You might not be “lazy.”
You might not be “dramatic.”
You might not be “too sensitive.”
You might be emotionally burned out.
When small tasks feel heavy… When you’re technically getting things done but feel disconnected…
When even good news feels like pressure instead of joy…
That’s not a character flaw. That’s a nervous system asking for relief. Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse.
Sometimes it looks like smiling while feeling numb.
Showing up while feeling empty. Functioning while quietly overwhelmed.
The question isn’t “What’s wrong with me?”
It’s “What has my body been carrying for too long?”
Pause before you push harder. What’s one sign your body gives you when you’re stretched too thin?
