Overcoming emotional fatigue that prevents you from functioning
Many people unknowingly suffer from psychological fatigue. We can blame it to unsatisfactory employment. Less flexible social interactions. Naturally, this may be. It might also be the opposite. Emotional fatigue renders everything else ineffective.
Emotional exhaustion saps power. This occurs when you live mechanically, without thought or feelings, and as if everything is imposed on you. As if you don't value or own your life.
Fatigue causes despair.
Juan Carlos Onetti
Adulthood can leave one emotionally exhausted. If the family is dysfunctional, the individual has most likely used a significant amount of energy adjusting to a hostile environment. The following signs can indicate emotional exhaustion.
In contrast to regular fatigue, you feel this exhaustion even while you are resting. Perhaps the body and mind do not want to work. As if the only option is to sleep and wake up the following month. This does not alleviate fatigue.
Physical exhaustion is less severe than emotional fatigue. When you're emotionally weary, situations can overwhelm your resources. A vast list of unresolved emotional concerns results in perceived weight and tiredness.
Modern pessimism causes us to brag about our shortcomings. "Yeah, I'm doing it wrong, so what?" Cynicism presents itself through self-destructive and/or reckless behaviour, such as late-night walks in dangerous areas, speeding, and so on.
This depicts a life-weary general. Your emotional exhaustion forces you to block out your emotions. Anaesthetize yourself. It's as if you want to say that nothing matters. Your life energy is low. You lack the determination to resist or try something better.
Detachment is the feeling of not connecting with people or situations. A kind of invisible barrier keeps you from connecting with life and the planet.
Detachment might result in loneliness. You don't care about anything else. You embrace it as reality rather than a possibility. You create arguments for selfishness or ineffectual love.
An emotionally fatigued person feels helpless or unable to do anything. She tries hard to convince herself that no amount of effort will suffice. Success rates will also drop. Why set goals when nothing changes?
Ineffectiveness increases emotional exhaustion. Something appears to demand a great deal of energy. We have none. Everything feels difficult. Passivity is common of emotionally fatigued individuals.
In these circumstances, we find it difficult to enjoy both large and small things. Everything appears bland or tasteless to us. Plans and projects are not our thing. Inertia reigns supreme. The man lets the circumstances carry him without protest. Untreated, this can result in anhedonia.
If you are feeling emotionally weary, keep in mind that everything is subject to change. You may need expert assistance not because you are weak, but because someone else can identify and resolve issues.
In this case, prioritise your health. Nothing matters more than you. When you start a transformation process, you will see results quickly. Simply select a new course.
