It's absolutely crazy how we have normalized a society who makes people sick..

We're supposed to work more than what we enjoy life or hang out with people we love.. crazy. 8h sleep, 8h work and 8h free time they say... well in those 8 hours of free time people are supposed to get home from work, workout, clean, do laundry, cook, take care of kids/pets, hang out with people etc.. I really don't understand how people have time or energy for everything.

I got burned out after my school graduation around 20 years old.. almost 30 now and still struggling. Poor and no capability to work.. I'm not living, I'm just existing.. counting down the days of my life.

Burnout was also the beginning of the end for my mom..

That text ping at the beginning gave me anxiety too…definitely burnt out.

I've never felt this way in my life. I am so unbearably exhausted. The mental stress and critical thinking so many hours a day, I just feel like I can't do it anymore. I love my job, I enjoy my work. I fought for this position, planned for this position, I had my mind set on it. I am almost a year in and I just keep getting more more responsibilities forced on me. Several meetings a day with our team, our department, our customers, management; and they still expect perfect productivity. I told my supervisor today that I am quick and I work fast, but I cannot automate and process data like AI!

I’m home today and tomorrow sick. I’m so chronically burned out I can’t see a way out. I’ve had a couple breakdowns, taken time off hope this workshop helps. I’m being treated for depression and anxiety. Some days takes hours to get out of bed.

I like how being mindful of your current experience is a way to prevent burnout.

I got so burned out at a previous job... I loved the people, but the support just wasn't there from high management and the workload always kept increasing.

Realised I needed something to change when I was walking to the office and wishing a bus would come run me over so I could get a real break.

I am a homemaker, so my "workplace" is at home. I'm not as motivated as I used to be, to get this place organized and put together. It used to be a joy! Being "homebound" is really tough, especially when you are older, like me, with health issues that make it difficult to get out and about. I'm lucky that my spouse works from home, but sometimes I wonder if I, too, am suffering from "burnout"... a burnout of a different kind.

This is the case with school children. Adults don't realise how distressing it is for children to have to get up every morning to be put in a stressful classroom. Then to be given work that is way too hard for them and also the social demands. When the children don't perform as adults think they're labelled 'lazy' this is where it all starts. Good old education system conditioning them to get used to stress and long days.

Is there a term for “life burnout”? Because I feel burnt out in every area, I have lost interest in creative hobbies, career, or any sort of hard work or effort. I just want to lay in bed all day, and I am just 35

Facing hardcore burnout but love my career. Thanks for this video. I have trouble with burnout vs lazy.

[cadillacdeville]

I felt burnt out recently from, working, school, other job and additional classes. Now I'm starting to feel it from doing applications for several hours a day

[incubus_the_man]

I work in a factory 50-65 hours a week 4-6 days a week and I can't even get some people to see how stressful that is for some reason. I'm tried if being rushed on an assembly line working 2 or 3 hours straight before getting a 10 minute break. Not only is it physically exhausting but it's made worse by not being able to do much of anything outside of work.

Great topic! I love the way Kyle opens up and I'm a big fan of Dr. Ramani, she always blows my mind. Finally getting to understand what someone's experiencing is a big relief. I think just hearing a professional speaking about something and relating is an awakening. I'm so grateful to Dr. Ramani for helping me understand and heal. This Channel is a powerful result for everyone. Thank you for sharing!

I didn't know about burnout until a few days ago. Went for a blood pressure test. It came normal. I went for a blood test and it was all good. I'm a single parent working full time dealing with an ex who is a narcissist and addict. I'm "doing it all" and is not supposed to be that way. Thank you for this video

I can’t say that I like my work. I have ADHD, the type of job I have is difficult to keep up with because it’s tedious, has many parts, some tasks take entirely too long which is a disaster for an ADHDer. I feel like I’m currently experiencing burnout as I’m exhausted most of the time and feel very apathetic about work. It’s like I was anxious and stressed for so long that I just can’t care any longer. 😅 ETA - I work from home (full time) while raising two school aged children and all the stress that goes with that. I can handle the kids and house or I can handle the job…doing both feels like drowning.

I have been under treatment from depression and anxiety for over 15 years, and now it makes sense that I have been burned out that long. My doc keeps suggesting upping my antidepressants, but that is just putting a pretty painting over a huge hole in the wall.

This has affected my family relationships, friendships, my quality of work and a total loss of interest in anything I used to like doing. My therapist asked me, "What would you do if you didn't have to work at your current job? What would you really like to do?"

My answer was, "Sleep, watch TV or stare off into space."

I know I am better than this, but I think I need to go off on a long leave of absence (which I have available through my employer, thankfully). My psychiatrist is "old school, " and reluctant to help me get that extended leave. I think I need a year, maybe more, but his strategy is to go a month at a time, which to me is stressful in itself. He doesn't want to sully his clinic's reputation and relationship with a major corporation he works closely with. Maybe I need to find another doctor, one that has a good understanding of burn out, like Dr. R.

I would love to see burnout addressed for parents of mentally ill children. There is very little support. It’s hard to find therapy. You’re lucky if your child is hospitalized for even 7 days. Your child is usually not released into a therapy program but sent back home to wait for an opening for your very unstable child. And what happens if your child is violent or refuses to cooperate with the therapy? Sent back home to parents. We parents have NO professional skills and yet, we are somehow expected to manage in a skillful way.

For me, the only thing that finally helped was brain development. I am a lucky parent. And still I’m dealing with chronic fatigue and cPTSD. Major burnout with never enough time to recover. Left me unable to work the last 5 yrs. It’s not a job we can quit.

[liamlynch]

After 7 years of a nonstop managerial job within a toxic environment, I broke. Quite literally sobbing to my wife, then sobbing in the doctor’s office. Uncontrollable. My brain just wouldn’t do it anymore. Work was 6-7 days per week, getting up early to “catch up”, working late etc. Despite that, upper management gaslit you if you raised your hand or made a mistake. It was awful. SSRIs evened me out some and gave me the energy and courage to find a new job and take the leap of faith. It worked out very well. I still fight fatigue, anxiety, irritability but I also have three kids under 5, so IYKYK. I don’t know if I’ll ever feel totally recovered but at least my current workplace is reasonable and supportive.

Kyle Thank you for all you do on this platform. Thank you for your willingness to be open even about your own experiences. But most importantly thank you for being you. This channel has been helping me better articulate my needs to my doctors and nurses over the past 2-5yrs and I’m very grateful I stumbled into it one time when I was in a really dark space and chronically suicidal.
This channel really has been a game changer. 💙🙏

No mention of caregiver burnout. I've had to deal with that for years for my mom, doing all of her executorship stuff (still ongoing)... all at the same time discovering my soon to be ex is probably a covert narcissist... and I've been battling 3 yrs to get a separation agreement realized. I also feel that I've discovered I am a high functioning codependent (codependent mom I protected from my slave driver narcissistic father).
