPM Panics Finds out it’s about working Calms down It’s about not overworking yourself PANICS AGAIN BECAUSE I DO THAT OFTEN
Yep. I let my feeble attempt to find approval for my works of art drive me to burnout, and AUTISTIC BURNOUT is a beast of its own kind, and now i don’t know for sure how things will go from here. Yep, i’m most definitely regretting stuff now, and i gotta actively look for individual remedies for my causes.
this hits a little bit close to home. imagine coming home from work at 7pm and then getting yelled at by your parents for wanting to play some video games / watch something and chill instead of keeping an eye on the CCTV until i sleep.
8:23 "Finally, ME vs ME" Missed opportunity to insert "Ware wa Messiah nari" moment Jokes aside, I think I'm pretty lucky to find this video at my early 20s. I'm 1 year away from graduation and going to have a whole career ahead, so there's always risks of me devoting myself TOO much to work and spending the later half of my life being hospitalized. The adverb "too" serves its purpose as always: a warning that what we're doing is starting to become harmful no matter what. For subscribing to a gaming channel it's unexpected, but it was an invaluable lesson. Hopefully after this video, you, me, and everyone here will take better care of ourselves
Yeah for real he's loaded with wisdom, totally unexpected when I looked up a Mega Man Zero walkthrough that first time. (I got his no damage S rank run, never knew anyone could game that hard in Mega Man until then.)
im 37 years old and had my share of pain but also i've played all classic and x megaman games, im new to zero and this channel and this video is the first that popped up after subscribing. it was a interesting watch. hope you dont forget your own lessons and take good care of yourself.
Wise words my friend, wise words indeed. Take care of yourself Magnus. And that goes for the rest of you too. Your health and LIFE comes before your job. IDGAF what you boss thinks. I know things are tough but you only got one body so best take care of it ya?
To share a personal experience, for 34 years i pushed myself to do everything, ignoring my limits, having a truly bad job with harassment issue and horrible shifts that aren't even allowed normally. Until two and a half year ago I ended up in an accident at work while showing up burn out signs due to it and others work related issues. I now am in therapy since then and with chronic pain that prevent me from doing anything, i do not even have hope of recovering, while taking a ungodly amount of painkiller and medication for my mental state for nearly three years. In short, please, learn to accept when to take time for yourself. The world will continue going with or without you. So better preserve health and mental sanity before you snap and it is too late. Finding this video today seemed like fate. I wish you all a wonderful day.
I had a former friend who was extremely great at so many things, and could output extremely high amounts of quality and quantity across many different fields with how great she is. She can make multiple gigantic, boundary-breaking mods at once; make multiple albums, make multiple gigantic videos and put them out daily, stream daily for hours on end, and do graphic design; all at once, and do them all extremely and amazingly well. And her social life and leisure aren't suffering either. Her friends and communities see her as a living legend and a shining beacon of hope and positivity. She told me I could surpass her at everything she does and be even greater, but I kept falling victim to my inner critic, because I think I cannot possibly match her, let alone surpass her, plus she's younger than me. But this inner critic is what is preventing me. Especially since I am dealing with much harsher issues in my daily life. Ironically, this inner critic is enslaving me to be someone who cannot work no matter how much she wants to. Especially since it tells me I cannot be as great as her. And I feel burnt out doing nothing with myself. I want to do something but I cannot, even if I barely did anything before I'm at this point. I need to do something soon, even if it isn't gigantic and perfect like what she does. I remembered Hayao Miyazaki and how he made his short music video On Your Mark (1995) because he was dealing with burnout over working on the gigantic project Princess Mononoke. Because of how Miyazaki is (a workaholic who wants to keep creating), he decided to make a short music video with the same amount of quality but with far more freedom for experimentation (due to its nonlinear story structure and short length). He put Princess Mononoke's production on hold to make this short film. And after it was finished, he returned to working on Princess Mononoke reinvigorated after doing something different and on a smaller scale. If anything, if it weren't for On Your Mark, maybe Miyazaki would've taken longer to finish Princess Mononoke.
thanks magnus for this reminder, as much as we're told to just hustle it out, obviously not every time we can and shouldn't if we can't, also wanted to say I feel really sorry for your torn muscle
There's a safety sign that always pops into my mind when the overachiever side goes "WE CAN DO THIS, YOU'LL BE FIIIIINE." It reads as follows for those of you who sometimes forget: *WARNING: If you don't take time to schedule maintenance, your machine will schedule it for you* Great vid and good reminder for all of us.
I’ve since started to dial back how much work I do at my job. I take more breaks than I used to as a way to de-stress myself. It’s always necessary to take a step back and ask yourself “Am I doing to much?”
This whole take about overextending yourself and hussle culture is so true. It sucks. And it sucks having to live while hearing people older than you constantly telling you that you're lazy just because you cannot produce to the extent they did, or even find a job in the first place. You wanna prove them wrong so bad, so much so that I had to deal with literal depression and self-deletion thoughts because of it. It sucks. (Also in adition to this, I'd recommend going to therapy as well.)
Honestly I think they're just shitty people. I'm in that fucking situation, and she treats people around her like shit. Almost as if they're all COMPLETELY delusional. Not just that, but they don't pay attention or care about the fact that you're suffering? That's just plain evil. There isn't another way to look at it beyond the fact that they are self centered, close minded and full of fucking shit.
Shows there's one reply, but it's deleted... it was mine. RUclips can commit self deletion tbh. Apt descriptor given it's software in a sense. Anyway, how did you cope with it and move on? Because I'm kinda stuck rn myself...
Hustle culture bros when you don’t wake up at 4 am, run 5 miles, go to the gym, take a cold shower, do 10 hours of work, work on your side hustle, read 10 self help books, meditate, and eat bland ass chicken and rice (which they call “fuel”) every day of the week: 😡😡😡🤬😡 I really liked this video! Definitely the message I needed to hear after I slept in way too late today lol. I can definitely do way too much not only with work and school, but also trying go out and be social. I’m gonna see if I can cancel some plans for the weekend and kick back 😁.
Something important that I learned from my therapist is that I gotta accept that we live in an imperfect society. We must work a lot or a few in function of how it benefits us, not in function of an ideal world; and if, for example, someone is very very altruistic and only knows about sacrificing their own health for others, then it's probably because they have an ideal world in their head. Some people just don't want to be "egoistical" or "weak" in any degree, but they don't realize that not being egoistical is an egoistical choice by itself, and that trying not to be weak is a weak choice by itself. These things are fueled by emotions, and they can be controlled by stopping anything you're doing and relaxing. Yes: no matter if you take a hour or more, or if you are doing something super duper important, more "important" than not getting a migraine. But like, people just don't do stuff like taking a break because it's not intuitive. If they don't work then it will affect them negatively later on, right? Yeah, but so does working when you hate your life, right? One must accept that, if there's a piece of advice that sounds reasonable to you but you still don't wanna follow it, then it's because it DOESN'T actually make sense to you deep inside. Like, in a spiritual, moral, whatever way. It's not wise to fight your enemies suboptimally. Just return later, nobody will reward you for losing all your hair over 5 years. And if something doesn't make sense to you, then it's not because others are wrong: but because YOU think they are wrong, from your perspective experience. You choose more in life than you think. (Amazing video by the way, glad I became a Mega fan once again recently ❤)
There's a whole bit for myself, since I am currently unemployed, that I should get stuff done and work things out. But there's been so many days I've been not only exhausted but also mentally checked out I just wanna lower my head and pass out, and I can't, cause I feel that need to help. The last few days I've been doing things to not get myself overdone and overworked and it feels pretty good to just kick back. Thanks bro. Hope you keep yourself well too.
Thanks and likewise, you seem genuinely caring, your content is great, as a fellow mega man enthusiasts I enjoy your speed runs you're quite skilled! Take it easy and don't let anyone make you feel like your less than what you need to be, your Rock solid!👊
I wish I'd learned this lesson sooner. I'm glad for your sake that you had co-workers that cared about your well being. When I'd take that extra shift, shrug off being cornered into taking a double with no breaks, or come into work while injured or sick it wasn't long before everyone around me got too comfortable with that and just started to expect it. I definitely have that same internal voice insisting I'm being weak for taking a day off. It happened gradually enough that I didn't understand the severity of the situation I was getting into, soon everyone would take advantage and things just kept getting worse and my health and well being paid the price. Thanks for putting this out there, it's good to know our limits and treat ourselves with respect. Don't push yourself too hard.
I had to learn this myself. I used to be that person to push beyond my limits, and the result was not a great one. Thank you for making this video to remind us of what's truly important.
I really related to this both in my own personal ambitions and work life For exemple last year i sepent 3 to 4 weeks breaking my ass over learning how to sprite or code And it all ended up crumbling into nothing and it was always that self impossing voice to tell me to "do one more line of code that will magically fix everything or just one more hour and i will be closer to the end goal" i just ended up being delusional and the realization just killed me
I can relate to a lot of this and I hate it. I tried walking off a clearly broken leg once after a car crash and it took a coworker driving to my place and telling me she won’t leave until I went to the hospital and called our boss about some much needed time off. All because I was so hellbent on proving myself to my boss because I’m pretty sure he thought I was stupid.
Same-ish, except that I'm naturally honest so I usually just say exactly exactly what I feel like. 😅Unless it's my boss or something, but beyond that I kinda don't give a shit LMAO.
So focus on the fruits of the labor done and don't stress about the result. Man that is a tough one, hopefully I can get there. Also PLEASE tell me you saw a doctor at some point in that story, because if it was THAT bad then I would have.
Very recently stopped gaming to focus on university and my other goals. I know myself enough to understand that voice of criticism and I've kinda outgrown it with my self-reflection this year, but as I started to challenge myself with bigger goals, and thus bigger obstacles (specifically undoing habits of practically 10 years as I make other new ones), I found that I somehow needed to find the 'discipline' to get the ball rolling any day and not get distracted. This discipline came in the form of that voice of criticism coming back, along with constructive criticisms, but my wisdom now kind of lets me see it for what it is and more so 'use it' without really falling into the tunnel vision due to fear of inadequacy and discomfort, as weird as that sounds. Smart work is a tricky fickle thing, but for me I nowadays like to honor my limits while knowing I work best under pressure, while also knowing when to stop and smell the flowers. Infinitesimal increasing steps are the best. Thanks for the vid! Love your content. Definitely noted.
Everyone has their own limits, but not everyone recognizes them until their situation hits critical mass. I had a moment like that when I was helping my dad throw out some windows one weekend. When I woke up for work that Monday, I felt really sore in my chest. Turns out I pulled a muscle in my chest, so I decided not to do any chest or upper body exercises at the gym for a few weeks (I still did other things though; mostly lower body stuff). So yeah, I definitely see where you're coming from.
I would be lying if I say I never Experienced this (no pun intended) but I feel and still feel like my stuff could be better than it is but before I feel drained if my stuff doesn’t do as how I want it to do, consistently trying to think of ideas till i mentally can’t anymore mostly due to overthinking of what if it won’t do as well but thankfully it not as bad back then when my channel was small and trying things.
Jeez, that must have hurt like a motherfu- er. In all seriousness, I can definitely relate to doing work when you just don't want to. I take a long while to work on my own projects, and it feels like I should be getting it done faster, because I don't want to make people wait as long as I usually make them, but at the same time I just feel mentally drained after a bit of working, and I want to call it a night, but then there's still that "Voice" telling me "You shoulda got more done dingbat!". Sure, I don't go back to working after that, but I still have that feeling of I should be doing more, and as you said, that an't healthy, sometimes you just need to call it a day, and not work for a bit to mentally or physically reset until you can get back on the horse with a better mindset.
i know this ain't related to the vid but since most of the other mega man games don't have as fast paced combat as the zero or X series why don't you try some fangames?

That supervisor was no supervisor, that was an Angel at work. Props to him.
lol imagine an anime called "My guardian angel is a part timer." xD
Looks at title and thumbnail
Remembers my average heartrate of at least 160 BPM
Panics
Finds out it’s about working
Calms down
It’s about not overworking yourself
PANICS AGAIN BECAUSE I DO THAT OFTEN
reminds me of an old saying: "If you dont decide when to take a break, your body will do it for you. and it's never at a convenient time."
Bro went from my favourite speed runner to my favourite therapist 🧘🏽♂️
Yep. I let my feeble attempt to find approval for my works of art drive me to burnout, and AUTISTIC BURNOUT is a beast of its own kind, and now i don’t know for sure how things will go from here.

I submitted vacation time, I need a break before a break breaks me
Ah, I get that pun now. Had to re-read it a couple times lol.

Great vid and good reminder for all of us.
Hearing your supervisor get your coworkers to donate PTO is the sort of thing that gets a lot of flak on r/OrphanCrushingMachine
magnus met a true MEGA MAN at his work, glad we have people who understand
The adage of "work smarter, not harder" is something worth preaching to the hustle hard crowd.
I’ve since started to dial back how much work I do at my job. I take more breaks than I used to as a way to de-stress myself. It’s always necessary to take a step back and ask yourself “Am I doing to much?”
