Emotional exhaustion can creep in quietly. You keep showing up for everyone, until one day you realize you have nothing left for yourself.
Common signs
- Feeling tired even after a full night’s sleep
- Getting irritated by small things
- Feeling numb or detached
- Losing interest in things you used to enjoy
- Finding it hard to focus or make decisions
Gentle ways to refill
- Schedule rest the way you schedule appointments.
- Say no to one non-essential thing this week.
- Move softly: a slow walk, stretching or gentle yoga.
- Journal for five minutes about what’s weighing on you.
- Ask for help, from friends, family or a professional.
