    Burn out is like getting sick of a food you enjoyed and ate for years, suddenly you realize you don’t wanna eat it anymore. You remember the joy it brought you before, but now it’s just tasteless so you try something different. And maybe some day you’ll feel like eating it again… but it’ll take time.

    I liked how he was happy at the end. He escaped the loop of mundane and unenthusiastic creation, letting himself just relax and stop trying to please the audience. I would think that in a more realistic scenario this would be someone taking a long and well deserved break. He can be happy and do what he wants without having it be viewed or criticized by anyone.

    I find it very relatable as well. Having tons of ideas and concepts for your creative endeavor, something you're genuinely passionate about, but lacking that drive or energy to do it. Also being unsatisfied with what you actually manage to do. So you procrastinate, then you feel bad about procrastinating and that just adds to the feelings of anxiety and self-doubt. Not a fun place to be in, but there's always a way out, even if it doesn't feel like it when you're in there.

    Being an artist of any kind (or really just being human, lets be real) is an exercise in dealing with burnout. It especially sucks to get it when you have projects you want to make but just dont have it in you to make them.
    Hang in there though, it might not pass for a while, but it will pass eventually.
    I went years without feeling like i was able to draw or create anything, and as cliché as it sounds, you have to give yourself the time to rest

    I have a whole universe of characters, a whole story, with arcs and locations and stuff, and I'm so passionate to come up with more and more ideas for it and interesting approaches I wanna execute, and sometimes when I bring this up with my mom she's like "why don't you write it down? you could make a book"
    And I feel kinda guilty that for years I've just not felt ready to even begin, like really really begin making it
    I can muster to make short demonstrations, drawings and all that, but no matter how many times I set everything up, to start making the first ever page, I never make it past that, if anything the only character I really feel I can draw without burning out too quickly is Jack, because he's so easy now that I've been practicing so much, but I have so many other characters that I just almost never get to draw or portray, because I've been stagnant, and just building up ideas in my head I can't even think about starting to make a reality for myself
    One of my biggest fears is never getting to actually make and finish this story, and live stagnant in constant burnout, looking lazy and mediocre to most other people because the little I put out is just nothing compared to what I'm always coming up with

      But even just getting a job as it is is such a difficult thing because not only do most jobs now expect more from you for less pay, but the jobs that you do find always end up making burnout worse
      You feel like all you do is sit around for hours and get paid for it, and you go home feeling guilty but not even like you got anything good out of it, you got paid for doing nothing and you still feel relieved you get to go home and fo the same

    as someone with depression and, at this point, just consistent burnout, sometimes, when you're in that pit, you're trying to get out, but you're turned around and disoriented
    when the light is gone you think you're caved in, so you start digging, but you're so lost and confused and panicked that you end up digging further down in an attempt to escape
    and there's just no end to the digging
    and desperation and panic turns into begrudging acceptance of where you're at
    and you just lose the motivation to try and dig out, because for all you know, it's just not working, even though you were unknowingly going in the wrong direction
    edit: started tearing up and crying some during the scene of him just laying there staring blankly at the tv, don't know what that says about me, guess it just felt too real
    edit 2: still as someone who just feels burnt out in regarding to admittedly all the things i should enjoy doing, i can't say it'll be okay, but to anyone reading, Goose as well, you don't have to be productive every second
    i know it really feels like you have to, but your only true job as a human person is to just survive
    and it'll be hard, stressful, distressing, depressing, anxiety inducing, it'll be a lot of things
    but so long as you're still kicking, you're succeeding
    and i hope with utmost sincerity and genuineness, that sometime soon your brain will allow you to recognize that, that you're surviving and making it
    sometimes the most productive thing you can do is to just
    live
    and make it through the day
    and it's okay if that's all your able to do, for any length of time, and it's okay if it doesn't feel as fulfilling as people tell you it is, so long as you're just doing it
    i know it may not mean much from just a random person online, but i do really mean it, from the bottom of my heart
    please take care of yourself

    I've had burnout on a lot of things. Things I love. I also suffer from depression and I find the two very similar. Like a hope in the far distance that you're too tired to grasp even though you want it so bad. It can become all consuming if you let it. It's hard and hangs like a cloud over your head and you just hope for that fleeting moment where you feel good.
    Edit: After reading comments I see I'm not the only one that connected the two. Good luck to you all we can make it if we try.

    in my perspective, burnout isnt trying to climb out of a hole and falling last second, but it is spending a lot of time climbing out of a hole, and when you successfully do that you realize you are inside another hole where you need to climb out again, so you do that over, and over and over again trying to escape the darkness until you just wanna rest forever before you continue climbing again

    I get this, i have work(haunt acting) and it can be fun, but after many hour long nights, it can get tiring for me, so very tiring, especially having to scream my lungs out and constantly making loud noise: one night the stress did get to me, i started screaming and crying out, when all the guests had left and i signed out-- i sat down in the car and turned on the metal genre radio(94.1 jjo to be specific) and i felt calm and seen: even comforted by hearing "spillways" by ghost. I'm a fan of their music, so hearing their music on the way to kwik trip to get some cough drops and snacks was a comforting feeling

  • @adrianavanhoofrodriguez576
    @adrianavanhoofrodriguez576 Před 10 měsíci +2

    Hi Goose, ive been watching your content for around 2 years now, and ive got to say that i understand that feeling. Im a writer (english is not my first language, so apologies for mispelling stuff), and writing and reading are two of my greatest passions, but i get burnt out quickly if i do those two too often/too much a day. Years ago, when i was starting puberty, i tried to write everything that i had planned, every single day for a month. Turns out that gave me a huge burn out, to have to be creative every single day and evade clichés or my work not being good enough. Being influenced by my family that I'd never get to be a good writer if i didnt dedicate to it 24/7, and therefore called me lazy. Highschool came around and gave me even more of a burn out, cause when i wanted to be creative, i had to do work or study, and never found time to balance school, social life, and my hobbies, so i barely read or wrote anything for years. Last year i entered a writing course, and for once i felt like i was in control of how i wanted to write stuff. It gave me a motivation to exercise that part of myself, and i enjoyed the whole course from start to finish. Even when i had family problems and didnt feel like i could write anything, my teacher gave me a flexible schedule to present my work on a different day.
    Now that the course is done, i limit myself to how much i write/read, cause even if i have a lot of fun doing it, it can be mentally exhausting to do it for so long every day.
    So dont blame yourself for "not doing enough", im also a perfeccionist at heart, and i want my work to be the best, but sometimes we can be our greatest enemies when it comes to that, so instead of deleting my work, i get a second opinion, or a third, or a fourth, and i want everyone to be as objective as possible, because sometimes hearing what others really think instead of *what you could've done* helps more. It has worked for me at least.

    many people who feels burnout will take a rest or two and continue doing their burnout activities which is fair, but eventually if you keep doing that you will eventually just quit the thing that gave you burnout

  • @thishandleistacken
    @thishandleistacken Před 8 měsíci

    This intro was really well done... I've been caught in a cycle of burnout for many many years (just turned 31) and watching this intro I started replacing "burnout" with "depressed/depression" and it started making me reflect a lot on how we use euphemisms like "burnout" to avoid using the "d" word because no one wants to associate themselves with depression. I've been avoiding that word for so long but this intro made me realize yeh I am depressed (not always, but it happens in cycles) and I'm often burnt out on life itself. The creative spark, the light of life, is highly present within me almost always but the ability for me to harness that spark and ride it without crashing (rinse, repeat) has been a life long challenge. I know I have every reason to feel this way... especially right now on the week of the 1 year anniversary since my friend was murdered simply trying to get his gf's dog back from his crazy ex which just so happens to be the 1 year anniversary within days of my grandmothers death... and a lot more I won't get into. I have great supportive parents, amazingly interesting friends, a job doing something I actually have a passion for, a loving partner I've been with for over 10 years and another lover we both adore as we're experimenting with being a little poly and uhh yeh... sometimes I just want to disappear from everyone's lives... I stop cleaning my place and get stuck in a rut and then a few days later get back into the joys of life. I've checked in with docs and I'm not bipolar nor anything else besides a little autistic and adhd... I've just had a really weird life with lots of traumatic experiences as well as some truly beautiful and insightful ones. Reconciling this somewhat splintered reality has been a long journey but I've had massive progress over the past few years. I'm glad I watched this though because I didn't want to accept I was currently depressed and burnt out but without accepting that you can't really work through it

    Personally, I'm patient with your content and many others because I've felt burnout. I've felt the fear of failure and rejection forcing me to never move. I've dealt with mental health forcing me to never change. This goes for any piece of entertainment made by anyone and anything (within moral reason): The content is good, it brings me into a place where I can mentally breathe and emotionally speak. That's all I need- from any creator or artist or musician- really anybody honestly.

The reason I like your channel is because you’re clearly not like that. I can tell that you genuinely love the content and care about analyzing and sharing great content from small creators and I’m sure you’re contributing to the success of at least a few creators on the platform. Thanks for what you do!

    I remember I use have burnouts so often during exam weeks, I wanted to study and feel responsible enough to work, but I just couldn't get the will to do it, I remember curling up in my bed once and thinking im weak and I even compared myself to other students, and I remember would feel like a heavy humid mop after school ended

    Goose boose, your description of what it’s like to be a content creator and needing to take a break from reality is a thing I’ve struggled with a lot. It feels like life is too much and you just wish you could stop time and rest for as long as you can and not have to constantly catch up with life.
    I wanna say you’ll be able to get out of this, soon there will be a time again where you can finally crawl out of that hole and bathe in the light. It’s a journey, not a race.

    "nice to meet ya! i'm digging a hole! i will never give you the remote control! im calling as im falling down the same hole that i dug last time"
    idk if its burnout but sometimes i have aspirations to make things, i get really far and then i stop because whatever it was that drove me to make it is suddenly gone and now nothing is fun, so i use the free time i have binge watching youtube videos instead of working on those projects and getting them finished, which i dont even find fun, it just keeps me sane to hear noise from another person, even trying to play a singleplayer videogame is weird because of the silence, but not even videogames are really fun anymore, theres periods where they are fun and when they arent. about the same time that happens, a new idea for a new project comes into my head, so the unfinished projects just start to mount up. i wish i had the motivation or something or maybe more courage, but some things, it feels like i'll never get good at and trying to be a beginner at some things feels wrong, like trying to draw.

      Not being able to sometimes so much as get out of bed because it feels like all motivation has been legit sucked out of me like some sort of motivation vampire.
      Its very comparable to how I feel when I'm depressed.

    Goose, my friend. I do hope you read this. Since I became disabled, it's so difficult to do even the simplest things. I know in my case it's my body, but limited physical movement really plays hell with your mind.
    I have so many ideas for things written in my phone: A podcast, a small radio station has asked me to present, I've been a tech writer most of my life, and there's tons more I've written that I could do. But the physical interferes with the mental so much.
    I find that watching YT, some Amazon Prime, my disc collection, keeps me occupied, but 2023 has been the hardest most painful year thus far. I always say "Tomorrow will be better". But often it isn't.
    Your content is great, and you know it. You know your audience WILL wait for you, there's no doubt. But if you don't feel up to it, or your heart's not in it, it won't work - and as a self-confessed perfectionist, you wouldn't be happy with sub standard videos.
    I'm in Northern Europe, a small island. But the Internet has helped me explore culture and subjects that weren't accessible before '94 or so. But this isn't important. No matter where we are, burnout for whatever reason is like being in stasis while time moves around you. You're stuck in place.
    I'd love to motivate you. I'd love to be the Drill Sergeant from those Nam films. But I couldn't and wouldn't tell *you* to do anything. I just want you to know that I empathise. That burnout is personal, applies only to *that* individual, and you can't tell, suggest, or force anything.
    I just want to say I hope you feel better soon. I've just watched your latest video and it's amazing. Maybe you're emerging from your funk, and I hope that's the case. But be patient with yourself, and I truly hope you feel better, mentally, physically, and spiritually really soon.
    Love from Northern Europe, Goose. All the very best to you. Feel better ❤

    This is why I sometimes live by the belief that you don't always need to share what you love. Not encouraging anyone else to do so, if you want to you can.
    For me, when I feel like I HAVE to do something to appease people then that's when everything becomes boring to me and I lose the ability to create. When I'm doing things on my own time and I actually take time away from my work I feel more productive in the end.
    At first I wanted to become an animator, but over the years I slowly realized it was just a hobby that I enjoyed when it was just me admiring my work and progress. But when I showcased my talents, I received a bunch of compliments and got the common "You could sell these!". And I'd feel so wrong hearing that. To me that meant that I'd have to do it this certain way, this type of style, and this amount of time. And it didn't sound fun anymore. So now i'm doing it for myself and slowly trying to regain my creativity.

    this is basically I've been trying for decades now to be a writer and yet only for the first time had anything actually published this year; every time I pour myself into a project, I burnout on it before it's even finished, usually. I experience especially short and intense cycles of this sort because I'm bipolar, and my brain essentially burns through neurotransmitters much faster than a normal person's, and the worst part is that the closest thing to a solution is to take drugs that essentially shut down parts of my brain and leave me working way below the capacities of a normal person rather than above them. The analogy I've used is it's like I'm constantly trying to run modern software on a computer from 1998, like I can sometimes get it to work, but it's like nothing runs fast enough and everything is overheating and crashing constantly, but in the case of my brain it's not like I can just buy new hardware, obviously, I'm stuck with physiology that essentially can't biochemically accommodate the way my mind works.

  • @alignthestars
    @alignthestars Před 10 měsíci +1

    Goose, this video made me so sad - I'm so sorry you're going through this. I've been there, and it truly is like you have days where it's like "hey I'm coming back!" and then the next day, you're just back down in the pit (if not further sunk). I do want to say, though, I am coming out of it, and it really will get better. You do NEED to take care of yourself first and foremost, though - that's not being selfish, it's not a negative thing, it's just a neutral fact. Your mental health is necessary to do your job, so treat it like it's a tool that needs repair. Taking time away IS NECESSARY. Not forcing yourself to do the things that burnt you out in the first place IS NECESSARY. God, it sucks not doing the things you're "supposed" to be doing, but it really, really helps.
    We'll still be here when you're better. And, god forbid, you don't go back to posting like you did - ever? That's okay, too. Anyway, I hope this didn't come off as condescending, I really, really feel you and have been there (and still am, but getting better every day).

  • @SallyBerry9
    @SallyBerry9 Před 8 měsíci

    Being Autistic and ADHD, burnout is a very common state myself and other AuADHD people find themselves in.
    What I’ve found is being kind to yourself is the best thing to do. Forcing yourself to do anything related to the burn out will just cause more emotional distress and make it last longer.
    Do hobbies that made you happy as a child, finger painting, playing with clay, boot up an old video game, anything that will sooth you back into a state where your mind can relax. If you like being outside and it’s safe, walk in nature, or look into one of those services that allow you to borrow someone’s dog for a walk. Even reach out to a local shelter and as if they need someone to walk their dogs. Animals are such good helpers for stress.
    Living for other people is all fine and dandy, but you’ve got to be living for you. And looking after yourself is a massive part of that

    I used to be a video creator. Some of them I sped through because it felt more like a chore than a joy. I don’t get paid, it was more a means of keeping sanity through COVID. I got to 100 videos and then just couldn’t bring myself to create more. Sometimes I think that I’d like to do another one, but I never do.
