Feeling Emotionally Burnt Out? You’re Not Alone.

Emotional burnout doesn’t always look dramatic — sometimes it looks like silence, exhaustion, or feeling numb when you used to care so deeply. It’s what happens when your emotional energy has been stretched too thin for too long — by caregiving, relationships, work, or just the constant pressure to keep it all together.

You might feel irritable over small things, disconnected from your own needs, or like you're running on autopilot. Tasks that used to feel manageable now feel impossible. You may even wonder, “Why can’t I just snap out of this?” But burnout isn’t about weakness — it’s about depletion.

The truth is, emotional burnout is your body and mind asking for rest, boundaries, and repair. It’s not something to push through — it’s something to respond to with care. Slowing down, asking for help, and reconnecting with your own needs aren’t indulgent — they’re necessary.

If you’re feeling this way, you’re not broken. You’re human — and you deserve support.
