What time is it there right now and what are you thinking about?
9:01 am :)
Oh and I just burnt my arm with a hair straightener.
( Idk everyone else is putting in their self harm so why not. )
1:02 AM and I’m thinking abt going and dying
Psych2Go it is 12:01 and I am thinking about if I should overdose with melatonin but idk if I should I have cut already so ya 😓
5:03 A.M. I’m thinking I should probably sleep. Heh
1:02 am and im thinking about (tw) sh
When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be lonelier than when you're by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don't feel like you can trust anyone or talk to anybody, you feel like you're really alone.
yes... I feel more alone when I am with people than when I am actually by myself
yup.. i feel ya there..
Hope you find the right people to surround yourself with :)
I love being alone. I wish I was living in a secluded island. At night looking in the starry night by the sea shore.. With the light coming from the moon and my crackling bonfire... I would love that.
I'm feel like I can relate to this a little too much...
Sending love to those struggling with depression and burnout:)
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks .
Well i never suffered from those before
But thx alot
@@samuraiboi2735 you're so damn lucky....hope it stays that way...believe me...the worst form of depression scars you for a long time....if not for a lifetime.....stay away from it. Please.
Even though there is a split in the screen between the "depression" and the "burnout" cartoon figures, the fact that they acknowledge each other through the split and seem to care about what the other is going through somehow made me feel so much better. It's like even though we all deal with issues and it looks like we're alone, someone somewhere sees us and cares.
crying.
What a thoughtful comment! Thank you
This is why I really like this channel. The characters always touch my heart.
Aw...
That's really kind of you to say that! Thank you!
"burnout or depression, which one are you?"
me: yes.
edit: OMG THAN- jk. but for real how do you even deal with burnout?
Same .
well, as someone whos had depression for a long while and has been experiencing burnout and low energy over the past few weeks i can relate. so uh yep.
Agreed 100%
same
I know right
"Hating yourself just because you failed a test."
Dang, I feel exposed
Same
yeah me too, especially when my parents find out
Same lol💀
A test as a single event or mistake vs hating yourself because your a middle aged fail that sucks at life
Same lol
I’m actually lowkey burned out but not sure
I’m so demotivated
I’m so addicted to video games
I’m no longer studying everyday
I no longer care about the important thing
I no longer step out of my comfort zone
I feel like what I’m doing is all pointless
Please help
Oh boy..this sounds like just as if i m describing myself......i always had problem with wording out how i felt.... so i couldn't really tell how i felt... there's just something...i just can't put my finger on it.... and u did that for me.....u told everything that i feel like..... thank u so much.....i hope we get better soon😣
Good job, you actually asked for help. Not alot of people are as brave as you. If you wanna someone listening to you. You can text me
Sis wtf, you just described me I- 🐎💨
I feel the same, and my family just misinterprets as being lazy and irresponsable and I'm very irritable around them because of that. I don't want to hate them but sometimes the grudge and the anger towards them feels unbearable.
I feel like im finding my true family here
Can’t tell if I’m depressed or if I’ve been burned out for years... doesn’t help that school work and socializing both cause me stress.
it could be both, sadly. I hope that you get better ❤️
@@bilsdweeb yikes. Thank you!
Same, I have so much school work and it's because of my language arts teacher. If she didn't assign huge assignments, maybe I wouldn't be so depressed or burned out whichever one I am or even both Idk. She is also really boring so it's hard to follow along. My language arts teacher last year had fun activities and did mindfulness with the whole class. She would also explain things very well and come around to each individual table to ask if anyone had any questions. It was so easy to go up to her to ask questions. This year in language arts it's way harder.
@@dimplesfriend6937 Oof. Yea covid is making it worse. It's hard for me to do virtual learning because of not being in a classroom environment since I'm virtual. It's also hard for me because I have ADHD. I feel the same about dry eyes right now. My parents had a huge fight because my dad never really interacts with us and just sits at his desk all day while my mom is working hard and trying to get the house clean but my dad isn't doing anything. My mom then started yelling at me because I had a few missing language arts assignments and she knows it's hard for me especially because I also have autism and the type I have is Asperger's so I'm very smart but don't do well in social situations and my mom told me that it also makes it hard for me when having huge assignments or a lot of instructions at once. The social anxiety part of Asperger's is really annoying because I don't like asking my teachers questions or emailing them unless it's a teacher I'm close to which is usually only my science teachers and sometimes math teachers, and only once it's been a language arts teacher because she was so nice and looked out for students mental health by doing mindfulness every week and trying to not make us stressed by explaining things really well and having multiple days to complete things and coming around to each table to ask if anyone had any questions. There would also be fun activities. At the end of last year when we had to switch to virtual she encouraged us to do things like origami, puzzles, and more. They were actually assignments we had to complete so it wasn't optional. It made that class more fun. That was my language arts teacher last year. My language arts teacher this year is boring and either has not enough instructions or too many things to do on assignments.
@@dimplesfriend6937 Thanks! I'm doing a bit better now but I'm still overwhelmed.

Actually been thinking about this for a couple of weeks...then when I look up the price I felt even worse, especially mentally seeing the cost adding up through multiple visits 😔
Thank you for teaching me that "depersonalization" was a characteristic of burnout. I had no way of describing or explaining the reason why I've felt so numb these past few weeks. Even when I tried to do things that make me happy, it felt like I was watching it in the 3rd person, like I was outside of my body and not really experiencing it for myself.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Glad the video was helpful! :)
Same!!! I had no idea. I just got a promotion a few months ago and I thought I was maybe getting Depressed again but nope- burnout.
I’m depressed since 12 years old and I have panick attack now, At the first Time I was dealing with depersonalization it was so strange 😫 now i try to go out with my boyfriend and ect… but i have 22 years old and I’m exausted of my mental health so whatever a burnout + a depression or i don’t know I’m tired. I’m from france so, sorry for my english
@@leacreativite845 sometimes I want to kill myself but sometimes I just want to sleep forever, I am always tired of being alive and of nobody understanding my mind

Having depression and being burned out at the same time is a wild ride I can’t recommend.
This is so teue.
Honestly.
Truth
And yet I'm on this ride anyways ayy
Hey why do i feel the same as you-
"Is it Burnout or Depression?"
My brain: Por que no las dos?
Que veo, habla hispana?
Totalmente.
@@leandroroman7053 Coincido
This was funnier than it should’ve been
But in a serious note, I empathize with u
“Others struggle with it for almost their entire lives, seemingly getting better, only for it to get worse all over again.“
Me: *NERVOUS LAUGHING*
*Nervous Laughter Intesifies* welp frick
hey thats me and thxs for giving me more depression exp's
To- someone I know (family connection's including the mother and father side)
*suddendly starts screaming in pain*
for me, burnout led to depression (diagnosed by psychologists). i personally don’t agree in saying burnout is easier to treat as 3.5 years after my burnout i’m still definitely struggling… the thing with burnout is that many who get burnt out never get back the capabilities they had before. having both of these at the same time also presents a challenge since i need to activate myself to not sink deeper into depression, but to not worsen my burnout i can’t get too active as i need lots of rest. it’s as if working against one of the issues enables the other one…
Yes, I agree. I left my job 2.5 years ago, because of burnout that started affect my personal life. Only after a year my partner started see a small changes, that reminded him of person I was before burnout. Even now, when there is similar tasks from my old job or some intense days, I feel whiplash from burnout.
This!! For me it has been 2 years now (with all the professional help available) and I'm still nowhere near functioning on an even ok lvl. And lightyears away from where I was before. My sense of self-esteem was also very connected to achieving things, so can't exactly say that that has remained intact when trying to navigate this either. Before I was able to (or so i thought) easily juggle many things at once, full schedule all days of the week and I was constantly pushing myself to reach my goals. Now I can hardly cook a meal.
Also not being able to do most things in general or even do things I enjoy specifically without always having to suffer consequences afterwards (or having to quit in the middle or smth)... if that doesn't lead to depression at some point idk. Everything just leads down into the same black hole. Again and again.
Yes, I'm very bitter and I absolutely hate it here. And me for doing this to myself.
Amen to all that. I was diagnosed with both also, on December 30th 2018. I’m still recovering. Big hug, we’ve got this!
they did not say it's easier to treat in general.
they just said that in comparison, treating burnout is easier THAN depression.
I KNEW IT. sorry, i mean : i knew it, i was sure it had to lead to depression, i was personally depressed first but i had gotten so much better, i'm pretty sure it's a burnout that made me relapse. And holy shit, it was some hardcore relapse. I think it should be treated just as seriously, depression being so dangerous, if it can be the first step into it, then it can be just as dangerous. To me it fits in their 4d classification, idk and anyway it sounds really dumb to not focus on preventing depression before it happens x-x
I'm totally dealing with depression, I always avoid getting burnout from working anyways
Hey dude, do you want to talk about it?
@ The Virtuoso hi, you can talk to me if u want ☺️
@Angelina Lefevers wait how do you know?
@Angelina Lefevers how do you know you have depression?

"burnout or depression, which one are you?"
is it too much to ask for both?
@Phil for President 2020
That’s not, strictly speaking, what despair refers to, but it was poetic and relatable, so I’ll give you a like anyways
Funny
The answer to that qestion is yes
I have both
@@bruinsfan902 Same here bro
Looks like I have achieved the pinnacle of burnout - habitual burnout. I get exhausted quite easily and check off all symptoms for onset of stress, chronic stress, burnout, and finally habitual burnout where all the symptoms have become a regular part of my life. It started in university and though I've graduated almost 2 years ago, I haven't recovered from it and I'm so easily tired of everything. Sometimes I get these bursts of energy and I am present and enjoying life, but other times I wish I didn't exist, or like I could run away to the middle of nowhere and live on a farm alone...
me too, my burnout started when i got in med school 3 years ago and i quit because of it, changed careers in uni and i still feel so tired
Yes everything you described is me as well. It’s awful
This sounds so much like me.
My escapist dream is van life. Though I'm quite sure it's too romanticised in my mind...
I hope you'll feel better soon.
I have gotten professional help and it has helped me a lot with dealing with the negative feelings.
Though it stays hard to find the energy I once had... Even when doing Fun stuff.
Honestly same. Except I'm in uni right now - I was "supposed" to graduate May 2021 - and the amount of time I have left keeps being extended because I keep doing poorly in my classes. I started therapy around when my grades and stuff started dropping a lot more, and it's definitely helped. I have to keep working on not feeling ashamed of myself, like I'm not doing enough to get/do better, etc. though.
That was maybe tmi...sorry lol.
Me too... Hugs!
As someone who had/has to deal with both: Over time you learn to distinguish them. You just know when you are not depressed, but burned out. But you also learn to hear once the alarm bells start ringing when depression hits. At least to me it's so different. But the biggest differences are the selfesteem and the sleep parts. During depression I always have trouble sleeping. During times that are too stressful for my own good I only have this trouble on or before busy days. Once I have a day off I will sleep for 12+ hours. :))
if you aren't DIAGNOSED with depression.
sometimes, in some cases thinking that you are depressed will make you feel more sad.
and the cycle will continue
I might have just done that oops (but now I'm diagnosed with depression)
@@alizaaaa same your not alone 😔
I don't think i am depressed but I can't NOT be sad
to be honest, I hope when I do get to go to the doctor I'll be dignosed with depression. I don't know what's wrong with me and I would rather it be something known and slightly treatable then me just being crazy because then no one will believe me
i MIGHT have depression, but I keep telling myself that i don't, cuz it's impossible for a kid to be depressed, there's no reason for me to be depressed then two mins later barcode on my wrist and legs😁
I have persistent depressive disorder and have been pressured my entire life to push myself and overachieve. My therapist is proud because I am taking my 1st real break from school and it's my junior year of college (which I started taking classes in high school at 15, I'm now 20.) I'm hoping to break my pattern of chronic burnout and start loving school again when I go back in fall.
Good for you
Sorry to hear that I have depression anxiety and c-PTSD it might get better I'm in a cycle where when I'm not in a depressive state I'm burnout becuase I am happy to do work.
VIRTUAL HUGS TO EVERYONE WHO NEEDED
PLEASE STAY STRONG ❤
Depression is kind of an disease that comes and goes
Well said..it's part of us.
Yeah, I'll say. One day, I'm on cloud 9, the next, I'm so down in the dumps and not in the mood to do anything. It lasts for either a few weeks, or it doesn't pop up for weeks or even months at a time. At least, that's how it is for me.
@@Psych2go love the new art style. You guys never fail to surprise me
Exactly
mine startet when i was 5y/o (i am 17 y/o rn) and the depression still gets worse... there was no time i can remember when i was not
so not for everybody i guess
Idk if I have depression , anxiety or ADHD - and my mom keeps forgetting to book me a appointment for a test.
Maybe we should assume that as memory lost i guess :\
Hirap din kasi dito haha. Sana makaayos na ng proper appointment para sayo. Wish you well!

@@violet3430 thanks for the words of support! I really needed it.
@@freakypetal ofc!!
Burnout and depression are challenging to deal with when you're by yourself. To those who are dealing with it at the moment, this will pass. You're stronger than you think. Sending love 💗
💓
They don't lie when they say Depression is a killer. Having been suffering from Depression for almost 5 years there are certainly times where you feel things are getting back on track and you feel great! For it one day to all come tumbling down in front of you. That's whats happening to me right now and it sucks. Although small things such as writing this and expressing your feelings helps me personally learn and grow to hopefully one day get out of this slump. Your life can seem terrible but try to keep a positive perspective on life. Things will get better 🙏
Same story 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😩😩😩
@@hannahadhi940 thinks will look up! Keep a positive mindset and try not to look for the negatives first!
Same. Although I've been writing gratitudes for 3 years now and it helps starting my day on a positive note. Sometimes I write 10 things, but on days/weeks I struggle I find at least 1 thing to be grateful for even if it's coffee. I also use the same journal to write my struggles/rants and then step back. I pretend the struggle is happening to a friend and I give myself advice that I would to someone else. That has helped me quite a bit.
PS: I feel you on watching things "come tumbling down in front of you"... As I read it, my own emotions literally felt it. I get it
Tip: you will know who your friends really are when they would rather push you away and not be friends with you rather than help you in your time of need. That is toxic, selfish and the start to a long road of unhappiness that is best to get away from as soon as possible.
I love you all and I’m here for you all don’t let people treat you like a burden or a second choice 💛
@Kayyisa & Affan yes
How can you know that they're not struggling with their own problems?
@@teraspeXt right I see where you are coming from! you can’t help if they don’t tell you. communication is key. if they don’t want to talk anything out and push you away, then it becomes very hard to help them after you have tried but they keep pushing you away. we all struggle and we should all help each other out. from personal experience I have helped other friends when they are struggling but that help and support was never given back. If only one person is trying or only one cares, that’s when things get toxic and unhealthy in any kind of relationship. Thank you for your input! 💛
I don't know. Maybe I'm in a desparate need to find something else to blame for my incompetence.
Why's it every time I'm on this channel, I feel safe, heard, and understood. Yeah my body also starts to calm down and i feel less shivery. Thank you to the people behind this awesome channel.

Literallyyyyy

I really wanna to meet this people 😂😂
People who need help
This was so helpful! I've been really struggling the past few months but overall feel positive. I was so confused and thought maybe I was depressed but this explains it 🙏
First thank you for having this channel to help educate people!! I deal with depression and anxiety, among other things, but after watching a couple of your videos about emotional burnout some things I am currently dealing with make more sense now. I do already have a plan to take a stay home vaccation after I get my room completely finished, and I have already set some good boundaries, but a vaccation is needed, just wish I could do so at the beach. Still, I do think a good week of nothing except doing things just for myself is exactly what is needed and will help to reset and recharge. Again thank you for having this channel to help educate people! Dealing with mental illness isn't easy and when family and friends don't fully understand it only adds to the problem. It's not always easy to find info that is easy to understand for the average person who doesn't understand all the technical terms either, but your videos explain things in a simple and easy to understand manner plus you have some visual content that is very helpful as well! I hope many people will watch these videos and that the stigma of mental illness will soon disappear as well as the fear and people being bullied and/or made fun of and discriminated simply because they deal with mental illness. Thank you!
Great video. I know I and many people I know have struggled with some burnout recently, thought we're taking steps to recover. Great value
it's my first time travel :)))
burnout and depression are different things but burnout can lead to depression, which is what happened to me :(
I was burnt out while trying to prepare for a major exam last year and I think that was the trigger that caused me to become depressed. and now that the exam is over I'm just depressed and not burnt out anymore 😔
Time travel?? I am really confused.. how are some comments a week or even a month back, when this video was just uploaded.. 🤔
@@ipsitapriyadarshinipatra412 they r the ppl w premium feature
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful!♡
Since I saw someone say to consider yourself blessed if you have burnout- I wanted to say to *not* invalidate your problems because others have it worse. It's not worth it.
It’s Sunday and I haven’t really been in a good mood throughout the day...My teachers post their assignments tonight. I got my assignments and I’m stuck on some of the work and started getting really stressed out and upset. Your vids help me calm down a bit
In the words of John Malaney.... “tch....ooooh”
What if I get burnouts while having depression? Cause there are days where I have burnout but usually I have depressive tendencies as a constant
Aaaaand I get burn outs more often cause doing anything is a struggle. Like doing two assignments I get burnt out. Is that depression or am I just weak and lazy
Basically it feels like you cant do anything and your mental/emotional is detiriating its just Ahghghghgggggghhghgggggghghhhhhhhh its pain TwT
yes that’s exactly what I feel likeee and everyone tells me I’m just being lazy but I get so physically tired and unmotivated...

Plus **STRESSED**
Hey man i feel the same i hope you get the answer for this like.....i mean my default mode is sadness but even the smallest of things pushes me over the edge into apocalyptic mode...y'know what that means....plus the constant sadness doesn't go away even when I'm doing something I like. Moreover on an emotional understanding scale i kinda deteriorate as TIME passes by and that's that. I kinda feel numb onthe outside but in reality I'm like very emotional and i get irked too fadt and also get aggressive too fast and i can't like....even care about society and it's collapse anymore because i don't give a shit about it honestly....
I can relate so much. Mentally exhausting just because 1 assigments, like what the hell is wrong with me
In Belgium burnout is actually taken very seriously, even though it differs from depression. The health and social repercussions of burn out are as valid as a depression.
I’m in love with this style of art pls continue this
Thank you for the explanation. I've been wondering about the difference between those two. It's now easier to identify my problem and seek help online :)
I certainly display more depressive tendencies, with or without a reason, but I’m never at my worst without some kind of trigger.
I was just writing in my journal about how burnout has been getting the best of me.. and this video pops up..
Amazing to see that you're journaling!
this video is so well done, the graphics, the voiceover, the information, thank you so much 💓💓💓
Thank you so much!! i have been thinking that i got depression because i had anxiety and depersonalization symptoms
but this video all made sense and made me feel better :)
My bachelor’s degree is in Psychology so I thought I knew all this but the depersonalization really got me. I know I had been experiencing burnout, but this really opened my eyes.
Every January I feel like shit.
Same here
For me it's usually like November, December and January. Uk... Idk.
Seasonal depression: **laughing maniacally off in the distance**

I'm very intensly burned out right now, this video helped to see a way out, gave me hope that everything's gonna get better.
Send love to all of the people going through this, you're stronger than this, ily !!! 💕
Thank you so much for this. I honestly wasn’t sure what the differences were between the two and I think I lean more towards burnout. I’m about to finish law school (at 23 years old which is when most people start it) and I’ve been moving at such a quick pace that I think I have definitely burned myself out. I’m excited to take what I’ve learned from this video and go get a professional diagnosis!
I'm definitely burned OUT OUT
Sigh and this pandemic doesn't help
Me too, the depersonalization is a big one for me
I feel hopeless. Ive been diagnosed with depression in march 2021 and all my friends turned their backs on me. My parents are overwhelmed by my situation and always make me feel like i am the problem. So now im all alone, with these negative thoughts and as i'm writing this comment im just laying in my bed doing nothing, as usual. I cant find the motivation and energy to do something else since every little things i got to do needs a huge amout of energy. I cant take it anymore and i want to end it all
Edit : school and work are a nightmare too. My grades are awful and i think about dropping out of college and my job is 1h away from where i live and i'm usually late and sometimes i even dont go at all because i feel drained.
I found playing beat saber, touch the beat and thrill of the fight in vr helps my mood and lifts me up from the bed.
Going vegan, stopping caffeine, sugar and tabaco intake also helped a lot although it wasn't easy at first because of the addiction factor. I eat oatmeal when I get up, some non acidic fruits after some hours with some almonds, then a meal I do that has a a variety of beans, vegetables and herbs, that is done in a way that doesn't upset my stomach and is proteic also the base meal every day that does not change, the last meal I keep it light, full grain pasta or rice with avocado and black olives or something like that. Don't eat fruits with vegetables at the same time, try to use olive oil and avoid fried foods. Eating like this helps both the body and the mind. As I go to sleep sometimes I listen to a guided meditation called "the secret universal mind" on yt.
Depression has a cause so figure it out and try to change it or forget it. Some pills also give depression so look into that if you are on medication.
Sometimes life isn't fair and people aren't fair but staying true to yourself goes a long way for you and others. Doing these things will help you live better and longer and you can search for like-minded people if you want to, that you like and don't put you down. Stay well and take care.
I'm coming across this video now so super late to the party but this has been helpful. As you stress in your vids, it isn't professional help but you've added a perspective I've not gotten from counselling.
Burnout is a very real thing and to be frank, I'm about to go on leave following an elongated period without a break (trying for a promotion, getting it, then trying to prove and progress again)
It is nice to just hear it acknowledged that it even exists? Particularly throughout this year and a half where some of those activities (heck even a walk in a park near us) became stressful.
Keep going, you all kick butt! Great content you peeps kick butt!
Big thanks for this upload! Depression is devastating but we can crush it!
There are time travelers 0-0 I wish I could be one.. the earlier I see these videos the earlier I find help.
@Chaden Walke
Shhhh! Don't! Don't ruin the mystery. We still call them the Time Travelers.
I have been depressed for a very long time. In high school it got even worse than depression, but soon lowered once I moved schools. I’ve been taking the same pills for 11 years (since 5th grade), got off of one of them because it made me sooo drowsy and tired, but now I overthink everything and I cry a lot more than I used to. Good news is it doesn’t last very long. The other is supposed to help with my depression and focusing better, and I am scared to get off of it because I am in college and I need to graduate without any distractions. For the most part, I feel a little bit stressed once in awhile cause of college work, depending on how hard the work is. This video reminded me it’s ok to prioritize your hobbies, I will keep that in mind 🤍
Thank you. This is so important, especially right now
Not me being up for almost 24 hours yesterday leading to a huge flare up followed by depression and then this showing up in my recommendations!! This was reassuring and helpful to discern between the two. There is hope!!
CZcams recommendations are getting more and more personal by the second.
It's definitely burnout and I knew before even watching this, and I have to say BOY is it a relief entering my next semester of highschool. In which I finished some of the classes that were causing my burnout and I'm now in better, easier classes.
Moral of the story, it won't last forever! You'll eventually get through the tough times and/or find a way to manage.
I remember when I was a subscriber since 3mil. It was nice to see you guys grow and expand, reaching more people around the media. :)
U have no idea how much this helped. Thank u.
Sending love to everyone because you are WORTHY! 💕
Wonder if depression is just the burnout on life 🤔
Let's discussed that below :)

Nice! Combining these two makes for a day in my world!
So well explained. And I love the drawings. Great job! Thank you.
I guess I get burnout without even pushing myself and thats why I feel like I have depression cuz I cant even try to the extent I could earlier.Also the lifestyle changes when implemented help me feel better instantly but after a week or two of normal functioning I start weeping out of the blue and lose any motivation to continue the changes for no reason🤷
Question:
Are suicidal thoughts part of the "worthlessness"?
It sure happens oftenly on my end.
This helped me realize what i have been going through a lot the past year and a half, so thank you
I’m recovering from a burnout that became a depression a few months ago. It was a terrible episode, I was perceiving everything negatively and I couldn’t even play a single song that cheer me up.
I know I’ve been better but at least I feel interest again - I’m not saying that I’m energised enough to resume my multiple activities, though. I’m giving my mind and body some rest and I’m sure I’ll be totally functional in a few weeks or months.
Good company and talking about it have been fundamental for me in this process. I’ve had to cry with people I’m not close friends with but I’m so thankful for their listening because not everyone cares.
I hope everyone is safe and well out there.
honestly, i dont prefer counselors because they always gonna give advice like "u should have enough sleep, making some friends, and force us to continue doing what 'they think good for us' without considering how painful the situation for us to bear.
therapists are good at least the one I used to go to
I’ve always had low self-esteem due to being an only child with an overprotective parents while growing up so my social skills = very rusty. I’ve been feeling overwhelming stress for the last couple of yrs to a point where I had to go to a therapist but I just didn’t think it helped me much.. until I talked to a psychologist about what I am feeling every time I had episodes of stress and said I was having panic attacks.. I kinda felt like I was going through depression but I’m not sure, or anxiety or just simply stress.. or burnout like in this video but i felt like it sucked the soul out of me, left me with tons of health issues and probably aged me up bout 5yrs or so.
i’ve been thinking about this for the past few days. it feels like youre listening to me without me talking to you. thank you.
You are so welcome!! We hope this video gives you more insightful on the subject!
I adore all the animations that’s in here, really helps to visualise. Thanks! Alex Pacheco☺️
I finished the video feeling even more confused. I do have depression, but I also survived COVID-19, which caused some trauma, lost my grandmother a week after I recovered, and my mother had a heart attack on top of everything else the pandemic has done to people’s mental states. I can’t even tell if depression or circumstance is the main cause of anything anymore.
I feel you ❤️that’s how it also can be for people who have busier or more complicated lives, to understand if it’s the circumstances or the depression. It can be both, playing off of each other, but it is never your fault. I’m sorry you have been through so much in a short time over this pandemic. It can be super confusing, but always ask those questions and maybe, find someone who understands and can listen to your feelings. Doesn’t have to be a therapist, but being able to vocally process those feelings might bring some clarity or comfort, at the least.
I cant tell if im depressed or just burnt out
It seemed like things got way better once i had to do online school, as going to physical school was a huge stressor for me, and as soon as i started going back on campus everything seemed worse again, but at the same time i still felt like shit, my self esteem was still very low, and i still constantly believe that im not good enough for anyone, i feel hated by my family and my friends even though I know im not, I can’t even get out of bed most times and i just get yelled at for being lazy, nobody realizes just how hard im trying to get through my day-to-day life, it feels like im being crushed
Very helpful. Thank you for distinguishing the two!
Thank u for defining the difference. I thought it was depression but its emotional exhaustion. I needed this clarification to better understand wut I was dealing with/looking at.
i have a mix of burnout and a bit of depression-
When you're already clinically depressed, but then something happens and causes you to burnout, so then you have to deal with both.
Is it possible for people to develop some form of depression (not in a linear manner, of course, but rather suddenly and intensely because the last straw was had) if they get burnt out too many times without sufficient support and encouragement from their environment?
I would explain it like that my clinical depression causes me to have much less energy, which leads to burning out easily. Currently I have less signs of a full depression, no sadness or negative thoughts, but I'm still slowed down and out of energy like trough a burn out.
You may get a depressive episode, like just after a traumatic event, but it depends on oneself's resilience to overcome over time. Depression can be developed or it can be endogenous (your brain lacks on chemicals to function 'normal'). A depressive episode, untreated or misunderstood can become chronic after a few years because your brain is suffering so much so often that your self recovery habilites cannot deal with all.
It is always recommended to look for both psychiatric and psychological advise to deal with all the factors involved.
I hope I have been able to explain myself a bit, English is not my mother language so I may not be using the best words for it.
Yeah. Happens a lot with untreated ADHD, as people with ADHD inherently struggle with both productivity and pacing/rest. Because the stressor affects every single aspect of their life and it can't be removed until they start treating that ADHD, they're basically permanently in burnout. Which is already indistinguishable from depression functionally, but can also cause proper depression that needs to be treated separately after the ADHD is made manageable.
As someone who has suffered from both depression and burn out, not at the same time, thank goodness! 😅 These points are very helpful for those who often confuse the two. Much ❤. Will definitely recommend your channel👍🏻
Oh Danm I think I was depressed when I was young all the way to maybe to last year. I was “always happy” smiling, laughing, dancing, singing, making jokes, etc. But deep inside my heart every time I did all of them I could feel pain and emptiness. Never was happy doing anything no passion even if I felt I did. Joined clubs for distractions but all I felt was disconnected to the world. Even with my closest friends. Last year around December I had spark of happiness and true passion, love and energy. Today I feel so much love for myself. I am actually for once in my life looking forward for the future. I just hope it stays like this because I’m happy.
I secretly wish this is just burnout, i cant afford theraphy at all
Burnout is a condition that should be treated as well. Burnout is not less harmful!!
Summary for the future people:
1. Depression is a mental disorder 1:15
2. Depression is more general 2:04
3. Depression doesn't always have a trigger 2:41
4. Depression erodes your self esteem 3:08
5. Depersonalization is common in burnout 3:45
6. Burnout develops in stages 4:22
7. Burnout is easier to treat 5:00
Thanks! c:
Thank you Time Traveller! :0
Thanks for putting this together K.T :)
❤️👍
ur...so fast...
I cannot express how much I love this channel
i've had both, caused by extreme stress. It costed me 2 years of my life but i'm glad to say i got over the depression and also mostly over the burnout. I still have stress and i still have periods where i experience anxiety attacks, isolate myself because i need to recharge, or am not motivated enough to even awnser simple texts. But, i'm getting so much better. I got over it by myself, i had therapy for a brief period of time but it didn't work because my burnout & depression were caused by a stressful situation at home. Naturally as the situation got better, i found more rest, and with that little bit of energy i got to work on my depression too. It was a long struggle but to the people who experience this too, you can get out and feel alive once again
Is there a possibility to suffer from depression and burnout at the same time?
Like a depression, that is kind of fueled or maximized by extreme stress?
Its called fucked.
Getting burned out is depressing either way
Once again...beautifully done !!!....Know people with these 'traits' ...Thanks for separating the two of them !!!!
This is important video for me. I thought I was going through burnout after my PhD. thesis defense, but it turned out to be severe depression. I am glad I seeked medical help.
"Which one are you?"
Me: Both :(
Can someone have burnout and depression at the same time??
I have had MD my whole life. Recently diagnosed with burnout/possibly adrenal fatigue and still have MD.
Yes its possible
Thank you so much for helping us and sending information ❤️
You're channel is awesome and informative please keep making such amazing videos!
Time travel is actually pretty fun you guys should try it
i refuse to talk to a therapist. i cant do it, i don’t care if it “helps me to talk about my feelings” it doesn’t. i hate talking about them, it worsens things for me and i have severe trust issues. it sucks.
Well i know this advice is probably going to suck but if you don't get past certain parts of your emotions and pain, it'll just get worse (no offense) if you can't or don't want to talk to a therapist, that's fine, in a lot of my experiences, therapists can make things worse, so I suggest trying to trust yourself at first, write in a journal that you keep close to you at all times so nobody but you can read it about how you feel and reflect on why you think or know you feel that way. The basic idea is work on yourself if you don't or can't trust others, trust issues can really suck but you gotta learn how to trust yourself before you can trust others (at least in my experience) and sorry if me mentioning anything about emotions irritates you, I'm only tryna give some advice as someone who has had several severe emotional issues and trust issues, also I hope you have a good day!
@@Zcythe_grey i just saw this now omg, and ty
@@rileyshea4976 Well I hope things get better, because life can really be hard to deal with but it's manageable if you work on yourself before others, I hope you have a good day
@@Zcythe_grey you too!
I rly like this yt channel. Y all expain it so well. Also i find the voice very calming
Since i cant find a therapist in my town that actually wants to work, i have to rely on your videos. But they are helping, so it saves me money😊
