Hi everyone,

I don’t know about everyone else but I am exhausted… seriously burnt out! It’s been coming for a while but this year has drained me. The work stress has been overwhelming and endless. My energy depleted.

I need to see a Doctor but too exhausted to even make the appointment. Unpacking the dishwasher and I feel like I have run a marathon. Actually unpacking the groceries has me puffing for air. Don’t know if it’s the leftovers of the flu earlier this year and my inactivity but all of this combined is impacting my ability to get out of bed on the weekend.

I do absolutely nothing but sit as physically I just can’t manage anymore than this. I was never ever like this before…

I hope you are ok and doing better today. Fiatlux 🙏🏼

I'm here and ready to talk. What's on your mind?

Hey Fiatlux,

I'm sorry to read that you are not feeling well. I'm not an expert, but I think I can relate about feeling exhausted all the time despite not doing any hard physical activity (why do you think my name is sleepy😅). I had that issue when my doctor told me I have anxiety and depression. It really drains you and makes you feel like "blah" all the time.

My only piece of advice is please see your doctor asap, the sooner you do it the sooner you can tackle whatever issues you may have. I know things can be easier said than done, but what harm is there in taking the first step/s to getting the help you need?

I'm still relatively new here myself, so hopefully some more experienced community members out there can give you better advice and have some useful links that could help you.

Wish you the best. SleepyRain

Hi Fiatlux,

Really sorry to hear what you are going through, feeling this way for such a long time can take a toll on your physical and mental health.

As you have mentioned, please push yourself to make an appointment with your GP or a mental health professional as quickly as possible. I hope you have family or friends to support you too.

Work is important and vital but so are YOU. If I may ask, is there any way you can take a day or two off work and do something for yourself? Even if it is something small like taking a trip to the local botanical gardens (being with nature) or going to the museum or whatever that interests you.

It may feel hard at the moment but if you are able to do any small change to your routine might do wonders for your general well-being.

There is some useful info, link as below in our BB website if you want to check out: (apologies if you have already seen it)

Burnout and mental health - Beyond Blue

I really hope you feel better, energetic and go back to how you were feeling before 😊🙏.

Happy to listen and help if you want to chat more.

Warm hugs, take care...

Happylife

Hello Sienna_12,

If you need to vent, just vent. These forums are here for that, for those who may not have support in real life or just find it hard to open up and don't know where to start. No pressure tho, you can talk about things when you feel ready. I'm still slowly opening up myself, but it is always good to know there is a community on here that is willing to listen.

Take Care,

SleepyRain

Hi, I Hope everyone is doing okay.

I have had a bit of a tough week this week, I had to say goodbye to my beautiful cat of 17 years and while this was happening, I had an argument with my stepdaughter and her partner, and I haven't had the metal or emotional strength to open the discussion line to fix it. Every time I contemplate how I should go about it my anxiety and trauma response go into overdrive, and I can't bring myself to do it as I don't want the possible repercussions.

At some point it will have to happen but until then I will just keep on doing what I know I can do to get through.

Hello LostSoul

I'm so sorry that you're going through all this, it's a lot to handle. Losing our pet is very heart breaking and it takes time to grieve as it's really hard to deal with a loss of our faithful companion.

All this can stretch us to the limits and we're not the usual ourselves. It can all make us more sensitive and it's easier to get upset. It's ok to give ourselves time to heal and calm down and then deal with difficult things later. Maybe giving a short message to your step daughter saying that it's all too much for you at this moment but you really want to sort it out later when you're in a better shape.

I'm really sorry about your cat and I hope that things will get better for you.
Please let us know how you're going whenever you feel like it

I totally get you and understand as I'm going thru similar that started back in april, I'm starting a mental health plan from Monday with my GP.

Your words At some point it will have to happen but until then I will just keep on doing what I know I can do to get through, make sense to me. Give yourself time.

Not ok. Just lashed out. Doesn't seem to care. My feelings are not a priority to him. I'm tired. I'm broken.

Re: Is everyone okay?

Tina77 — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 06:22:32 GMT

No.
