Hi Demi. I understand where you’re coming from. In my experience with burnout, I’ve realized it often comes for one primary reason: forgetting the why.
Why we started our channels, why we spend time coming up with topics and selecting fragrances to share, why we sit in front of a camera and allow ourselves to be vulnerable for strangers, why we interact with viewers, brands, and other industry entities...it’s so easy to get wrapped up in the status of maintaining our image in this strange world, so much so that we forget to remember why we’re even doing it.
We are greater than what we do. And we don’t have to define ourselves by it. I have to remind myself of this weekly.
One small habit I’ve tried to be intentional about in order to avoid further burnout is to be very careful and mindful of my input. The information we allow into our mindspace, and the association we surround ourselves with, can have dangerous effects on our outlook if they are not positive.
This beautiful passion for fragrances can simply be overwhelming. Unfortunately, high consumerism and extreme selfishness are somewhat woven into the fabric. The nature of this space leans in the direction of people acquiring more than they need, and being most concerned with their own experience and satisfaction. I’ve learned that we are happiest when we are giving and growing.
Sorry for the essay. Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest. I hope you find your way out of this funk as soon as possible. ✨
Hey Justin,
I truly appreciate your perspective…thank you. I definitely resonate with everything you said! You’re awesome. Thank you ❤
@@demirawlingso u only answer to a fellow CZcamsr smh.. so many positive feed back from regular subscribers and no response smh
@@wach1722behave yourself
@@wach1722when I was burned out I didn’t have energy to answer even family members
@@wach1722 There are literally hundreds of comments on this video and she has replied to several of them. She is going thru a lot at the moment and you're just adding more negativity. Don't be a douche.
I am going through burnout & other problems. It is hard! It is very brave of you to share. Please take care of yourself, no need to feel bad or guilty, it is all fine. Be kind to yourself. It's very good that you recognized it & are addressing it. Don't feel pressured to post regularly. I hope you get access to a therapist, this has helped many people tremendously.
What you describe is very relevant & common with burnout. Not to dismiss your feelings & experiences, but to validate them & let you know you are not alone. I've also been doing all the techniques you're mentioning & more. You observed it absolutely spot on - less/no pleasure in things, feeling numb, no focus, no energy, and the helping techniques work one day & absolutely not working another day. And there's a no catch all formula of things to do, it is different for everyone and different things work at different times.
Sending you hugs or sitting quietly nearby if that's what's better now. You're not alone.
PS if anyone notices similar symptoms or going through it now & it's tough I'm open to answer questions & offer support, we can make internet work for us & support each other.
Burn out is such a real thing.. it literally is a feeling of not being able to put your finger on but always feeling down. I’m sending happy positive vibes 💕
For real. I love you! Thank you for supporting me ❤
@@demirawling hi Demi, I hope you read this about 10 years ago. I started having anxiety attacks for no reason and feeling really anxious and depressed and it just kept getting worse and nothing was wrong in my life so I didn't understand why it was happening I kept seeing ads for transcendental meditation and I was just desperate to feel better so I went and took a class. It was four days in a row they taught you how to say a word that means nothing and how to get your brain to go down into the silent abyss, I took it very quickly and it was a game changer for me life-changing I went into my first meditation, and I never had an anxiety attack again and when you come out of the meditation you feel like you took a 10 hour nap you go into this place you can hear what's going on around you, but you feel like you're floating and on the most wonderful drug of calming soothing thoughts float by and just leave never finishing and when you pop out of it, you feel amazing after two weeks of doing it consistently I noticed when I was driving in the car I wasn't having a erratic thoughts negative thoughts about my childhood negative thoughts about people I was just listening to music and enjoying myself. I highly recommend you check it out, it's such an amazing tool that I wish I learned in my 20s now 56. I can't express to you enough how much it will serve you in your life.
❤feel better soon..well be here when u r ready
hope your ok x@@demirawling
I am a psychologist andm noticed recently that a lot of my patients complain about feeling burnt out. It`s definitely a real thing and it is getting more common. Which makes me wonder if it`s connected to the pandemic and the aftermath, where people feel like they have to make up for lost time, work twice as much and juggle relationships, exercise and travelling all at the same time. I think it`s amazing that you are still working out to take care of your health eventhough you`re not enjoying it. From experience I would ask you to listen to your body though. Mind and body are connected and if either your body or your mind is telling you to rest , please do! Working out can be helpful for both your physical as well as your mental health but if you feel such a strong aversion , there is probably a reason for it. I also think it might be helpful to schedule some set times for yourself, when you can spend time on your own. As a fellow introvert I can relate to how it helps to recharge. Please don`t see it as being selfish ! It isn`t ! It`s necessary! I hope you feel better soon. Sending you all the love!
That’s really interesting!! I really appreciate your comment and feedback regarding the topic. Very insightful…thank you ❤❤❤
Research sun flares
People all around the world are arbitrarily feeling these disconnects. From family, relationships, jobs etc. In the spiritual community, it's called Dark night of the soul. Professionally, it probably does not align with your paradigm, but I can promise you it's a real thing and can't be treated with traditional practices. It has to run its course, and it has to be recognized. It's literally a vibrational shift within the person.
It’s really tough to go through this . I’ve been there several times. I hope this passes soon. ❤❤❤
I suggest you should go to the psychiatry....
For someone so young, you actually have it SO together so give yourself a massive well deserved and much needed hug and know that you have inspired someone more than double your age from Canada who NEEDED to see this video today and can relate to it on SO many levels. Thanks for your passionate guidance re perfume at the very least and your honesty about everything you shared. Believe it or not, being a singer, this gives me more courage to put myself out there more in a technologically foreboding world. It’s not easy and can be a slog but it’s worth it. Keep the passion and honesty coming and take time for yourself as you are a gift! Thank you 🙏.
Dear Demi,
Much of what you report reminds me of my own ordeal. I had my hormone status measured last year and it was found that I have luteal insufficiency - i.e. a progesterone deficiency. I had depression, no drive, everything felt forced. I can only recommend it to you. I was given capsules with progesterone (bioidentical) 3 months ago and I am a new person, or rather the old new me :-)
Sometimes you also need distance from social media and healing contact with people who are good for you. Free yourself from toxic contacts. Do NOTHING for one or two days a week. I also prefer to recharge my batteries alone, so I can relate. If you have something, talk about it. Or write down your feelings. Reflect on yourself.
I wish you all the best and love! Feel hugged.
Warmest greetings from Germany,
Nadine
I was just about to get on here and type the exact same thing!!!! Demi, please get your hormones checked. I went through the exact same ordeal. Be patient with yourself and be encouraged. Help is on the way!
You’re so right! I got my hormones tested recently and the results were not good! I didn’t mention it in the video but i recently got diagnosed with PCOS. I have very low estrogen levels which could be related to my issues. Any advice on the next steps would be amazing ❤
@@demirawling THAT IS IT! So find comfort in knowing that this is the cause of how you’re feeling. So now it’s time to educate yourself on PCOS and how to manage your symptoms. I don’t have PCOS but I know there’s a lot of literature and videos out there on the topic!
@demirawling Definitely also have your nutrient levels checked. If you're not absorbing or getting enough of something, it can definitely affect your mood and hormone production.
Also, you should look into things that can throw your hormone levels off such as taking certain birth controls. Another thing that can throw hormone levels off is what we consume such as bottled water. For instance the BPA in bottled water. I don't know how it affects women, but as a man, drinking bottled water can halve our testosterone production for over 24 hours.
I wish you all of the best. I love your content and hope you get better soon.
@@demirawling Regarding PCO syndrome, I have this report that I can share with you:
"The gynecologist will ask about the medical history, perform a physical exam including assessment of the skin and body hair, and perform an ultrasound of the ovaries. In order to determine the hormone status and rule out diseases of the pituitary gland and adrenal gland, extensive blood tests are necessary: for male hormones, female (cycle) hormones and the anti-Müllerian hormone, which is often elevated in those affected. Because PCO syndrome is associated with more profound metabolic changes, blood lipid levels are also determined and a glucose tolerance test (oGTT) is carried out if necessary. A thyroid hormone test is also recommended, as around one in three people affected also suffer from an autoimmune thyroid disease known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis."
It will take time, but it will be good. ❤️
Same. I feel really down, at the start of every new year. Thank you for sharing this & I hope things get better ..for all of us💜
Hi, Demi. It’s so nice to see you. You have such a bright ☀️ presence despite your current state of mind. Appreciate your raw honesty. It sounds like you might be experiencing some anhedonia ☁️ - a dip in motivation and pleasure. You identified that listening to more music may be uplifting. And you’re open to setting clearer boundaries and structure with your work since there is so much fluidity between your personal and professional realms. Similar to past lower mood times, you will pull through this and you seem to already be feeling better and heading in the right direction. Wishing you much wellness in 2024 and thanks for pushing through this video. It took effort and strength to endure. You smiled more and more as you shared your gratitude for your partner as well as your solo time. Enjoyed hearing about your scent projects and passion for perfume. Look at how you light up when your talk about the Amouage Love Delight! 💕💕💕💕💕
If you haven't already, I would also look into getting blood work done, like getting levels checked, including cortisol levels just to make sure there isn't an underlying reason for feeling drained. I am suggesting this from my own personal experience.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes, such a wonderful verse to meditate on.. 🎉
Yes, all is meaningless without the hope of Christ in your life. I know there are many out there that do not believe , but just seek and you will find Knock and the door will be opened unto you. Christ wants to come In. I pray She finds her way.
ABSOLUTELY
❤
Cringe!
Demi, your videos got me into fragrances and actually helped with my own ptsd and depression. Sharing your passion invigorated me and helped me find joy and something to be excited about again. I lm sure you have, but make sure you get your hormones and thyroid tested. Also if you can make it work, consider a solo break somewhere. I went on a two week solo holiday to New Zealand (on a tour) and it helped me tremendously because I didn’t have responsibilities to anyone but myself. I could be anyone I wanted and it was amazing.
Welcome back, dearest Demi, I've missed you! Burnout is so real, something I experience every year starting September as a lifestyle journalist, when every single brand wants to promote their holiday collection or new restaurant menu. People think it's so glam but they don't realize how much hard work it is to attend events and constantly live under a deadline. So I can totally relate! My solution is to go into hermit mode. Until now I'm not saying yes to any events unless I'm really interested in what they're promoting. Seems to be working... I feel much more rested and less stressed now.
Regarding topics for videos, I dance for exercise and love your story about dancing around the apartment when Pierre's not there, lol! This is kind of a crazy idea for content but which fragrances make you feel like dancing, are dance-related (like Tango or La Perla's Let the Dance Begin), and would be perfect to wear to go out dancing, whether as a couple or a group? Would love to see that! Sending warm wishes and tight hugs!
💝💖💓
As a former mental health counselor, I can say that the fact that you recognize how you’re feeling and you “hate” it, indicates to me that you don’t have true mental health issues. Normally, people that are mentally ill do not and cannot recognize their own issues.
I have two suggestions that may help you to press through to the other side of your current state:
1. Make it a point to rest…not just sleep, but rest…turn off the world, limit your social media time and literally unplug.
2. Exercise your spirituality. If you believe in a higher power, pray and seek guidance.
Above all else, know that this is totally normal…it will pass in time and you will find yourself again soon.
🙏
Hi Demi, I have been watching you for a while and love seeing your content. I want you to know that I have been in a terrible dark place. I actually went through a brutal divorce which was emotionally devastating. Depression, anxiety and debilitating panic attacks. That was over 10 years ago. The one thing that brought me out of that place was giving my life back to Jesus. I don’t know where you are spiritually but there is hope in Him. Just speak to Him with your heart and I promise He will hear you! Much love to you!🙏🏻💗
2:05 totally get it. Been working 65-80 hours a week and it feels like having a headache constantly, without the actual head pain. Just completely down. Everything is a chore, nothing's fun, it's very lonely and my fuse is extremely short. Some of it's burn out and some of it is PTSD. It's a very bad combination to have to live through day-to-day. Fragrances have been making me somewhat happy because I've been trying new ones and watching your channel, Erica's channel, and Curly's channel. And Gentscents. I should be saving money and paying debt, but the little rewards like buying fragrances seems like a necessary treat.
It is great to see you back Demi. I really found your candor and honesty to be very refreshing. You are a very real person which I think most people sensed from the beginning. This is one of the qualities that always made me trust your reviews. In addition to that you have great taste in perfume and also have a heartfelt way of describing the fragrances that you recommend. You're the best in my book!
I've had the same thing happen while enduring similar circumstances and what you need to do is to switch your focus completely to something else for a few hours or a few days. Things that have helped.....working out to the point of pushing yourself more than before. So, rather than keep doing Pilates, switch to something totally different like weights for a bit. Monotony is the enemy of creativity so you have to change everything else to increase mental stimulation. Another thing that may help is to focus on a hobby or something that gets you very mentally engaged. Perhaps trying a new book......or taking a class in something you've never done before.....like comedy or drama (which can sharpen skills relevant to your channel). Time to switch things up drastically. Routine is very difficult on creative people. Hope it helps.
Prayers to you Demi🙏 I always enjoy your content!
Unfortunately it's usual for a Cancer sign being in depression😔
Demi all perfumes are scentless without you ❤ please take care of your beautiful self ❤
Praying for you 🙏. You can get through this.
Demi, it's so nice to see you again😊 I would be happy to see a video that fits the topic: What perfume do you wear to improve your mood or calm you down?

I think there are lots of us that have been going through similar lately. I was feeling like you described last year.
Hope you feel better soon Demi! 🤞
I'm glad the raffle is back on Sniff 😁
been feeling the same. You are a bright light and your videos served as a positive outlet when I was going through a tough time. I’ll be praying for you
Hi Demi ❤ What you’re going through sounds exactly what I went through about 6 years ago. I was numb, didn’t care about anything or anyone, and was frustrated with life in general.
If I can give you one piece of advice is “gratitude” It’s going to sounds crazy because you might think “how can I be grateful when I’m just so exhausted with it all”
It changed me ❤ Try to notice the little things. A little bird, the wind on your skin, the rain, anything. And write down daily 3 things you’re grateful for and mediate that’s the key. Take the time to focus and mediate on these things. Your mindset will shift. It’ll take a little time but I’m positive this will help ❤
😢❤ One of my favourite CZcamsr fragrance personnel. Always love your suggestions.
Hope things get better with you
As a mother from a child with autism i thought the same today i feel so burned out
hope you are reaching out for help/support 🤗💛🦋
This is a very vulnerable video, so salute to you, Demi!
Life is hard and climbing out of a dark place is eveb that much more difficult.
The advice I'd give you is while you're doing the things that are good for you and that bring you joy, do your best to be present-- not thinking about work, or what you didnt do, what you have to do or how you could be better or anything else, especially negative things.
Another thing id tell you is, chase Joy. Just like sadness, happiness is temporary.
Ill leave you with a quote: "Self Restraing & Self Discipline leads to Self Respect which leads to Self Confidence"
Much Love & Many Blessing💪🏾
2:25 advice. Im 40 years old and i get this. Its dissociation. It comes from trauma. When we went theough this as a child or an event was traumatizing, our mind had to help us cooe to get tbrough it. So, i would bet something bappened or you're afraid of something. Maybe you were feeling so good and then a hiccup happened in your life and hour body and mind checked out because it was preparing for something bad fo happen. I HIGHLY recommend looking for a highly trained trauma therapist who specializes in "internal family systems" therapy and it certified in EMDR. You can learn how to be present in your body again. I have been there. I go there often. You seem a lot better and i am really appriciating seeing this side of you. Mental health is so important to talk about. I know it can be a scary subject but, you're doing exactly the right thing ❤
I also love when my husband is out, and I clean the house, listen to music,dance, sing them out loud, do haircare, skincare, face masks, light candles, eat my favorite snacks and watch romcoms with my cats 🥰 don’t feel bad and silly, that’s perfectly normal
I love you!!!! It’s the best feeling ever hahaha ❤
What has helped me throughout the hardships in my life was building a relationship with GOD. I’m not saying you need to go to church or get into religion or any of that. All I’m trying to say to you is talk/communicate with GOD and put your FAITH in him. Trust me, your prayers will not go unheard, it has helped me spiritually. I will keep you in my daily prayers and may GOD bring joy, peace and tranquility in your heart and soul 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing your difficulties on CZcams. It makes you real and relatable. I have a Master's Degree in Counselling (though I'm happily retired). I have to say I am impressed with all that you are doing to work through what you describe as burnout and I see many good suggestions from other viewers.
I so understand what you are saying. I had a terrible down before the pandemic. I was in therapy, and had a daily journal task of listing 3-5 good things that happened that day. I was in a negative mental space, appreciating the small victories helped me put my head down at the end of the day. Opening the day with appreciation, and trying to think of all of the small victories of the morning. I actually got out of the funk because of the pandemic, because I stopped feeling guilt, and started to be able to dream and imagine, understand that I was becoming a different person. Best of luck in Dubai!
Hi beautiful! First of all I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. I have been through something similar. Mine was brought on by grief. I just want to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you. He is truly the key to happiness. All the things of this world will pass away but HE is eternal. I encourage you to pray and ask God to help you and give you the peace you’re searching for. I am a cancer survivor and let me tell you the only way I am still able to hold my head up is because my strength is found in him. Even if you never have sought out Christ, I encourage you. He is here and he will change your life. I truly send this message with love. His grace is sufficient. His mercies are new everyday! ❤❤❤
I think life is hard when I don't have hope. I have to really focus on being thankful and giving God praise for everything in my life, the good and the bad in order to keep my reserve full and available when I am down. If I don't have hope in Him, I have this dismal abyss of being lost and alone. Jesus keeps me up when Im down. He gives me peace when Im a mess and I cant do it anymore. The thought that there is something more, bigger than me, a plan for me, something I cant do on my own, keeps me in a better place mentally. When I trust in Him and have faith in Him it takes the load off of me. and I am thankful for that.
Amen! All things work together for you good, Demi ❤
Sending prayers your way
I LOVE your vids Demi!! Sending LOTS of LOVE & POSITIVITY your way!! 💛🙏🏽
Journaling helped me so much when I was going through and I gave myself permission to be as negative and as honest as possible. It is your journal so no one has to see it and it is better to get it out than to hold it in. Then when you go back and read it again, think of a positive to replace those feelings. It may seem negative at first but as you keep it up and reflect back you will realize that those negative days will be easier to manage. Good luck and wishing the best.
Happy new year, demi 🎉🎊
Happy new year to you too 🥰❤️
I’ve been alcohol free for 4 years. I worked a program and my whole world flipped. Service work and a spiritual connection changed everything for me and I’ve never been more fulfilled and content. I know you will find your path to purpose and wholeness. Keep an open heart and invite in the guidance you need. Lots of love.
Hi Demi, praying for healing and that you have a great 2024 🙏🏽
I'm dealing with burnout, too. Give yourself time, take a break, allow yourself to rest - really rest.
OMG, Demi.. I have been feeling the same way. I have been feeling bitter, angry, and judgmental, and I find myself asking why because that's not me. I need to go to the gym and workout to get some endorphins and hopefully begin to feel better. Thank you for your courage to speak out and for being so transparent about your feelings. It's encouraging to hear that even people you feel are successful and have the "perfect" life, at the end of the day, are human and face the same challenges as the average person. 🙏 for you to feel better soon!
I can relate to your feelings. I hope you feel better quickly.❤
Hi wonderful Demi! I sooooo feel you! Please know that you are not alone. I am 10 years older (approx) and I have been where you are. Please know that we need to learn the art of being Loving and Gentle with ourselves... REally. Just like sleep and drining enough water, we dont just need to know we "need to" do it, we actually NEED TO do it. Sending you positive energies!
Thanks for your honesty! I can certainly relate! Check what's really motivating your heart! Your motives are crucial. Take care!
Maybe you are suffering from winter blues or soft depression? Seek medical professional check your mental health hygiene , no judgements no stigma 😢so sorry and kudos to your bravery posting your situation candidly online ❤
She's seeked medical professional advice already
She's in Dubai. It's hot there.
@@nicolesprocess winter blues is a term meaning it’s dark feeling , feeling cold inside the mind.
Have you tried journaling? Writing things down can help process and release different thoughts, and ideas. Definitely keep exercising, endorphins are a good thing. It’s ok to take a break, stay healthy.
In decembar 2023 My Everything in this Life My MOM PASSED AWAY she leave me alone with no one with debt , and i have been goin in Biggest Depresion of My Life , i was so sad so burnt out so f.. empty , but i have a force to stand and start to conect to a little things who make me happy , i follow u from start and i see a happines in your energy face eyes and everything in your fragrances videos , you are lucky you have followers , you have love of your life , you have a good life standard ,you are beautiful and i wish you all of that in all of your life , please keep start and conect to all the positive things that you have in your life , i love u and your contents and your opionon my love for Fragrance come from you , and in every video you post you make me happy when i watch it , and i loveeeeee to see you healthy and happy ,and i know you through your videos that you have a Force and Power to stand everything bad things you are a very strong Girl , i wish you the best of the best in this life , a good health and happines in your life , Greetings from KOSOVO ❤
You are beautiful no matter what happens. Keep your head up and put one foot in front the other. Though it may be hard you can make it. Love from Maryland, USA.
I know the feeling so well. Activities I used to enjoy are no longer something I wanna do. I feel like there is a brain fog which keeps me stuck in a routine and feeling numb to so many things. I tend to find the only way I can make myself feel my best is when I'm somewhere like the coast, where I feel I can connect to the world again.
You need to do the same, find that one place that really puts a smile on your face and try and get there to spend a bit of alone time. You'll definitely get there, like I will, so stay positive and manifest the happy days ahead.
Lots of love ❤
Youre spot on about relationships. Youve found a great guy!
I get bloodwork done every 6 months just to stay on top of any anomalies. Also when I feel numb, I remind myself of the single parent working 7/11 for 12 hours a day trying to put food on the table. So for me, it’s a combo of PERSPECTIVE and making sure I’m not deficient in anything in my blood stream.
One last thing… hobbies that focus on the worldly, always in the end drag into depression. I collect perfumes as well and ultimately it always ends in … well this thing is just material and life is finite and what is the point…
I found the only true happiness and fulfillment in my spiritual journey with God and Jesus. It gives me the perspective to let go of the material and realize time on earth is an immeasurably small fraction of our existence.
Beauty will fade. Can’t find your value in that.
Money and materialism has limited value on earth and zero value to the soul. Can’t find your value in that.
Your value is in God’s love for you and his eternal plan.
Much love and please think about the above.
Not to be an armchair psychologist but what you are describing sounds a lot like clinical or major depression not burnout. People with ADHD also experience it at higher rates. Take care of yourself.
There are shifts happening in the world external to all of us too. I have been the same and it's quite disturbing and I do plan on going to the dr just to make sure but lots of naps, nutrients, breathing and then be aware that you are also feeling external forces.
I can relate... Thank you for sharing, Demi ❤
Love you ❤
Demi Darlin
PLEASE 🙏🏼 seek God he is the only one who will get you through it. Trust me! I’ve been there. I tried everything you just mentioned. Then I started having really bad thoughts and it scared me. My doctor put me on medication and things got worse.
I finally ran into a friend and she led me to Jesus and I did seek him. I started to feel better and eventually got better. I love life and my life feels whole.
I will be praying for you I know that God will be the only need the one to get you through it.
Love you, God Loves you and he is waiting for you to seek him.
Thissss. ❤❤
Such a beautiful comment, and it’s the truth, We cannot live our lives without him, we were intended to have a relationship with HIM. So with him are all things are possible. Also there are chemical imbalances, I had testing done to see what and why this happens. So understanding helps. Hormones are alot of the culprits. Sometimes an easy fix.. God bless and keep you..❤
Have you tried taking a long vacation to maybe the Caribbean? Might need a nice reset at an all inclusive resort
Omg I wish!! I’m too much of a workaholic to do that though 😅😂
Demi if only you knew how deeply this resonated with me, and at the exact time I felt it strongest.
Thank you for sharing. I have felt everything you describe. I got an accountability coach to help with exercise and diet. I did some classes with a life coach. And now I’m looking into a virtual organization coach. I also learned I had very low iron. I listen to mel robbins and other podcasts that share easy practical action steps. I wish you nothing but the best and just sharing this is brave and an immense thing ❤
1. Take regular breaks. 2. IF YOU OVERWORK YOU INCREASE CHANCES OF BURNT-OUT SO FINISH ON TIME. 3. EAT HEALTHILY. 4.GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP. 5. EXERCISE REGULARY. REFRAME FROM UNHELPFUL THOUGHTS. 7. LEARN TO DELEGATE. BEWARE OF SIGNS TO PREVENT IT.
Thank you for being vulnerable, and explaining clearly. This is not going to cheer you up but I had a nervous breakdown and I feel numb all the time. However all my mental health problems are not the same as yours. Feeling burnt out is not unfamiliar. It is easy for me to be exhausted mentally. I have similar thoughts in being negative which can cause unhappiness, depression and lack of motivation. Heart goes out to you! Mental health problems doesn't make you any less of a person compared to others or your ideal-self.
I don’t know what you believe in, but just talk to God, I’m sure with the way that you feel he’s just trying to get you to run closer to him!
Sending much love to you Demi and praying things get better for you. The fact that you are able to recognize the things that you don’t like that’s happening in your life right now is the first step. Thank you so much for Sniff. I can’t tell you how much I go to the app to get information on so many perfumes. ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for what you are going through!! It’s wonderful that you have a psychiatrist and you’ve been getting help mentally, but perhaps it’s not a mental issue. There are many physical issues that could be causing your depression/feelings of burnout, or it could be a combination. Maybe set an appointment with your general practitioner, and speak with them about what you’re going through. They may want to run test to see if there’s something physical causing it. Good luck and I pray you find the solution to your burnout, and other symptoms. God bless!!!
Honestly? Meds are what did it for me. That being said, I have full on depression but at the same time finding the right meds helped me come out of the numb and have the energy to do the bigger things that push me in the right direction. I will say it sounds like a depressive episode if you’re feeling burned out on life and usually episodic depression means the episodes get deeper and longer over time. Never a bad idea to get some bloodwork done as well! Many things (anemia, thyroid, hormonal imbalances, etc) can have a symptom of depression. Hope you feel better soon, I know how awful it feels and I can’t imagine how hard it must be with people probably being like “but so many others have it worse” (which then just makes you feel worse because you feel like you have no right to feel depressed).
Great comment ❤
Depression isn’t always mental or chemical , talk to your spiritual leader. Volunteer in your community. Focus on solving others problems, and see how fast God solves yours 😊 Peace and blessings
Hey Demi, I know exactly how it feels, I’m super introspective and feel down often, for no reason really, maybe just that life isn’t exactly how I imagined it but I have absolutely nothing to complain about because I have almost everything I could ever ask for (within reason) but I haven’t watched a fragrance video in about a year because I was just getting bored with it and felt like I needed to switch gears and I did. I bought two new Harley’s and a bunch of drum stuff I’ve been putting off. I’ve been putting most of my energy into music lately and it’s awesome lol. I’ve found it’s stimulation that I need… less redundancy and set goals. It helps to declutter also. I know I’ll never be super happy but at least I know what helps me stay positive. Idk if this helps but just wanted to share ✌🏼
Diet plays a massive role in overall mental health, vitamin deficiencies, electrolytes, etc. I’m not fully sure what you’re putting into your body but from the few IG posts I’ve seen, it looked more plant based/vegan. Veganism leads to about a 60% increase in depression and other mental health conditions as it leads to a lot of deficiencies in the body over time. I’m not sure if that’s the case but if the diet is severely lacking in healthy fats/protein, everything starts to break down after a few years. Hopefully this helps a bit! :)
I had that numbness feeling. How I got out of it I prayed to Jesus Christ to take it away and to restore me and he did 🙏❤️ prayers going out to you it’s a bad feeling to have daily struggle to do even every day tasks 😢
I totally agree with you, Jesus changed my life completely… 🙏🏻 Best wishes for Demi. 💝
Thank you for your honesty and posting this video
Demi. We completely relate. It is better to vocalize and no keep it in. We are glad you tell us this because everyone wants to know others feel the same way.
it may be time to leave Dubai. The UAE is a false promised land.
Hi! I randomly stumbled across your channel the other week and I feel like you’ve changed my perfume life. I just received my first order of new perfumes and things will never be the same! Sending happy vibes! ❤️
Sometimes I feel the same my reason is because of my chronic lower back pain I have not had motivation to get out and excercise thank you Demi im going to get fresh air and exercise again im glad you have shared ❤ keep us updated
This is so relatable. I feel kinda stuck in my life right now, with everything and it does affect your outlook on everything. I am becoming aware of my moods, and yeah, I’m more negative and I hate it. I hate having that negative Nancy attitude. I annoy myself, but I know I will get past it. Thank you for sharing, I think it happens to all of us.
Good luck Demi! You got this and may God bless you ❤
Thanks for the honesty. You're not alone.
I can definitely relate. Have you looked into your Human Design type? If you’re a Projector, we are prone to burnout if we’re trying to go go go too much and we become bitter when out of alignment.
Extremely brave speaking out Demi. Sending hugs. Talk is so so important & also writing down your feelings (both positive and negative) and then going through them. You make so much difference to countless numbers of people around the world - me included - so now it's time to focus on you & feel the love from all of us x
I'm going through the same issues. Life is definitely different right now. Also, as a business owner, stress is inevitable, and I've been struggling to be passionate and motivated. You're not alone 😊
Hey Demi sorry you are feeling this way & I can really relate. What worked for me is a total disconnect and put things into perspective & take some time to heal. Sending you some good vibes & will wishes. Look forward in seeing you well again.
Happy 2024 to you too! I have just discovered your channel and absolutely love it! Please take care of yourself, lovely!
I had a burn out and the stress of not keeping up with my work with everything else caused a breakdown. Taking time is a must and it's okay and understandable. I still don't know how I'm going to get everything done but I learned the no. 1 priority is my family and taking time for myself.
We had lots of sudden family deaths, house moves, career stress and all of a sudden it hit me as well. This "I no longer enjoy things" feeling. Playing guitar, seeing people, gaming, sports, the fun all went. You've aknowledged it, it will not last, just allow yourself to reset in your own time. Your body will know
I've had one. For me the biggest one was mental training. Takes a long time to control your thoughts but it is so worth it. I also used some supplements. This is no solution but helps to take the edge off.
You are loved and we respect the honesty!
I felt very burnt out for months after architecture school and honestly sleeping a lot took a lot of time but healed it eventually. Recently I have been feeling burnt out from working too much, so I have been trying not to “do the most” and leaving maybe before the last person and giving myself some allowance to not get things done as quickly as possible to rest and spend time with the family. Weekend get always for hiking in the mountains or seeing family change of scenery and unplug from work and email that helps. Lastly being just lazy in general taking a hot soak watching my perfume or makeup 💄 videos or junk really tv drama. I know how you feel and I hope you find tools to heal yourself. Feeling burnout sucks
Aw babes you will get through it I promise ❤
Prayers for you.
Hi Demi. I hope you have a great support system around you. You are so amazing, creative & calculated when it comes to sharing your work and thoughts with us. I appreciate your journaling efforts bc I totally believe that that can be beneficial bc it can be a way to destress and organize thoughts. Sending you a Massive hug and love ❤❤
Gaining perspective from hearing other people's struggles always straightens me out. Most people have bigger struggles than me. When I'm reminded of that, I realize how blessed my life is. You might benefit from the same exercise.
Sending love! ❤️ I’m sorry it’s been so rough lately
That sounds like depression D. I am glad you have a therapist to help you thru this. Keep working out no matter what, it does get better. Good Luck!!
Dear Demi I wish you the best and hope you feel much better 🙏🏻 we need you ❤ you are the fragrances QUEEN 🥰
Demi I loved that you opened up to us. My advice try to keep things in perspective. Talk about how you feel at the moment I know holding things in just makes me feel worse I always feel better after a talk to my husband or even my bestie who is my sister. I will open up a little I suffer from ptsd when I get very anxious I breathe and remember all the good things In my life and what I’m thankful for. Everyone has a story to tell. Being a 2x breast cancer survivor when I get the “woes me “ I think about how lucky I am to survive have my amazing husband and family and amazing team of doctors. Be proud of yourself and what you have accomplished sending much love peace and harmony btw I am not spiritual at all. Take care Demi love you💕🤗
Thank you for opening up and being vulnerable and honest about how you are feeling. Have there been any major life changes lately? I know it is extremely difficult to pin point when things change, They just seem to happen. I always try to remind myself that everything In life is just temporary. I understand how you feel, And it is okay to feel the way you do. I think with everything going on in the world right now it is just tough. I like to go outside for walks, Read books, I to feel the burnout out right now. We will be okay
We are here. We Love you! I listened to the Podcast Lifespan, and it just gave me something to research and feel different than I had about life in general. ♥️
I feel like this and worst. Also I don't have a job (so no hobbies for me), my health is declining and I feel the same accumulation of anger and frustrations.
There is always someone who has it worse then you and me, and they go on.
I hope you recover soon, wish you the best!
It will get better. Hang in there. I know the burnout hard, and am trying to climb out of a burnout phase myself right now. Prayers for you to feel better.
I hope you feel better. Just keep moving and working. It will get better.
Good luck
“I’m excited to come out of it” is a really good outlook. Even though it’s lasted a while, knowing in the grand scheme of things it’s only temporary will spur you on though the rougher days. If this massive rut is the result of hormonal change or something chemical then great because I’m sure that can be addressed 100%. If not then I hope you find things in life to make you feel fulfilled. Human nature is chasing fulfilment and much like the mountain peak analogy, we find our fulfilment in climbing the mountain rather than actually reaching the summit. Often we think it’s the reverse but achieving goals and having none left is one reason for that rut feeling, as people we NEED to be striving toward something. Again, I hope you find those things and bounce back like Ice Spice’s butt. Big 2024 ahead! Sending love❤️
Understand everything you've said. Appreciate your sharing (as a choice). Creating and executing a daily plan is essentially grounding, when I feel disconnected, adrift, and anxious. Carving my own space and dedicating periods of solitude to recharge and develop depth of personal awareness aided my resilience. Assessing and prioritizing my perceived responsibilities and obligations from actual requirements illuminated mindset tuning to shift focus where my mind, body, and spirit could be better aligned. Delegated more. Above all, compassionately accepted self "as is." If my situation never changed, how could I adapt to bring most quality to my daily interactions and wellbeing. Blessed be!
Demi, thanks for sharing and being so transparent. You are so positive even though you don't feel ok. This condition is temporary and believe that it will definitely pass. Stay strong! Sending love! 💜💜
Praying for you Demi 💝 🤗
