I'm completely burned out
The fire you used to run on has gone to embers, and pushing harder against an empty tank only scorches what's left. Burnout isn't weakness; it's the bill that comes due after you've over-functioned for far too long. That you can't summon the old energy means you're human, not that you're failing. You don't have to fix this today — you just have to stop pretending you're fine for one honest moment.
Read one, sit with it, and draw as many more as you need.
Exhausted
I'm completely burned out
“Burnout isn't ordinary tiredness; it's what's left after you've spent yourself down to the studs and kept going anyway. Recovery from that takes more than one good night.”
More comforting words for this feeling
“When even the things you used to love feel like chores, that's not laziness. That's burnout flattening the color out of everything, and the color can come back.”
“You didn't burn out because you're weak. You burned out because you kept giving long after your reserves were gone, and no one told you to stop.”
“A weekend won't fix burnout that took months or years to build. Be honest about how deep the depletion goes, and let your recovery match its size.”
