The scary part about burnout is you start to doubt if what you’re doing is what you want to do. You ask yourself if you’re burnt out, or if you’re losing interest in the thing you love.
I have had so many teachers in art college argue that we don’t have “real burn out” or that if we don’t enjoy doing what we’re doing 24/7 we should probably switch careers. Was not good for my lil mind
i guess im just especially susceptible to burnout or something, because i just cant push myself seriously to work on a game anymore. but it doesnt really help that when i make a 1:1 faithful recreation of the fnaf map and jumpscares and lighting, that my coder just doesnt finish it for an entire year of me nagging him despite it being relatively easy to finish up his unfinished work...
It is very scary. I love what I do, but I sometimes have those same thoughts during burnout, and I start to question the role I put myself in, but realize that I don't have any other things that interest me, which puts an even scarier thought in my head. Will I just have nothing meaningful to do anymore? Honestly, it's one of the worst feelings I could have.
Burnout of all emotions. It's a curse. Also, a sign of depression. But in my case, it's constant and annoying. Not really depressing cuz I keep myself entertained.
I've had burnout for over 5 years. I thought it was depression and suicidal thoughts, but then my mom said "Some people have it worse" so now I'm cured. I guess the tired feeling and wanting to end it all is just a lack of motivation
Literally had to switch careers and stop making art due to burnout. I deeply appreciate every artist who can continue to create and bring art to the rest of us
Right, like I love art and drawing but holy cow does it stress me out to the point of total burnout then I just don't draw for another year before doing it again and now I'm just asking myself if I'm even interested in drawing anymore cause it sure as hell don't seem like it 💀
@@Glamrock-Sakuramaybe try to approach the things you like from another perspective? I've done this when my burnout start's to show, usually I draw my own pieces sometimes with too much focus to the point where it feels exhausting, that's when I just draw fanart to chill. Just a suggestion bro
Good for you. As beautiful as art can be sometimes the healthiest perspective it can give you is the integrity to appreciate it from afar for awhile. We all need rest.
Same. Thought art would be the most fulfilling way to go. It absolutely wasn't. Gave me a bunch of hangups about my techniques as well. Had to switch back to science, which so far has been the only path I feel at all stable with.
ive been doing art since i was little. everyone peaised me for it and i wasnt good at much else so i thought art would be my career. i still think it is but when i went to a art college for 2 quarters i got so burnt out i doubted that i was even good. the scholl was stressful for me but i think ill still do art but as a hobby til im really ready
Just a reminder; you can burnout on anything that pre-occupies too much of your mind. It can be work, it can be a hobby, it can be a project, it can even be an overbearing friend. When that happens, you just gotta say "that's enough, this is killing me, I need a few days away." And you're not lazy for it. Your brain just can't keep using the same pathways 24/7, or its just gonna wear itself out.
That's completely true. I kept thinking I was lazy, so I would push myself, inevitably making the burnout worse. I think everyone needs that exact advice.
This is 100% true. I have ADHD & ODD so I basically live in an endless cycle of hyperfixate on something for like a week, get burnt out with whatever I'm hyperfixating on, move on to something else, and repeat. I get incredibly insecure because I struggle with commitment and tend to become what I call a 'Momentary Expert' on whatever caught my eye for the time being. I get told I'm flaky and have a hard time keeping connections and it is the biggest thing that keeps me up crying at night.
As someone who burned out on art for 6 months, couldn't do commissions, couldn't even draw for myself... Yeah, you have to be careful when you're feeling yourself get overworked
I've experienced burnout two times in my life, and man, those days were the worst days of my life. The feeling of hopelessness and depression is so overwhelming
@@lesteregonia3941 based on the comments im pretty sure it means feeling like a machine that stops working because it has been on and overheating for so long. Like a laptop that hasn’t been shutdown for 2 days. Except its for human hobbies and stuff but the reason they feel this is because they usually take the hobby as work or something, i hope im not wrong
@@lesteregonia3941 imagine doing something like smoking, at first it’s sort of enjoyable and makes you feel a bit better when you’re stressed but you start to feel worse and worse and it can only help you climb back up a bit before falling deeper than you were before. the exhaustion and despair grows until you come to realize your form of escape became what you were escaping from. once you’re at this point everything is tiring, sometimes it’s too much effort to do anything you enjoy or what PANDU D. said, they did a pretty good job too i think
You know youve got it when you’re lying around thinking to yourself things like “You should be working harder on your supposed passion”, and “Maybe burnout isnt real, maybe Im just too lazy to do the things I like?”.
I’m headed into high school right now and experienced burnout for the first time (and hopefully last time) last year, this video captures perfectly how no matter what you do, you always feel like a piece of junk lying on the ground when experiencing it.
Oh man, burnout. I had this with my drumming classes, I had felt like it wasn’t the skill for me anymore. This stretched on for MONTHS, and every time i went to my classes i felt like I was getting much more tired of it. Took a small break from it (around a month) and now i’m back, and i’m not burnt out. To all, if you’re burnt out from the hard work you put into things, take a nice long break from it. It’ll really get you back into the swing of things.
The most real feeling is getting layed on your bed and start thinking if this life and how it is how you truly wanted it to be, and so how slowly things you liked to do or relaxed you slowly turned boring. And studying the one thing that you liked, slowly turned bored too.
I just need to get a good night's sleep. Then I'll be fine. Just need a good night's sleep. A good night's sleep. Everything is falling apart. A good night's sleep is like the asymptote of f(x)=1/x and I'm the curve. Bloody hell.
When I was in a math intesession class whenever I tried to sleep, my brain subconsciously made me think of sleep as the triple integral of something from the time I sleep to the time I wake up and I could not sleep
i just get floods of memories when my parents tell me "tired? tired of what? you're only 16, you shouldn't be tired." edit: yeah yeah boohoo i edited to thank people whatever. this reply section has made me really happy. thank you for all the condolences and appreciative messages. i'm really trying to get through shit rn
And then proceed to compare their life and scolding for being "too sensitive"... I mean I know my parent's life is much harder than us, younger generation that have so much advantages than them. But is it that hard to just listen when their kids have problem? Or giving comfort and encourage words? Hell, even giving a hug is much better if they couldn't respond it. Sorry for vent in the comment, because I too always get that response when I said I'm tired.
@@alcopops3853 and then they choose to ignore the fact that older generations should be glad that newer generations dont have to go through the same hardship they did. like yea dad I know that back then parents literally didn't give two shits about their own children and now they want you to have empathy, it's almost as if over time, people's quality of life improves!
yeah i told my mom i was stressed out because of "something", she proceeded to tell me about her life back then. it made me uncomfortable, it was something about her dad t0uch1ng her. i didn't want to listen anymore
it's been five months. i'm slowly getting back, sometimes i have days of feeling that i can't do anything. other times, i manage to accomplish many things. if you're reading this and suffering through a burn out, i believe that you can overcome it someday. edit: it's been ten months, i'm a different, better person. scored top in the form, have exams coming up, and haven't had a burn out since. studying hard, but putting myself first too. life really does get better.
Thank you for this. This comments is quite reassuring for me, especially the quote on when you say, “life does get better” makes me feel more calmer and really does brings a sense of reassurance for my upcoming days. So thank you for this.
Same, currently in a burnout and art block, it sucks. I’m desperately trying to find my art style and be more artistic, more fun. Get your energy up, be more.. active, make better art, study anatomy, farm genshin artifacts, do this do that. I hate burnouts.
this feels surreal because i’m currently pulling my 10th all nighter of the semester and listening to the same cave story soundtrack playlist on repeat
Just be sure to take breaks, and find some other hobbies to work on in the meantime. Remember to keep things fresh in the future to prevent further burnout, and try to mix hobbies together in some places. Hope this helps!
I feel like this rn. Relationships and homework feels overwhelming and now I’ve totally lost motivation and now I feel out of touch. I’m scared of what I may lose if I continue to feel like this. Things are already bad as is.
I felt EXACTLY like that last year I was working so hard to put other people and school in front of me instead of thinking about myself and overwhelmed over everything no matter how easy it was I had no motivation to even want to wake up to go through that every day and ended up just like you I know how it feels I used to cry every night hoping the next day I’ll be fine I tried to have friends but ended up being fake and getting made fun of and in drama now I’m way better but every day when I start to think about last year I end up tearing up or even crying like right now
@@magicspaghetti2446 Over time you start relizing how less and less things that surround you every day actaully matter in your life, but this is also the point when you realize the cost of loving yourself. There really is no need to put youself in the front of your society if you realize you don't need it. You show yourself as a great person to everyone but in reality you're just suffering because of that. Better slowly and steadily improve yourself, even if no one notices this. It's okay if you don't go too well with people around you, and it's also alright if you don't have friends in school. It's just the case when simply no one actually shares the same mind as you... yet. Do not rush and overwhelm yourself by doing things you don't need. You of course have to do homework while you're in school, but you can't get away from of it. Do what you love to do! Having a hobby is a great thing And lastly, just love yourself. Don't be afraid to take a rest to your mind, and remember about improving yourself. Mental health is perhaps the most important factor of how good you are doing in life. Keep yourself safe ♥
i feel this its hard when suddenly you realize you don't "love" what you "loved" what you built your whole life around "my former passion is supposed to be my personality! i can't lose it!" but why is it gone?
@@thefireman17492 (long comment incoming ;^^) its complicated if it can be considered a "solution" what (sort of) did it for me was eventually getting to the breaking point where i went from feeling sad to angry and frustrated instead. For me, my source of burnout was, and still is, art. I ended up practically not drawing at all for like a year (my comment was during that) and basically just mourned about it the whole time. I was in a really bad state and the emotion I can remember feeling at the time was constant sadness. I hit a breaking point around the end of the year where I started noticing my art wasn't improving. It wasn't changing at all. And previously I had been "content" with it, and just wanted to get myself to draw in the first place, but now, I absolutely couldn't stand how it looked. It made me want to pull my hair out. Then I realized that this was the first time in at least 2 years that I had genuinely HATED my art. I remember my phase in highschool where I always hated my art, thought everyone was better than me, wanted to change all the mistakes in my art, and wanted to improve basically because of how good I wanted to be and how much I hated my work. All the self-hate wasn't really pretty, but looking back on it, that's what used to motivate me to draw every day. I wasn't going to be satisfied until I made something that looked exactly the way I wanted it to be in my head. When I asked myself "I keep saying I need to, want to draw, in order to maintain what's supposed to be my passion, but if I were to draw, what would I even draw in the first place?!" Realizing you have no answer to that question is the starting point, I think. Whatever is your "passion" can just be a hobby, to be honest. And you know, when you're feeling more healthy and stable, you can switch that status back to "passion" and build those kinds of feelings up again. When engaging in your hobby, just do whatever. For me, I started trying to draw something every day, even if it sucked, even if i hated it-- even if it was just a line!!! Since most of my drawings have ended up being "just a line", there hasn't been a lot of art that I've been able to show or wanted to show to people. But I think that's pretty chill, because as difficult as it is, it gives me time to fight with myself instead of anybody else over what my art means to me. I'd say, have a fight with yourself, and don't bother getting anyone else involved, yeah? Whatever your passion is, imagine you're the only one in the world while you do it. You're standing a blank canvas alone in a small room with no one to talk to except for yourself. Converse with your mind. Argue with it. It's a shadow, a mirror, and a reflection of yourself. What are you two going to do; you and yourself? ahh, i feel a bit embarrassed that it may sound overly philosophical I guess I'm trying to say, don't be afraid to feel angry at yourself. Take some time alone and think long and hard about how or why you might be frustrated with your current state I think it's also important to, or try to, spend some time alone, not only in a room without other people, but with your phone off and in another room, your computer off, et cetera. Being away from other people's thoughts or opinion will hopefully help you get some headspace. honestly mental health has a lot to do with it but simply trying to take a break from your hobby might not be enough to help you feel relieved or recover All of the usual things like disconnecting and being in nature or spending time alone are extremely important! Also stuff like drinking water, taking showers regularly, making an effort to try getting yourself out of bed without sleeping through your alarm, etc, will help in the long run, when you feel like you're at least taking care of yourself and keeping yourself in good condition. That kind of self care will already give you a lot more of a sense of control over your life -- even if its "just day to day things" because actually, those things are really important, and can be really hard to do (this is speaking from experience) Everything you think about or do matters and is important. Just the fact that you *wanted* to try and find happiness in your hobby again is an important and precious thought. You are a wonderful, thinking, breathing human being. Don't downplay the importance of your everyday actions, no matter what you do, even the things people consider most mundane like walking or squinting or eating or sleeping, are amazing things because you're alive right here and doing them. That hobby is another part of your fascinating mind. And its in no way less than everything else you do, because everything you do is wonderful. It takes a lot of effort to even care about something in the first place. Right now, you're not able to get yourself to do your hobby whatsoever, but that fact that that upsets you, and that your ideal is to find joy in it again, proves that you care about it still. It took a lot of effort for you to get so far that if something isnt making you happy anymore, you still want to find a way for it to make you happy again and for you to keep doing it. You have a strong internal conviction that is there to protect you. Even if you do not know it, I think you are strong, and I think that with the way things are going, in actuality, your feelings are going to find their way back you someday. If you're feeling unmotivated to indulge in your hobby but without a sense of closure, then the ending of this rough patch in your life isn't determined yet. Until you can quit something without regretting it, it's still a part of your identity. Or something, if that makes sense ;^_^ Anyways, I'm just throwing a bunch of thoughts out there, I hope some of them could strike a chord with you. And as I am still ever-struggling with these feelings, I want to immediately say that I see the amount of effort you are putting into every day, and that your life is precious, and that you are a wonderful, fascinating, and excellent person. I'm sorry that you are going through this pain. I am right here with you. I am telling you, you definitely deserve to survive. I am proud of you for still thinking about, and asking for help about, what to make out of your life. I am proud of you getting through this day; I believe in you and will support you for the struggle that is tomorrow too. We're all in this together, this world is crazy, and I just wanna shake your hand. I think you are a fine and upstanding person. You are still doing wonderfully ;w;
@@couragedraws honestly I relate to this too much. Even daily life can be such a struggle for some people, life can be depressing but also so fulfilling at different times. I myself struggle to be productive at all whilst also trying to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Then you still have to clean you’re house every now again (if you can afford one nowadays), cook a healthy meal everyday, keep social contacts and keep moving like jogging or biking. And then we are supposed to cram work in between? All this free time of mine and I still feel like I dont have enough time on this world to learn new things and to experience the world. At the same time bills are racking up and the housing shortage plus inflation aren’t exactly helping (thanks putin I guess), while inequality is ever increasing and the bankers, CEO’s, oil companies keep raking in record profits and the average joe just has to “work harder” to achieve financial security. It all seems purposeless to try to fight it all when far right social media propaganda campaigns keep divisions high in democracies around the world. Not to mention all other struggles happening in the world like Ukraine or Africa for example. I don’t have to fight to survive or eat the next day. All I do is go through the motions trying to not let myself slip further into the abyss and trying to think about how beautiful people, nature and science is
I experienced true, full blown burn out towards the end of my sophomore year of high school for the first time in my life and God damn did it hit me like a truck. Couldn't focus, was constantly stressed and tired and breaking down feeling like everything was just an endless loop I'd be stuck in for the rest of my life. Luckily I was able to Crack down and focus on getting my assignments in all in time for the last day of school and then summer. Summer really saved me man and I feel so much better.
That's literally exactly what I'm going through right now! Even accurate with the timing. For me though, I'm taking a summer course that runs for 6 weeks straight, even on weekends, with only a 1 week break in the very middle. So... not great for the burnout. But thank you for sharing, makes me feel a little better. I hope you're doing well now :)
I really like the different types of burnout displayed in this short animation lol Example: The burn out from some hobby, like a game, or from something you like doing but feel like you aren’t good enough, the drawing one
I’ve learned to recognize it early on and let it happen. If you embrace the burnout, say “I’m taking some time off, be back when I’m feeling better,” and then just _let go_ of the things crushing you, it is amazing how much more quickly it goes away and you get your passion back.
Don't worry brother. I know it's been a little bit since you posted this but eventually it gets better. The hardest part is keeping yourself from diving 100% into something once you think your over the burnout. Because you never truely will be that 100% person again.
Yes. Every day you get closer to death, you have less and less energy each day. What once felt desirable now it feels shallow. No energy left to do anything, no friends, no family, no love. And then you die.
from experience the easiest way to get over burnout is changing ur daily routine and finding new hobbies such as playing insturments or other activities
Damn...do I have burnout? I thought I was just undisciplined, how does being burnt out even feel? Am I depressed? What does *that* feel like? I curse my brain and the existence I have been given, I find myself constantly second guessing every state of being I'm in short of the primary ones of "sad", "mad", and "glad", fear, (and appreciation).
Cave story Music really makes you feel the burnout or something along those lines I guess. Hope you are feeling better, dont let the burnout get to you! Take a break whenever you need.
I’ve only felt burnout once in my life and that’s at school. I’ve done school for so long I just don’t feel like doing it at all anymore and I just wanna drop out due to this problem. It’s only the motivation of my parents and teachers that keep me going
Recovery to get your energy back isn't "lazy" or "worthless" if its going to help you in the long run. Deserving an off day where you do nothing is important as you need it to recharge. The burnout I can't talk from experince but its the maximum, where you physically just cannot work, so you need to recover as much as possible.
Recently after wondering for over a year now why I can't pick up the hobbies and things I loved without seeing them as tiering I've realized I'm just completely burned out. I can't get anything together and at the smallest amounts of pressure I just crumble underneath it. And I really don't know how to get out of it. It started years ago and just last year it cost me my passions.
For some reason i easily get burnt out with everything, taking showers cooking playing video games but now I'm trying to train myself to not get burn out as fast
The scary part about burnout is you start to doubt if what you’re doing is what you want to do. You ask yourself if you’re burnt out, or if you’re losing interest in the thing you love.

A good night's sleep.
Everything is falling apart.
A good night's sleep is like the asymptote of f(x)=1/x and I'm the curve.
Bloody hell.
No sir. You’re in *special* hell. It’s called “Earth”. The rich get richer, the middle class gets f**ked over and the poor is near nothing to people.
This is me lol
When I was in a math intesession class whenever I tried to sleep, my brain subconsciously made me think of sleep as the triple integral of something from the time I sleep to the time I wake up and I could not sleep

I've been suffering a burnout for a long while now and cannot seem to make it go away at all.
i just get floods of memories when my parents tell me "tired? tired of what? you're only 16, you shouldn't be tired."
edit: yeah yeah boohoo i edited to thank people whatever. this reply section has made me really happy. thank you for all the condolences and appreciative messages. i'm really trying to get through shit rn
And then proceed to compare their life and scolding for being "too sensitive"...
I mean I know my parent's life is much harder than us, younger generation that have so much advantages than them. But is it that hard to just listen when their kids have problem? Or giving comfort and encourage words? Hell, even giving a hug is much better if they couldn't respond it.
Sorry for vent in the comment, because I too always get that response when I said I'm tired.
Or they'd say "it's all because of that phone" or "you're literally doing nothing just lazing around"
Or compare your experiences as a child to their experiences as an adult, as if you're on the same level or as if you're the same person as them.
@@alcopops3853 and then they choose to ignore the fact that older generations should be glad that newer generations dont have to go through the same hardship they did. like yea dad I know that back then parents literally didn't give two shits about their own children and now they want you to have empathy, it's almost as if over time, people's quality of life improves!
yeah
i told my mom i was stressed out because of "something", she proceeded to tell me about her life back then. it made me uncomfortable, it was something about her dad t0uch1ng her. i didn't want to listen anymore
it's been five months. i'm slowly getting back, sometimes i have days of feeling that i can't do anything. other times, i manage to accomplish many things. if you're reading this and suffering through a burn out, i believe that you can overcome it someday.
edit: it's been ten months, i'm a different, better person. scored top in the form, have exams coming up, and haven't had a burn out since. studying hard, but putting myself first too.
life really does get better.
Yeah
Your experience is worth sharing, thank you for the update 😊
@@mu4784 aw thank you! just finished my exams, everything's going great so far 🌻
Thank you for this. This comments is quite reassuring for me, especially the quote on when you say, “life does get better” makes me feel more calmer and really does brings a sense of reassurance for my upcoming days. So thank you for this.

As someone who has had burnout, it is not fun. You're not being lazy. You've just put everything you can into your work. You've run out of fuel.
No you haven't. What's keeping you from going more? You, yourself.
@@GenericPhantom1 it would ve he's body but i think You are being sarcastic sowwy
Not fuel, it's energy
@@GenericPhantom1mate everyone needs a break from time to time.
Same, currently in a burnout and art block, it sucks. I’m desperately trying to find my art style and be more artistic, more fun. Get your energy up, be more.. active, make better art, study anatomy, farm genshin artifacts, do this do that. I hate burnouts.
This guy need someone to hug him BADLY
this feels surreal because i’m currently pulling my 10th all nighter of the semester and listening to the same cave story soundtrack playlist on repeat
Hey take some time for yourself work can wait it won't matter if you cant stay awake for it
@@ScreamingSandwitch ❤️
As someone who recently beat depression (about a year ago) and has gone all in on their hobbies, I live in constant fear of burnout.
Remember to do things because you love them, not because it's work. If you think it's just work than you're just going to overwork yourself
Any tips on how to get over it
Just be sure to take breaks, and find some other hobbies to work on in the meantime. Remember to keep things fresh in the future to prevent further burnout, and try to mix hobbies together in some places. Hope this helps!
@@Ray_Moses well fuck. Guess I gotta get a different job. I wonder if the feeling of needing to scream/talk is normal?
When you do eventually crash and burn, give the rest of us a heads up so we can get the marshmallows ready

@@kok0nut the wii port had some bangers in the ost though
Cave Story is the BEST GAME EVER!
Really, you should play
I feel like this rn. Relationships and homework feels overwhelming and now I’ve totally lost motivation and now I feel out of touch. I’m scared of what I may lose if I continue to feel like this. Things are already bad as is.
Hope you're doing okay
I felt EXACTLY like that last year I was working so hard to put other people and school in front of me instead of thinking about myself and overwhelmed over everything no matter how easy it was I had no motivation to even want to wake up to go through that every day and ended up just like you I know how it feels I used to cry every night hoping the next day I’ll be fine I tried to have friends but ended up being fake and getting made fun of and in drama now I’m way better but every day when I start to think about last year I end up tearing up or even crying like right now
@@magicspaghetti2446 Over time you start relizing how less and less things that surround you every day actaully matter in your life, but this is also the point when you realize the cost of loving yourself. There really is no need to put youself in the front of your society if you realize you don't need it. You show yourself as a great person to everyone but in reality you're just suffering because of that. Better slowly and steadily improve yourself, even if no one notices this.
It's okay if you don't go too well with people around you, and it's also alright if you don't have friends in school. It's just the case when simply no one actually shares the same mind as you... yet.
Do not rush and overwhelm yourself by doing things you don't need. You of course have to do homework while you're in school, but you can't get away from of it. Do what you love to do! Having a hobby is a great thing
And lastly, just love yourself. Don't be afraid to take a rest to your mind, and remember about improving yourself. Mental health is perhaps the most important factor of how good you are doing in life.
Keep yourself safe ♥
@@mellborry Omg I really needed this I could cry right now thank you so much for the comfort
I feel like that everyday and still my mom says “get up and stop being lazy”.. 😔
Congrats you literally described my entire day in 18 seconds
Same, back in December.
i don't remember giving anyone permission to record me
Lol
same
i feel this
its hard when suddenly you realize you don't "love" what you "loved"
what you built your whole life around
"my former passion is supposed to be my personality! i can't lose it!"
but why is it gone?
Fk you talking about💀?
Have you found a solution to that feeling? Or did you just.. Give up?
Also, i feel the exact same way.

@@thefireman17492
(long comment incoming ;^^)
its complicated
if it can be considered a "solution" what (sort of) did it for me was eventually getting to the breaking point where i went from feeling sad to angry and frustrated instead.
For me, my source of burnout was, and still is, art. I ended up practically not drawing at all for like a year (my comment was during that) and basically just mourned about it the whole time. I was in a really bad state and the emotion I can remember feeling at the time was constant sadness.
I hit a breaking point around the end of the year where I started noticing my art wasn't improving. It wasn't changing at all. And previously I had been "content" with it, and just wanted to get myself to draw in the first place, but now, I absolutely couldn't stand how it looked. It made me want to pull my hair out. Then I realized that this was the first time in at least 2 years that I had genuinely HATED my art. I remember my phase in highschool where I always hated my art, thought everyone was better than me, wanted to change all the mistakes in my art, and wanted to improve basically because of how good I wanted to be and how much I hated my work. All the self-hate wasn't really pretty, but looking back on it, that's what used to motivate me to draw every day. I wasn't going to be satisfied until I made something that looked exactly the way I wanted it to be in my head.
When I asked myself "I keep saying I need to, want to draw, in order to maintain what's supposed to be my passion, but if I were to draw, what would I even draw in the first place?!"
Realizing you have no answer to that question is the starting point, I think.
Whatever is your "passion" can just be a hobby, to be honest. And you know, when you're feeling more healthy and stable, you can switch that status back to "passion" and build those kinds of feelings up again. When engaging in your hobby, just do whatever. For me, I started trying to draw something every day, even if it sucked, even if i hated it-- even if it was just a line!!! Since most of my drawings have ended up being "just a line", there hasn't been a lot of art that I've been able to show or wanted to show to people. But I think that's pretty chill, because as difficult as it is, it gives me time to fight with myself instead of anybody else over what my art means to me.
I'd say, have a fight with yourself, and don't bother getting anyone else involved, yeah? Whatever your passion is, imagine you're the only one in the world while you do it. You're standing a blank canvas alone in a small room with no one to talk to except for yourself. Converse with your mind. Argue with it. It's a shadow, a mirror, and a reflection of yourself. What are you two going to do; you and yourself?
ahh, i feel a bit embarrassed that it may sound overly philosophical
I guess I'm trying to say, don't be afraid to feel angry at yourself. Take some time alone and think long and hard about how or why you might be frustrated with your current state
I think it's also important to, or try to, spend some time alone, not only in a room without other people, but with your phone off and in another room, your computer off, et cetera. Being away from other people's thoughts or opinion will hopefully help you get some headspace.
honestly mental health has a lot to do with it but simply trying to take a break from your hobby might not be enough to help you feel relieved or recover
All of the usual things like disconnecting and being in nature or spending time alone are extremely important! Also stuff like drinking water, taking showers regularly, making an effort to try getting yourself out of bed without sleeping through your alarm, etc, will help in the long run, when you feel like you're at least taking care of yourself and keeping yourself in good condition. That kind of self care will already give you a lot more of a sense of control over your life -- even if its "just day to day things" because actually, those things are really important, and can be really hard to do (this is speaking from experience)
Everything you think about or do matters and is important. Just the fact that you *wanted* to try and find happiness in your hobby again is an important and precious thought. You are a wonderful, thinking, breathing human being. Don't downplay the importance of your everyday actions, no matter what you do, even the things people consider most mundane like walking or squinting or eating or sleeping, are amazing things because you're alive right here and doing them. That hobby is another part of your fascinating mind. And its in no way less than everything else you do, because everything you do is wonderful.
It takes a lot of effort to even care about something in the first place. Right now, you're not able to get yourself to do your hobby whatsoever, but that fact that that upsets you, and that your ideal is to find joy in it again, proves that you care about it still. It took a lot of effort for you to get so far that if something isnt making you happy anymore, you still want to find a way for it to make you happy again and for you to keep doing it. You have a strong internal conviction that is there to protect you. Even if you do not know it, I think you are strong, and I think that with the way things are going, in actuality, your feelings are going to find their way back you someday. If you're feeling unmotivated to indulge in your hobby but without a sense of closure, then the ending of this rough patch in your life isn't determined yet. Until you can quit something without regretting it, it's still a part of your identity.
Or something, if that makes sense ;^_^
Anyways, I'm just throwing a bunch of thoughts out there, I hope some of them could strike a chord with you.
And as I am still ever-struggling with these feelings, I want to immediately say that I see the amount of effort you are putting into every day, and that your life is precious, and that you are a wonderful, fascinating, and excellent person.
I'm sorry that you are going through this pain. I am right here with you. I am telling you, you definitely deserve to survive. I am proud of you for still thinking about, and asking for help about, what to make out of your life. I am proud of you getting through this day; I believe in you and will support you for the struggle that is tomorrow too. We're all in this together, this world is crazy, and I just wanna shake your hand. I think you are a fine and upstanding person. You are still doing wonderfully ;w;
@@couragedraws honestly I relate to this too much. Even daily life can be such a struggle for some people, life can be depressing but also so fulfilling at different times. I myself struggle to be productive at all whilst also trying to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Then you still have to clean you’re house every now again (if you can afford one nowadays), cook a healthy meal everyday, keep social contacts and keep moving like jogging or biking. And then we are supposed to cram work in between? All this free time of mine and I still feel like I dont have enough time on this world to learn new things and to experience the world.
At the same time bills are racking up and the housing shortage plus inflation aren’t exactly helping (thanks putin I guess), while inequality is ever increasing and the bankers, CEO’s, oil companies keep raking in record profits and the average joe just has to “work harder” to achieve financial security. It all seems purposeless to try to fight it all when far right social media propaganda campaigns keep divisions high in democracies around the world.
Not to mention all other struggles happening in the world like Ukraine or Africa for example. I don’t have to fight to survive or eat the next day. All I do is go through the motions trying to not let myself slip further into the abyss and trying to think about how beautiful people, nature and science is
This seems like a death animation for a game like i was expecting a “click anywhere to continue” button
thats cause the music is "game over" from cave story
I love how you picked the Cave story game over theme. Underrated game.
I experienced true, full blown burn out towards the end of my sophomore year of high school for the first time in my life and God damn did it hit me like a truck. Couldn't focus, was constantly stressed and tired and breaking down feeling like everything was just an endless loop I'd be stuck in for the rest of my life. Luckily I was able to Crack down and focus on getting my assignments in all in time for the last day of school and then summer. Summer really saved me man and I feel so much better.
That's literally exactly what I'm going through right now! Even accurate with the timing. For me though, I'm taking a summer course that runs for 6 weeks straight, even on weekends, with only a 1 week break in the very middle. So... not great for the burnout. But thank you for sharing, makes me feel a little better. I hope you're doing well now :)

I really like the different types of burnout displayed in this short animation lol
Example: The burn out from some hobby, like a game, or from something you like doing but feel like you aren’t good enough, the drawing one
I’ve learned to recognize it early on and let it happen. If you embrace the burnout, say “I’m taking some time off, be back when I’m feeling better,” and then just _let go_ of the things crushing you, it is amazing how much more quickly it goes away and you get your passion back.
How do you recognise it early? I can't figure anything out until it's too late. Got any tips?
But what do you do when you can't afford to stop? What preventative measures can you take to avoid burnout without going broke?
as a perfectionist that already went through a lot of burnouts, that's very accurate
Again the cavestory sfx bruh i love it
You never forget burnout once you've felt it, and I gotta say, I have never been so afraid of a feeling in my life
been feeling this for months now, I feel like I’m in limbo watching my life go by
Don't worry brother. I know it's been a little bit since you posted this but eventually it gets better. The hardest part is keeping yourself from diving 100% into something once you think your over the burnout. Because you never truely will be that 100% person again.
Yes. Every day you get closer to death, you have less and less energy each day. What once felt desirable now it feels shallow. No energy left to do anything, no friends, no family, no love. And then you die.
Everybody loves beach day
I think this guy needs a beach day
from experience the easiest way to get over burnout is changing ur daily routine and finding new hobbies such as playing insturments or other activities
Then you wake up and think "oh, I'ma draw this today!!" And then after school when you can you're just tired or exhausted.
happened to me a few times :,3
I love how well the cave story music fits.
This is kinda mix with sadness, and justice

If you never experienced burnout, you have lived a steady life.
Damn...do I have burnout? I thought I was just undisciplined, how does being burnt out even feel? Am I depressed? What does *that* feel like? I curse my brain and the existence I have been given, I find myself constantly second guessing every state of being I'm in short of the primary ones of "sad", "mad", and "glad", fear, (and appreciation).
Wells just search for the opiniones of the persons You trust that might give You a better look at your own feelings

I think I've just given up.
I'm burned out on _life._

I’ve only felt burnout once in my life and that’s at school. I’ve done school for so long I just don’t feel like doing it at all anymore and I just wanna drop out due to this problem. It’s only the motivation of my parents and teachers that keep me going
Recovery to get your energy back isn't "lazy" or "worthless" if its going to help you in the long run.
Deserving an off day where you do nothing is important as you need it to recharge.
The burnout I can't talk from experince but its the maximum, where you physically just cannot work, so you need to recover as much as possible.
Amazing animation...i just love everything in it 🥺❤️
ah yes, cave story music.

Recently after wondering for over a year now why I can't pick up the hobbies and things I loved without seeing them as tiering I've realized I'm just completely burned out.
I can't get anything together and at the smallest amounts of pressure I just crumble underneath it.
And I really don't know how to get out of it. It started years ago and just last year it cost me my passions.
when you’re so tired you can’t even sleep
I’m burned out from existence. I’m not suicidal but I wouldn’t mind dying too much.
